Naimul Karim
Naimul Karim is a finance journalist at the Financial Post, covering the intersection of banking regulation, corporate restructurings, capital markets and corporate leadership. His recent work concentrates on large, high-profile institutions — big banks, a historic department-store chain, a flagship airline and the gold market — and on how decisions in boardrooms and regulatory agencies affect creditors, employees and investors. The through-line in his coverage is a focus on financial stress points: balance-sheet pressure, regulatory shifts, succession decisions and market signals that reveal where risk and value are moving in the economy.
Bank capital rules and systemic risk
Karim reports on changes to bank oversight through stories such as his piece on a regulator cutting big banks’ capital buffer for the first time in three years. He uses episodes like this to track how supervisory policy moves from technical discussion to real-world consequences for major lenders, credit conditions and the broader financial system. By situating rule changes alongside banks’ size and role in the economy, he distinguishes his work from routine earnings coverage and keeps the emphasis on systemic risk and financial stability rather than on single-quarter results.
Distressed retailers, asset sales and creditor recovery
Karim devotes sustained attention to the unwinding of Hudson’s Bay, treating the breakup of the historic retailer as both a corporate and financial story. In “Canadian history to go on the block as Hudson’s Bay unwinds its empire,” he follows how the company prepares to sell significant assets while negotiating with lenders and seeking court approval to manage roughly $1 billion in debt. He highlights measures such as the proposed hardship fund for current and former employees and the appointment of legal representation to protect workers’ interests, bringing labour, legal and creditor perspectives into a single narrative.
In follow-up coverage on Hudson’s Bay becoming a numbered company while continuing to sell assets to repay creditors, he returns to the details of asset disposals and debt repayment structures. Taken together, these stories show him tracking a restructuring over time, paying close attention to the mechanics of asset sales, the status of creditors and the changing legal form of the business. This emphasis on process and on the claims of different stakeholders sets his reporting apart from more superficial treatments of retail closures.
Gold prices and market sentiment
Karim also writes on capital markets, using gold as a lens on investor behaviour and macroeconomic anxiety. In coverage cited by other outlets, he notes that the average price of gold in the current year is at least $150 higher than in 2022, and explores the forces behind the metal’s rally. By connecting price moves to wider themes such as geopolitical conflict, currency shifts and demand for safe-haven assets, he treats commodities not as isolated data points but as indicators of sentiment across the financial system. This work extends his beat from corporate balance sheets into market psychology, showing how investors reprice risk when conditions change.
Corporate leadership and succession decisions
Karim’s reporting on corporate leadership includes coverage of CEO succession at Air Canada, where he examines how a change at the top of a national carrier fits into the company’s long-term strategy. In that story he engages with governance questions and board-level decision-making, looking beyond the announcement to what a leadership transition means for the airline’s future direction and stakeholders. By treating succession as a financial and strategic event rather than a purely personal milestone, he aligns it with his broader interest in how leadership choices shape the fortunes of major institutions.
Beat focus and reporting format
Across these pieces, Karim’s beat sits at the junction of corporate finance and public-interest business reporting. He gravitates to situations where capital structure, regulation and leadership decisions create pressure on companies and their stakeholders, whether in banking, retail, aviation or the gold market. His stories typically combine news of a specific event — a buffer cut, an asset sale, a price surge, a succession decision — with clear explanation of the financial context around it, making complex developments legible to a broad business audience while keeping the focus on consequences for creditors, employees and investors.
