Britain will not join the Canadian-led "Bank for Defence, Security and Resilience," Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the matter. A decision challenging the efforts to establish the first global security bank. However, the UK and Canada have announced that they will establish separate but complementary defense financing mechanisms. The Multilateral Defense Mechanism will focus on accelerating investment, financing joint procurement and aggregating the demand of NATO allies, and the Defense Bank will support defense industries and the supply chain. According to Reuters, the two countries disagreed on issues such as the location of the headquarters, joint acquisitions, granting of loans and company regulations. This bank, which will be based in Canada, plans to attract capital of about 100 billion euros. Canada, Albania, Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine have supported this program so far. Germany has not yet joined and is currently investigating the unresolved issues.
