TORONTO, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) has injected about $2.95 billion into its U.S. unit City National Bank (CNB) so far this year to bolster its capital, making one of the biggest annual infusions of funds since acquiring the Los Angeles-based bank in 2015...

City National disclosed the numbers in a regulatory report in the United States late on Monday, which also showed that it posted a net loss attributable to the bank of $1.59 billion for the first three quarters of the year...

RBC, Canada's top lender, said in September that it had infused fresh capital into City National, without elaborating, as it struggled amid the U.S. regional banking crisis...

"The necessity of RBC's intervention is a negative read-through, highlighting CNB's struggles to navigate through a tough operating environment," KBW analyst Mike Rizvanovic said.. Rizvanovic estimates roughly $7 billion of low-yielding debt securities were transferred from City National to RBC, and he said the return on invested capital should "improve meaningfully" following the move...

RBC CEO Dave McKay has previously acknowledged that a higher cost of doing business was reducing the profitability of U.S. regional banks and said in August that City National was "not immune to these factors."..
