The president and chief executive of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) says that the organization is well-placed to operate during the COVID-19 outbreak.
In a statement, Evan Siddall also issued a reminder that CMHC and other mortgage insurers have programs in place to assist homeowners who may struggle financially.
He stated that the risk to CMHC’s business is currently believed to be low but it has convened a Crisis Management Committee to ensure that the correct steps are being taken in collaboration with other government agencies.

Business as usual
Meanwhile, work goes on with CMHC proceeding with a commitment to price a $6 billion mortgage bond last week.
“Employers need to balance public health concerns with business requirements and public agencies like ourselves must promote stability. We recognize that we face a period of uncertainty in the coming weeks. As circumstances change, you will receive follow up communications from us,” Siddall concluded.
