https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/03/staff-analytical-note-2024-4/
From the autumn of 2023 into early 2024, the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA), a measure of the cost of overnight general collateral Canadian dollar repos, was consistently well above the Bank’s target for the overnight rate. We find that, among several factors, long bond positions that require repo financing are the main driver of the recent upward pressure on CORRA.2024-03-21T09:35:25+00:00enWhat has been putting upward pressure on CORRA?2024-03-21Decomposing Large Banks’ Systemic Trading Losses
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/03/staff-working-paper-2024-6/
Do banks realize simultaneous trading losses because they invest in the same assets, or because different assets are subject to the same macro shocks? This paper decomposes the comovements of bank trading losses into two orthogonal channels: portfolio overlap and common shocks.2024-03-07T09:53:20+00:00enDecomposing Large Banks’ Systemic Trading Losses2024-03-07Financial institutionsFinancial stabilityStaff Working Paper 2024-6https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/swp2024-6.pdfDecomposing Large Banks’ Systemic Trading LossesRadoslav RaykovMarch 2024GG1G10G11G2G20Market structure of cryptoasset exchanges: Introduction, challenges and emerging trends
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/01/staff-analytical-note-2024-2/
This paper provides an overview of cryptoasset exchanges. We contrast their design with exchanges in traditional financial markets and discuss emerging regulatory trends and innovations aimed at solving the problems cryptoasset exchanges face.2024-01-30T13:56:10+00:00enMarket structure of cryptoasset exchanges: Introduction, challenges and emerging trends2024-01-30Mapping out the implications of climate transition risk for the financial system
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/01/mapping-out-the-implications-of-climate-transition-risk-for-the-financial-system/
We develop a new analytical framework to understand the system-wide implications of climate transition risk. When applying this framework to Canadian data, we find that interconnections within the financial sector could amplify the direct effects of climate transition risk on financial entities.2024-01-15T15:00:53+00:00enMapping out the implications of climate transition risk for the financial system2024-01-15Understanding the Systemic Implications of Climate Transition Risk: Applying a Framework Using Canadian Financial System Data
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-discussion-paper-2023-32/
Our study aims to gain insight on financial stability and climate transition risk. We develop a methodological framework that captures the direct effects of a stressful climate transition shock as well as the indirect—or systemic—implications of these direct effects. We apply this framework using data from the Canadian financial system.2023-12-20T14:44:11+00:00enUnderstanding the Systemic Implications of Climate Transition Risk: Applying a Framework Using Canadian Financial System Data2023-12-20Climate changeEconomic modelsFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsFinancial stabilityStaff Discussion Paper 2023-32https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sdp2023-32.pdfUnderstanding the Systemic Implications of Climate Transition Risk: Applying a Framework Using Canadian Financial System DataGabriel BruneauJavier Ojea FerreiroAndrew PlummerMarie-Christine TremblayAidan WittsDecember 2023CC6C63GG0G01G1G10G2G20QQ5Q54Finding the balance—measuring risks to inflation and to GDP growth

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-discussion-paper-2023-30/
Central banks’ actions to stabilize financial markets and implement monetary policy during crises may come with costs and side effects. We provide a literature review of these costs and discuss measures that may mitigate the negative impacts of crisis actions.2023-12-11T13:33:31+00:00enCentral Bank Crisis Interventions: A Review of the Recent Literature on Potential Costs2023-12-11Central bank researchFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsFinancial stabilityLender of last resortStaff Discussion Paper 2023-30https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sdp2023-30.pdfCentral Bank Crisis Interventions: A Review of the Recent Literature on Potential CostsPatrick AldridgeDavid CimonRishi ValaDecember 2023EE5E58GG1G10G2G20Decentralized finance: Innovations and challenges

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/10/staff-working-paper-2023-51/
We examine how intermediary capitalization affects asset prices in a framework that allows for intermediary market power. We introduce a model in which capital-constrained intermediaries buy or trade an asset in an imperfectly competitive market, and we show that weaker capital constraints lead to both higher prices and intermediary markups.2023-10-04T14:39:48+00:00enIntermediary Market Power and Capital Constraints2023-10-04Financial institutionsMarket structure and pricingStaff Working Paper 2023-51https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/swp2023-51.pdfStaff Working Paper 2023-51Jason AllenMilena WittwerOctober 2023DD4D40D44GG1G12G18G2G20LL1L10Forecasting Risks to the Canadian Economic Outlook at a Daily Frequency
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/09/staff-discussion-paper-2023-19/
This paper quantifies tail risks in the outlooks for Canadian inflation and real GDP growth by estimating their conditional distributions at a daily frequency. We show that the tail risk probabilities derived from the conditional distributions accurately reflect realized outcomes during the sample period from 2002 to 2022.2023-09-13T06:00:12+00:00enForecasting Risks to the Canadian Economic Outlook at a Daily Frequency2023-09-13Business fluctuations and cyclesEconometric and statistical methodsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-19https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/sdp2023-19.pdfForecasting Risks to the Canadian Economic Outlook at a Daily FrequencyChinara AzizovaBruno FeunouJames KyeongSeptember 2023CC3C32C5C58EE4E44GG1G17
