Built from public sources and RBC’s own disclosures: 41 changes assessed in writing, ten dated in the past or within 30 days, and six more by 31 Dec 2026.

RBC is the subject of the analysis, not a client. No endorsement by RBC is implied.

Sources and coverage: fifteen sources, and the places not yet read

Fifteen sources for RBC’s footprint: the US Federal Register, the Canada Gazette, OSFI, FINTRAC, Parliament’s bill register, CBSA customs notices, CanadaBuys tenders, EUR-Lex, UK legislation and others. One document is often returned by several searches, so 34,333 rows read become 7,607 distinct documents. Of those, 210 reach RBC, 3,196 were set aside with a reason, 4,219 are not yet judged, 8 were unreadable and 1 awaits a person; 27 laws appear twice, kept then withdrawn at writing with a reason (210 + 3,196 + 4,219 + 8 + 1 = 7,634 = 7,607 + 27). The funnel is drawn on the Method page.

Zero in a place is not zero exposure: the places not read are listed under “Elsewhere” in the live sample.

Two exhibits

Each exhibit is drawn from the edition’s own tables or from RBC’s annual report, with the source printed on the plate. The funnel from 34,333 rows to six front-page items is on the Method page.

The reading

Canada alone is more than half of the bank’s revenue, so a Canadian rule carries more weight in its exposure picture than an American one, and one from elsewhere less again.
