The authors document leverage, capital and liquidity ratios of banks in Canada. These ratios are important indicators of different types of risk with respect to a bank’s balance‐sheet management. Particular attention is given to the observations by different types of banks, including small banks that historically received less attention.2012-09-28T13:48:38+00:00enCanadian Bank Balance-Sheet Management: Breakdown by Types of Canadian Financial Institutions2012-09-28Financial institutionsFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesDiscussion Paper 2012-7https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/dp2012-07.pdfCanadian Bank Balance-Sheet Management: Breakdown by Types of Canadian Financial InstitutionsDavid Xiao ChenH.

This article examines four indicators of balance-sheet risks—leverage, capital, asset liquidity and funding—among different types of financial institutions in Canada over the past three decades. It also discusses relevant developments in the banking sector that could have contributed to the observed dynamics. The authors find that the various risk indicators decreased during the period for most of the non-Big Six financial institutions, but remained relatively unchanged for the Big Six banks. In addition, the balance-sheet risk indicators became more heterogeneous across financial institutions. The observed overall decline and increased heterogeneity follow certain regulatory changes, such as the introduction of the liquidity guidelines on funding in 1995 and the implementation of bank-specific leverage requirements in 2000. Given that these regulations required more balance-sheet risk management, they have likely contributed to the increased resilience of the banking sector.2012-08-16T08:39:22+00:00enAn Analysis of Indicators of Balance-Sheet Risks at Canadian Financial Institutions2012-08-16The Ex-Ante Versus Ex-Post Effect of Public Guarantees

In October 2006, Dominion Bond Rating Service (DBRS) introduced new ratings for banks that account for the potential of government support. The rating changes are not a reflection of any changes in the respective banks’ credit fundamentals.2012-07-27T12:18:19+00:00enThe Ex-Ante Versus Ex-Post Effect of Public Guarantees2012-07-27Financial institutionsFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesWorking Paper 2012-22https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wp2012-22.pdfThe Ex-Ante Versus Ex-Post Effect of Public GuaranteesH.

We analyze the relationship between the intensity of banks’ use of soft-information and household bankruptcy patterns. Using a unique data set on the universe of Canadian household bankruptcies, we document that bankruptcy rates are higher in markets where the collection of soft, or qualitative locally gathered information, is the weakest.2012-07-20T09:14:02+00:00frConsumer Bankruptcy and Information2012-07-20Financial institutionsFinancial servicesWorking Paper 2012-18https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wp2012-18.pdfConsumer Bankruptcy and InformationJason AllenH.

With increasing levels of household debt in recent years, the number of households that may be vulnerable to a negative economic shock is rising as well. Decisions made by both the debtor and the creditor can contribute to insolvency. This article presents some stylized facts about insolvency in Canada’s household sector and analyzes the role of creditors in insolvencies. The average debt of an individual filing for bankruptcy is more than 1.5 times that of an average Canadian household; bankruptcy filers tend to be unemployed or in low-wage jobs, and are typically renters. The article reports that banks that approve more loans per branch, which is interpreted as less-intensive use of soft information (such as the loan officer’s assessment of the applicant’s character), experience more client bankruptcies. This finding has important policy implications, because financial institutions that do not use soft information risk further deterioration in their lending portfolios.2012-02-23T10:00:21+00:00enHousehold Insolvency in Canada2012-02-23
