REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the By-law.)

Description

The Board of Directors of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) made the Differential Premiums By-law (the “By-law”) on March 3, 1999, pursuant to subsection 21(2) and paragraph 11(2)(g) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (“CDIC Act”). Subsection 21(2) of the CDIC Act authorizes the CDIC Board of Directors to make by-laws establishing a system of classifying member institutions into different categories, setting out the criteria or factors the CDIC will consider in classifying members into categories, establishing the procedures the CDIC will follow in classifying members, and fixing the amount of, or providing a manner of determining the amount of, the annual premium applicable to each category. The CDIC Board of Directors amended the By-law on January 12 and December 6, 2000, July 26, 2001, March 7, 2002, March 3, 2004, February 9 and April 15, 2005, February 8 and December 6, 2006, December 3, 2008, December 2, 2009, December 8, 2010, December 7, 2011, and December 5, 2012.

The CDIC annually reviews the By-law to ensure that it remains up to date. As a result of the review, it was noted that technical amendments need to be made to section 4.1 and to Schedule 2, Part 2, Reporting Form (Reporting Form), of the By-law to reflect changes to regulatory forms and required capital ratios. The changes are reflected in the proposed By-law Amending the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Differential Premiums By-law (“Amending By-law”).

The following table provides more detail about the amendments, which are all technical in nature.

AMENDING BY-LAW SECTION(S) EXPLANATION
By-law
1 Section 4.1 and title — repealed. Refers to a one-time insurance premium adjustment that was only available for the 2012 premium year.
Schedule 2, Part 2, Reporting Form
2 Referencing item 1 — Capital Adequacy Measures:
  • Subsection 2(1): Formula needs to be amended. The Basel III Capital Adequacy Reporting — Credit, Market and Operational Risk (BCAR) now refers to “Total Capital for Purposes of ACM (capital on transitional basis)” and no longer to “Total Adjusted Net Tier 1 and Adjusted Tier 2 Capital.”
  • Subsection 2(2): Element 1.1.1 needs to be amended to reflect a line item reference change and element 1.1.2 needs to be amended to reflect both the BCAR change noted above for subsection 2(1) and a line item change.
  • Subsection 2(3) amends the title to Net Tier 1 Capital to reflect the current wording in the BCAR form.
  • Subsection 2(4) amends elements 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 to reflect both changes to line item references and to the description of Net Tier 1 Capital as set out in the BCAR form.
  • Subsection 2(5) amends element 1.3.1 to reflect line item reference changes in the BCAR form.
  • Subsection 2(6) amends Range of Results to incorporate the regulatory requirements for both the Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio that came into effect in January of 2013.
3 Referencing item 6 — Net Impaired Assets (including net unrealized losses on securities) to Total Capital
  • Subsection 3(1) regarding element 6.2: change of title to read “Individual allowance for impairment” to reflect International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) terminology change.
  • Subsections 3(2) and (6) regarding heading of Table 6A and Table 6B: Amended to include current title of the Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) 2013Guideline.
  • Subsection 3(3) regarding Table 6A column heading changed to read “Individual allowance for impairment” reflecting IFRS terminology change.
  • Subsections 3(4) and (5) regarding Table 6A — reference to Undrawn commitments is expanded to take into account both the credit conversion factors for the standardized approach as well as the Advanced IRB Approach if utilized.
4 Referencing item 7 — Three-Year Moving Average Asset Growth
  • Since this element uses four years of asset data, subsections 4(1), (2) and (3) modify the item to incorporate the most recent four years of data and cross reference to the applicable BCAR form line items for those years.
5 Referencing item 8 — Real Estate Asset Concentration
  • Element 8.1 amended to exclude from the concentration measure those residential mortgages that are NHA MBS pooled and unsold.
6 Repeals the certification as to compliance with the Data System Requirements By-law, which certification is now included in the Return of Insured Deposits.
7 The title of the form “Basel II Capital Adequacy Reporting — Credit, Market and Operational Risk (BCAR)” throughout the Reporting Form is changed to “Basel III Capital Adequacy Reporting — Credit, Market and Operational Risk (BCAR).”
8 Amending By-law comes into force on registration.

Alternatives

There are no available alternatives. The CDIC Act specifically provides that the criteria or factors to be taken into account in determining the category in which a member institution is classified and fixing or establishing the method of determining the amount of the annual premium applicable to each category may only be made by by-law.

Benefits and costs

No additional costs should be attributed directly to these changes.

Consultation

Member institutions have been advised directly to expect these technical changes. As the changes are technical in nature, only consultation through prepublication in Part Ⅰ of the Canada Gazette is necessary.

Compliance and enforcement
