Canada’s banking regulator says the Canadian branch of Silicon Valley Bank is being restructured in a way that will allow it to continue operations in the country.

Superintendent of Financial Institutions Peter Routledge says he took the actions in coordination with U.S. officials in the best interest of the branch’s creditors.
