https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-analytical-note-2022-6/
We examine the potential impacts of a severe economic shock on the resilience of major banks in Canada. We find these banks would suffer significant financial losses but nevertheless remain resilient. This underscores the role well-capitalized banks and sound underwriting practices play in supporting economic activity in a downturn.2022-05-24T15:00:17+00:00enHow well can large banks in Canada withstand a severe economic downturn?2022-05-24Financial Intermediaries and the Macroeconomy: Evidence from a High-Frequency Identification
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-working-paper-2022-24/
We provide empirical evidence of effects to the aggregate economy from surprises about financial intermediaries’ net worth based on a high-frequency identification strategy. We estimate that news of a 1% decline in intermediaries’ net worth leads to a 0.2%–0.4% decrease in the market value of nonfinancial firms.2022-05-20T15:46:50+00:00enFinancial Intermediaries and the Macroeconomy: Evidence from a High-Frequency Identification2022-05-20Asset pricingBusiness fluctuations and cyclesCredit and credit aggregatesFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsFinancial system regulation and policiesMonetary and financial indicatorsStaff Working Paper 2022-24https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/swp2022-24.pdfStaff Working Paper 2022-24Pablo OttonelloWenting SongMay 2022EE3E32E4E44E5E51GG0G01G1G12G2G21G23G24G3G32Transmission of Cyber Risk Through the Canadian Wholesale Payment System
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-working-paper-2022-23/
This paper studies how the impact of a cyber attack that paralyzes one or multiple banks' ability to send payments would transmit to other banks through the Canadian wholesale payment system. Based on historical payment data, we simulate a wide range of scenarios and evaluate the total payment disruption in the system.2022-05-16T11:11:07+00:00enTransmission of Cyber Risk Through the Canadian Wholesale Payment System2022-05-16Financial institutionsFinancial stabilityPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2022-23https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/swp2022-23.pdfAnneke KosseZhentong LuMay 2022CC4C49EE4E42E47GG2G21Resilience of bank liquidity ratios in the presence of a central bank digital currency
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-analytical-note-2022-5/
Could Canadian banks continue to meet their regulatory liquidity requirements after the introduction of a cash-like retail central bank digital currency (CBDC)? We conduct a hypothetical exercise to estimate how a CBDC could affect bank liquidity by increasing the run-off rates of transactional retail deposits under four increasingly severe scenarios.2022-05-09T11:00:50+00:00enResilience of bank liquidity ratios in the presence of a central bank digital currency2022-05-09Identifying Financially Remote First Nations Reserves

Chen et al. (2021) show that almost one-third of First Nations band offices in Canada are within 1 kilometre (km) of an automated banking machine (ABM) or financial institution (FI) branch and more than half are within 5 km.2022-05-03T13:16:11+00:00enIdentifying Financially Remote First Nations Reserves2022-05-03Bank notesDigital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial servicesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Discussion Paper 2022-11https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/sdp2022-11.pdfIdentifying Financially Remote First Nations ReservesHeng ChenWalter EngertKim HuynhDaneal O’HabibMay 2022EE4E41E42E5GG2G21Asymmetric Systemic Risk
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-working-paper-2022-19/
Bank regulation presumes risks spill over more easily from large banks to the banking system than vice versa. Interestingly, we observe this is not the case. We find that the capacity to transmit risk is larger in the system-to-bank direction, leading to an increased default risk.2022-05-02T15:43:14+00:00enAsymmetric Systemic Risk2022-05-02Financial institutionsFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesStaff Working Paper 2022-19https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/swp2022-19.pdfStaff Working Paper 2022-19Radoslav RaykovConsuelo Silva-BustonMay 2022GG1G10G2G20
