External Governance banking data Work closely with tri- agency partners and Sta/s/cs Canada Collabora/on with interna/onal agency partners (eg: BIS, IMF) Internal priori/es considered alongside external requirements Ensure requirements are aligned and that defini/ons and concepts are consistently applied Allow for joint priori/za/on of requests Jointly present final requests to financial ins/tu/ons Allow for discussion with banks (feasibility, quality concerns) Confiden/ality seangs applied for interna/onal submissions 8
Current Environment Balancing Priori/es Domes/c data requirements Internal data gaps Emerging policy needs Interna/onal ini/a/ves G- 20 data gaps ini/a/ve FSAP exercise recommenda/ons Basel III requirements 9
Current Environment Addressing Data Gaps Shared responsibility (StatCan/BoC/OSFI/Finance) Enhancements developed in consulta/on with tri- agency partners and in alignment with exis/ng frameworks Mul/ple interna/onal requirements priori/zed with internal analy/cal requirements in mind Canada represented on many interna/onal working groups, and historical contributors to most interna/onal programs Canada is/will be largely in a posi/on to meet data gaps where a conceptual/sta/s/cal framework exists 10
Interna/onal Banking Sta/s/cs Example incorpora/ng interna/onal requirements, Canadian requirements and BoC- specific requirements Informa/on on geographical distribu/on of assets and liabili/es Enhancements provide greater counterparty sector and maturity details /ed to G- 20 data gaps ini/a/ves 11
Interbank and Major Exposures Return Requirement to build an understanding of the inter- linkages within the financial system and evaluate the resul/ng systemic risk Concentra/on risk Spillover risk Feed into Bank s macro- financial risk assessment framework Enhancements to interna/onal banking sta/s/cs complements this internal ini/a/ve 12
Challenges Large scale mul/- dimensional returns (exposures broken down by assets class, maturity, currency, etc.) Systems upgrades (both internally and within banks) to address evolving data demands, both in type and volume Adequate subject maier knowledge and tradi/onal quality analysis techniques 13
Bank of Canada Response to Challenges Improved internal governance and priori/za/on of data requirements Increased collabora/on among tri- agencies, with na/onal sta/s/cal agency, and with repor/ng banks Broadened network with other central banks and sta/s/cal agencies Developing new data collec/on system which meets evolving data demands/func/onal requirements New staffing mix within the Data and Sta/s/cs Office, new posi/ons, focus on training 14
Opportuni/es for Further Improvement Closer /es and increased data sharing between the tri- agencies, Sta/s/cs Canada and CMHC Greater usage of risk- based Basel capital adequacy repor/ng data to supplement balance sheet/sta/s/cal data Tri- agency working group focused on data ra/onaliza/on Revised regulatory data planning cycle more frequent communica/on and earlier iden/fica/on of key requirements 15
