https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/11/staff-discussion-paper-2022-20/
What risks could stablecoins pose to the financial system? We argue that the stabilization mechanisms of stablecoins give rise to the risk of confidence runs, which can propagate to broader cryptoasset markets and the traditional financial sector. We also argue that stablecoins can contribute to financial stability risks by facilitating the buildup of leverage and liquidity mismatch in decentralized finance. Such risks cannot be addressed by ensuring the price stability of stablecoins alone. Finally, we explore the potential implications of stablecoins for the current system of bank-intermediated credit and for monetary policy.2022-11-28T14:39:47+00:00frStablecoins and Their Risks to Financial Stability2022-11-28Digital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesStaff Discussion Paper 2022-20https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/sdp2022-20.pdfStaff Discussion Paper 2022-20Cameron MacDonaldLaura ZhaoNovember 2022EE4E42E44E5E58GG2G23Considerations for the allocation of non-default losses by financial market infrastructures
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/11/staff-analytical-note-2022-16/
Non-default losses of financial market infrastructures (FMIs) have gained attention due to their potential impacts on FMIs and FMI participants, and the lack of a common approach to address them. A key question is, who should absorb these losses?2022-11-03T12:32:09+00:00enConsiderations for the allocation of non-default losses by financial market infrastructures2022-11-03How does the Bank of Canada’s balance sheet impact the banking system?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/09/staff-analytical-note-2022-12/
We examine how changes in the Bank of Canada’s balance sheet impact the banking system. Quantitative easing contributed to an increase in the size of the banking system’s balance sheet and an improvement in bank liquidity coverage ratios. Quantitative tightening is expected to partially reverse these impacts. The banking system will have to adjust its liquidity management strategy in response.2022-09-22T10:00:41+00:00enHow does the Bank of Canada’s balance sheet impact the banking system?2022-09-22Cyber Risk and Security Investment

We develop a principal-agent model of cyber-attacking with fee-paying clients who delegate security decisions to financial platforms. We derive testable implications about clients’ vulnerability to cyber attacks and about the fees charged.2022-07-14T12:03:41+00:00enCyber Risk and Security Investment2022-07-14Economic modelsFinancial servicesFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2022-32https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/swp2022-32.pdfCyber Security and Ransomware in Financial MarketsToni AhnertMichael BrolleyDavid CimonRyan RiordanJuly 2022DD7D78D8D81GG1G18G2G21G23Unregulated Lending, Mortgage Regulations and Monetary Policy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/06/staff-working-paper-2022-28/
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of macroprudential policies when regulations are uneven across mortgage lender types. We look at credit tightening that results from macroprudential regulations and examine how much of it is counteracted by credit shifting to unregulated lenders. We also study the impact of monetary policy tightening when some lenders are unregulated.2022-06-27T10:05:32+00:00enUnregulated Lending, Mortgage Regulations and Monetary Policy2022-06-27Financial institutionsFinancial system regulation and policiesMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2022-28https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/swp2022-28.pdfStaff Working Paper 2022-28Ugochi EmenoguBrian PetersonJune 2022EE4E44E5E50E52E58GG2G21G23G28How well can large banks in Canada withstand a severe economic downturn?
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 2022EE3E32E4E44E5E51GG0G01G1G12G2G21G23G24G3G32
