(Reuters) – National Bank of Canada reported a fall in second-quarter profit on Wednesday as a shaky economy and a meltdown in the U.S. banking sector prompted the lender to set aside higher provisions.
Net income for the three months ended April 30 came in at C$847 million ($633.41 million) or C$2.38 a share, compared to C$889 million or C$2.53 a year ago.
