OSFI’s Implementation Timeline for the Net Stable Funding Ratio("NSFR")

Based on implementation progress at the international level, OSFI has determined that it will target a revised NSFR implementation date for Canadian deposit-taking institutions.

Relevant areas of the Liquidity Adequacy Requirements ("LAR") Guideline have been updated to reflect the domestic NSFR implementation delay. Until OSFI begins its public consultation process on the NSFR rules and issues a draft guideline for comment, the LAR Guideline will continue to contain placeholder text reflecting OSFI’s commitment to implement the NSFR standard in Canada.

Effective January 2020.
