https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/02/staff-analytical-note-2023-2/
Offline functionality is a key consideration for a potential CBDC. We describe the different types of offline functionality based on their duration outside of network connection—either intermittent (for short periods) or extended (for longer periods). We discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each and consider implications for end-user devices, system resilience and universal accessibility.2023-02-24T10:51:26+00:00enA central bank digital currency for offline payments2023-02-24Archetypes for a retail CBDC
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/10/staff-analytical-note-2022-14/
A variety of technology designs could support retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) systems. We develop five archetypes of CBDC systems, outline their characteristics and discuss their trade-offs. This work serves as a framework to analyze and compare different designs, independent of vendor, platform and implementation.2022-10-05T12:15:01+00:00enArchetypes for a retail CBDC2022-10-05How 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?2022-09-22Financial 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 2022EE3E32E4E44E5E51GG0G01G1G12G2G21G23G24G3G32Behaviour in the Canadian large-value payment system: COVID-19 vs. the global financial crisis
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/05/staff-analytical-note-2021-7/
Unlike the 2008–09 global financial crisis, the onset of the COVID-19 crisis did not raise stress levels in Canada’s Large Value Transfer System. Swift changes to the Bank of Canada’s collateral policy and its large-scale asset purchase programs likely eased liquidity pressures in the system.2021-05-06T15:09:44+00:00enBehaviour in the Canadian large-value payment system: COVID-19 vs. the global financial crisis2021-05-06Eggs in One Basket: Security and Convenience of Digital Currencies

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/08/staff-working-paper-2020-33/
Using the Bank of Canada's Currency Information Management Strategy, we analyze the network structure traced by a bank note’s travel in circulation and find that the denomination of the bank note is important in our potential understanding of the demand and use of cash.2020-08-19T08:55:16+00:00enSurvival Analysis of Bank Note Circulation: Fitness, Network Structure and Machine Learning2020-08-19Bank notesEconometric and statistical methodsPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2020-33https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/swp2020-33.pdfStaff Working Paper 2020-33Diego RojasJuan EstradaKim HuynhDavid T.

Security is an important element in ensuring public confidence in a central bank digital currency (CBDC). This note highlights the required security properties of a CBDC system and the challenges encountered with existing solutions, should the Bank of Canada choose to issue one.2020-06-24T14:01:23+00:00enSecurity of a CBDC2020-06-24Privacy in CBDC technology

Privacy is a key aspect of a potential central bank digital currency system. We outline different technical choices to enact various privacy models while complying with the appropriate regulations. We develop a framework to evaluate privacy models and list key risks and trade-offs in privacy design.2020-06-19T10:00:47+00:00enPrivacy in CBDC technology2020-06-19Technology Approach for a CBDC
