This report describes a joint endeavour between public and private sectors to explore a wholesale payment system based on distributed ledger technology (DLT). They find that a stand-alone DLT system is unlikely to be as beneficial as a centralized payment system in terms of core operating costs; however, it could increase financial system efficiency as a result of integration with the broader financial market infrastructure.2017-05-25T14:30:26+00:00enProject Jasper: Are Distributed Wholesale Payment Systems Feasible Yet?2017-05-25Methodology for Assigning Credit Ratings to Sovereigns

Data on the use of government securities in the repo, securities lending and cash markets suggest there are bond market clienteles in Canada. Shorter-term bonds are more prevalent in the repo market, while longer-maturity securities are more active in the securities lending market—consistent with the preferred habitat hypothesis. These results could help design better debt-management strategies and more-effective policies to maintain well-functioning financial markets.2017-05-11T10:28:08+00:00enThe Life Cycle of Government of Canada Bonds in Core Funding Markets2017-05-11Wholesale Funding of the Big Six Canadian Banks

Retail and commercial deposits along with wholesale funding represent the two major sources of funds for Canadian banks. What wholesale funding instruments do the Big Six banks use? How do they choose between different funding sources, funding strategies and why? How have banks changed their funding mix since the 2007–09 global financial crisis?2017-05-11T10:27:11+00:00enWholesale Funding of the Big Six Canadian Banks2017-05-11
