https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-analytical-note-2023-19/
We investigate how the increase in interest rates since early 2022 is affecting mortgage payments. By November 2023, less than half of mortgage holders had faced higher payments. Many borrowers will see a sizable increase in payments at renewal, although income growth could help mitigate the impact.2023-12-19T14:33:41+00:00enThe impact of higher interest rates on mortgage payments2023-12-19Variable-rate mortgages with fixed payments: Examining trigger rates
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/11/staff-analytical-notes-2022-19/
We estimate the share of variable-rate mortgages with fixed payments that reached the so-called trigger rateāthe interest rate at which mortgage payments no longer cover the principal. Amid rising interest rates, this share was close to 50% at the end of October 2022 and could potentially reach 65% in 2023.2022-11-22T11:43:13+00:00enVariable-rate mortgages with fixed payments: Examining trigger rates2022-11-22Resilience of bank liquidity ratios in the presence of a central bank digital currency

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 currency2022-05-09The Impact of Recent Policy Changes on the Canadian Mortgage Market

Recent policy changes are having a clear impact on the mortgage market.

Following changes to housing finance policies that target insured mortgages, uninsured mortgage credit has been growing. This robust growth creates a larger pool of mortgages that may be suitable for private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).2018-07-18T09:35:29+00:00enThe Characteristics of Uninsured Mortgages and their Securitization Potential2018-07-18
