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 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 CDIC will consider in classifying members into categories, establishing the procedures 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 has amended the Differential Premiums 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, 2006, December 6, 2006, December 3, 2008, and December 2, 2009.
Pursuant to recent amendments to the CDIC Act, CDIC will require member institutions to implement methods of identifying, capturing, organizing and producing deposit liability data, including certain functionality with respect to limiting and resuming access to deposit liabilities. The requirements are contained in the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Data and System Requirements By-law (Data Requirements By-law) that was made by the CDIC Board of Directors on December 8, 2010. The Data Requirements must be in place no later than June 30, 2013. The By-law Amending the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Differential Premiums By-law (Amending By-law), also made by the CDIC Board of Directors on December 8, 2010, introduces a premium reduction for those member institutions that implement the requirements of the Data Requirements By-law on or before June 30, 2012. The Amending By-law also provides that after June 30, 2013, where a member institution is not in compliance with the Data Requirements By-law, the member will be classified in a worse category under the Differential Premiums By-law. Members already in the worst category will not be affected.
In addition, CDIC annually reviews the Differential Premiums By-law to ensure that it remains up-to-date. As a result of the review, technical amendments needed to be made to Schedule 2 Part 2 Reporting Form (Reporting Form) to reflect changes to regulatory forms. The changes are reflected in the Amending By-law.
The following table provides more detail about the amendments and highlights the differences between the Amending By-law and the proposed Amending By-law pre-published on October 16, 2010, in the Canada Gazette, Part I:
|
AMENDING BY-LAW SECTION(S) |
EXPLANATION |
|---|---|
|
By-law |
|
|
1 |
Substantive: Adds definition for “Data and System Requirements By-law”. |
|
2 |
Substantive: Adds new Section 4.1. This section alters the formula for calculation of premiums payable such that the premiums in 2012 are reduced by 1.5 basis points of insured deposits if the institution implements the data requirements by June 30, 2012. [Change from pre-publication: Date extended from April 30 to June 30.] |
|
3 |
Substantive: Adds new subsection 7(3) to clarify that new member institutions will be classified in a worse category if they do not implement the data requirements within 18 months of becoming a member institution. [Change from pre-publication: This is a new provision.] |
|
4 |
Substantive: Adds new sections 8.1 and 8.2. Section 8.1 puts in place the general rule that after June 30, 2013, if a member is not in compliance with the Data and System Requirements By-law, its classification will be altered to a worse category (e.g. otherwise category 1 will be classified in category 2). If the member is in non-compliance with the Data and System Requirements By-law for two consecutive years after 2013, it will be reclassified by two categories (otherwise category 1 will be classified in category 3). The same approach is used for three or more consecutive years of non-compliance. For those members already classified in category 4 (the worst category), there is no impact. Section 8.2 applies the same process of classification as section 8.1 but deems non-compliance with the Data and System Requirements By-law as of June 30, 2013 as non-compliance for purposes of the 2013 premium year classification. [Change from pre-publication: the name of the Data and System Requirements By-law was changed throughout, and new member institutions were excluded from the application of sections 8.1 and 8.2 since the new section 7(3) addresses new member reclassification.] |
|
5 |
Technical: Amends subsection 14(2) by replacing the word “Where” with “If” and the word “practicable” with the word “feasible”. Substantive: Adds new subsection 14(3). In the event that information comes to the attention of CDIC that permits it to conclude that the certification that the member is compliant with the Data and System Requirements By-law is incorrect, the new subsection permits CDIC to reverse the premium reduction permitted under the new section 4.1. |
|
6 |
Substantive: Amends section 17 to clarify that each member institution (i.e. parent and subsidiary) can certify as to compliance with the Data and System Requirements By-law in the Reporting Form, not only the member institution required to file the Reporting Form (i.e. parent). [Change from pre-publication: This is a new provision.] |
|
Schedule 2, Part 2, REPORTING FORM |
|
|
7 |
Technical: Element 6.3 of Item Net Impaired Assets.
|
|
8 |
Technical: Table 6A of item 6, English version only:
|
|
9 |
Technical: Elements of Item 7 Three-Year Moving Average Asset Growth (%).
|
|
10 |
Technical: Paragraphs (a) and (b) under the heading “Real Estate Under Power of Sale or Foreclosed Properties” in Item 8 Real Estate Asset Concentration.
|
|
11 |
Substantive: introduces a separate certification by an authorized signing officer of the member institution with respect to the implementation of the Data and System Requirements By-law. |
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
Consultation has been extensive over the last year with member institutions and the Canadian Bankers Association with respect to the introduction of the Data and System Requirements By-law. The substantive changes being made to the Differential Premiums By-law relate directly to that consultative process, including the reduction in premiums for early implementation on or before June 30, 2012. Member institutions were notified directly about the proposed changes to the Differential Premiums By-law. Pre-publication took place on October 16, 2010, providing for a 30-day comment period. This was the final consultative step being taken. The change made to extend the early implementation period to June 30, 2012 from April 30, 2012 to benefit from a premium reduction was in response to comments received. No other changes were deemed necessary as a result of the comments received. With respect to the changes that are technical in nature, only consultation through pre-publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I, was necessary and no comments were received with respect to the technical changes.
Compliance and enforcement
There are no compliance or enforcement issues other than members will be required to annually report to CDIC compliance with the Data and System Requirements By-law.
