Rapport sur la législation et la réglementation applicables aux institutions financières fédérales

Le Reporter (publié en anglais seulement) est un sommaire mensuel de l’évolution des législations et réglementations internationales et fédérales canadiennes qui sont pertinentes pour les institutions financières de régime fédéral au Canada. Il ne traite pas de l’évolution législative ou réglementaire des services financiers provinciaux, bien que BLG suive de près tout changement dans ce secteur et puisse, sur demande, fournir de l’information à ce sujet. De plus, les modifications de nature purement technique et administrative (comme celles qui sont apportées aux formulaires de rapport) ne sont pas traitées.

Governance arrangements for the unique product identifier ("UPI"): second consultation document

This consultation document sets out proposed governance arrangements for a global unique product identifier ("UPI") designed to facilitate effective aggregation of transaction reports about over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives markets.

The primary purpose of the UPI is to identify the product that is the subject of an OTC derivatives transaction. This would allow authorities to aggregate trade reporting data not only to consider institution-specific risks but also to consider system-wide risks.

Comments should be provided by May 28, 2018.

  1. The Bank Recapitalization (Bail-in) Conversion Regulations("Bail-in Conversion Regulations) set out the scope of liabilities of domestic systemically important banks that would be eligible for a bail-in conversion and conversion terms if a bail-in were to be executed.
  2. The Bank Recapitalization (Bail-in) Issuance Regulations("Bail-in Issuance Regulations) set out requirements that domestic systemically important banks would have to follow when issuing bail-in eligible instruments.
  3. The Compensation Regulations set out an updated process for providing compensation to shareholders and creditors of CDIC federal member institutions if they are made worse off as a result of CDIC’s actions to resolve the institution (including through bail-in) than they would have been if the institution were liquidated.

The Bail-in Conversion Regulations and the Bail-in Issuance Regulations apply only to systemically important banks; however, the Compensation Regulations apply to all CDIC federal member institutions.
