https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/12/staff-working-paper-2021-64/
Canada is undertaking a major initiative to modernize its payments ecosystem. The modernized ecosystem is expected to bring significant benefits to Canadian financial markets and the overall economy. We develop an empirical framework to quantify the economic benefits of modernizing the payment system in Canada.2021-12-17T16:20:19+00:00enQuantifying the Economic Benefits of Payments Modernization: the Case of the Large-Value Payment System2021-12-17Financial institutionsFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2021-64https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/swp2021-64.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-64Neville ArjaniFuchun LiZhentong LuDecember 2021CC3EE4E42GG1G2G28Monetary Policy Spillover to Small Open Economies: Is the Transmission Different under Low Interest Rates?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/11/staff-working-paper-2021-62/
Does the transmission of monetary policy change when interest rates are low or negative? We shed light on this question by analyzing the international bank lending channels of monetary policy using regulatory data on banks from four small open economies: Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic and Norway.2021-11-30T09:13:09+00:00enMonetary Policy Spillover to Small Open Economies: Is the Transmission Different under Low Interest Rates?2021-11-30Financial institutionsInternational topicsMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2021-62https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/swp2021-62.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-62Jin CaoValeriya DingerTomás GómezZuzana GricMartin HodulaAlejandro JaraRagnar JuelsrudKarolis LiaudinskasSimona MalovanáYaz TerajimaNovember 2021EE4E43E5E52E58FF3F34F4F42GG2G21G28The Countercyclical Capital Buffer and International Bank Lending: Evidence from Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/11/staff-working-paper-2021-61/
We examine the impact of the CCyB on foreign lending activities of Canadian banks. We show that the announcement of a tightening in another country’s CCyB leads to a decrease in the growth rate of cross-border lending between Canadian banks and borrowers in that other country.2021-11-29T11:21:19+00:00enThe Countercyclical Capital Buffer and International Bank Lending: Evidence from Canada2021-11-29Credit risk managementFinancial institutionsFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesInternational topicsStaff Working Paper 2021-61https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/swp2021-61.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-61David Xiao ChenChristian FriedrichNovember 2021EE3E32FF2F21F3F32GG2G21G28Democratic Political Economy of Financial Regulation

We update the Bank of Canada’s credit rating methodology for sovereigns, including our approach to assessing their fiscal position and monetary policy flexibility.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/05/staff-working-paper-2021-21/
Optimal coordination of monetary and macroprudential policies implies higher risk weights on (safe) bonds any time that banks are required to hold additional capital buffers. Coordination also implies a somewhat tighter monetary-policy stance whenever such capital buffers are released.2021-05-07T09:34:56+00:00enOptimal Monetary and Macroprudential Policies2021-05-07Credit and credit aggregatesFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesInflation targetsMonetary policyStaff Working Paper 2021-21https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/swp2021-21.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-21Josef SchrothMay 2021EE4E44E6E60GG2G21G28Update on housing market imbalances and household indebtedness
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/04/staff-analytical-note-2021-4/
Exceptional strength in the housing market during the pandemic is underpinning Canada’s economic recovery. However, two key vulnerabilities—housing market imbalances and elevated household indebtedness—have intensified.2021-04-09T10:00:47+00:00enUpdate on housing market imbalances and household indebtedness2021-04-09Market Concentration and Uniform Pricing: Evidence from Bank Mergers
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/02/staff-working-paper-2021-9/
We show that US banks price deposits almost uniformly across their branches and that this pricing practice is more important than increases in local market concentration in explaining the deposit rate dynamics following bank mergers.2021-02-16T11:09:14+00:00enMarket Concentration and Uniform Pricing: Evidence from Bank Mergers2021-02-16Financial institutionsFinancial system regulation and policiesMarket structure and pricingStaff Working Paper 2021-9https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/swp2021-9.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-9João GranjaNuno PaixaoFebruary 2021DD4GG2G20G21G28G3G34LL1L11
