The biggest banking failure since the 2008 global financial crisis shook financial markets in March 2023, after a few US banks collapsed.
What happened at these banks is not surprising, given the increasing interest rate environment. Higher rate cycles expose the weaknesses in business models and risk management practices.

And though there are talks of a looming recession,Pask says there lies an opportunity to get into investments that may have likely been too expensive before.
