Stefanie Marotta reports on banking and financial regulation at the The Globe and Mail, covering the country's largest lenders and the industry' regulators. She has interviewed industry leaders at major events and conferences, including Sibos, Canadian Club Toronto and the Bloomberg Canadian Finance Conference, and shared her reporting on live television, radio and podcasts. Stefanie is also the 2025 Arthur F. Burns fellow. She spent two months reporting for The Globe and Mail from Berlin, Germany covering politics, trade, and defence. She covered stories across Germany, Poland and Italy. She previously covered equity markets at Bloomberg News and reported stories for the web and television on BNN Bloomberg. Her coverage focused on Canada’s stock market as it whipsawed amid rising interest rates, as well as banking, real estate, cannabis and technology stocks. Prior to that role, she reported on banks, deals and fintech at the Financial Post. Previously, she spent two years at the Globe and Mail in various stints across the newsroom. She covered COVID-19 workplace outbreaks and labour issues for the national and investigative desks, provincial affairs for The Globe's Alberta Bureau, and investing, finance, and technology for the Report on Business. She has also reported on breaking news at the Toronto Star, and scrummed on the hill at CBC’s parliamentary bureau while chase producing for CBC’s Power & Politics. Before jumping into national newsrooms, Stefanie spent five years working in corporate and public affairs at a major bank and Ontario's northern development and mining ministry. She started her career as a bank teller. Stefanie’s roots are in journalism. She penned her first byline at her university student newspaper, where she covered university governance and finance as the news editor and led the paper as editor-in-chief.

Why did you become a journalist?

I've always been curious. As a child, I would wander into my neighbours' yards to ask endless questions. That curious kid eventually found a home in journalism, where she gets to ask questions for a living. As the banking reporter, I ask some of Canada's most influential decision-makers about how and why they make certain choices. They hold the keys to the nation's vault and oversee the flow of trillions of dollars. It's an immense privilege to hold these leaders to account, and produce stories that help all Canadians understand how the people in the highest echelons of power affect their daily lives.
