https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/12/staff-discussion-paper-2017-17/
At the Pittsburgh Summit in 2009, G20 countries announced their commitment to clear all standardized over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives through central counterparties (CCPs). Since then, CCPs have become increasingly important and there has been an extensive program of regulatory enhancements to both them and OTC derivatives markets.2017-12-20T10:00:47+00:00enWho Pays?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/12/staff-working-paper-2017-59/
The present paper shows that, everything else equal, some transactions to transfer portfolio credit risk to third-party investors increase the insolvency risk of banks. This is particularly likely if a bank sells the senior tranche and retains a sufficiently large first-loss position.2017-12-19T14:37:59+00:00enCredit Risk Transfer and Bank Insolvency Risk2017-12-19Credit risk managementFinancial institutionsFinancial stabilityStaff Working Paper 2017-59https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/swp2017-59.pdfCredit Risk Transfer and Bank Insolvency RiskMaarten van OordtDecember 2017GG2G21G28G3G32Shoring Up the Foundations for a More Resilient Banking System: The Development of Basel III
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/fsr-november2017-gomes.pdf
The authors trace the development of the Basel III standards for banking regulation. Basel III builds on two earlier frameworks, in response to weaknesses revealed during the global financial crisis. They highlight how implementation of the standards will underpin greater financial stability and provide a sound foundation for economic growth.2017-11-28T08:09:18+00:00enShoring Up the Foundations for a More Resilient Banking System: The Development of Basel III2017-11-28Analysis of Household Vulnerabilities Using Loan-Level Mortgage Data

This report examines detailed data on home mortgages to provide a better understanding of the vulnerabilities associated with the mortgage market. The proportion of low-ratio mortgages is growing, particularly in regions with strong house price growth. Moreover, these borrowers exhibit less flexibility to adverse shocks, since they have high debt levels relative to income and have taken mortgages with long amortization periods.2017-11-28T07:59:51+00:00enAnalysis of Household Vulnerabilities Using Loan-Level Mortgage Data2017-11-28The MacroFinancial Risk Assessment Framework (MFRAF), Version 2.0

This report provides a detailed technical description of the updated MacroFinancial Risk Assessment Framework (MFRAF), which replaces the version described in Gauthier, Souissi and Liu (2014) as the Bank of Canada’s stress-testing model for banks with a focus on domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs).2017-09-14T11:59:57+00:00enThe MacroFinancial Risk Assessment Framework (MFRAF), Version 2.02017-09-14Financial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesTechnical Report No. 111https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/tr111.pdfThe MacroFinancial Risk Assessment Framework (MFRAF), Version 2.0Jose FiqueSeptember 2017CC7C72EE5E58GG0G01G2G21G28The Rise of Non-Regulated Financial Intermediaries in the Housing Sector and its Macroeconomic Implications
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/09/staff-working-paper-2017-36/
I examine the impact of non-regulated lenders in the mortgage market using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. My model features two types of financial intermediaries that differ in three ways: (i) only regulated intermediaries face a capital requirement, (ii) non-regulated intermediaries finance themselves by selling securities and cannot accept deposits, and (iii) non-regulated intermediaries face a more elastic demand.2017-09-14T10:26:31+00:00enThe Rise of Non-Regulated Financial Intermediaries in the Housing Sector and its Macroeconomic Implications2017-09-14Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsFinancial system regulation and policiesHousingStaff Working Paper 2017-36https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/swp2017-36.pdfThe Rise of Non-Regulated Financial Intermediaries in the Housing Sector and its Macroeconomic ImplicationsHélène DesgagnésSeptember 2017EE3E32E4E44E47E6E60GG2G21G23G28Project Jasper: Are Distributed Wholesale Payment Systems Feasible Yet?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/fsr-june-2017-chapman.pdf
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

The Big Six Canadian banks are a dominant component of the Canadian financial system. How they finance their business activities is fundamental to how effective they are. 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
