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 (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, December 5, 2012, and December 4, 2013.

In addition to an annual review of this By-law to confirm that it is technically up to date, the CDIC has undertaken a comprehensive review of the By-law to ensure that the differential premiums system in its entirety is up to date, is relevant and supports the achievement of CDIC’s objects. As a result of the review, both substantive changes as well as technical amendments need to be made.

A number of the substantive changes are necessary to capture changes in the regulatory environment, such as the introduction of new capital adequacy guidelines and the designation of some member institutions as domestic systemically important banks (DSIBs) to which a new measure — Asset Encumbrance — will be applied.

A further substantive change is being made to the percentage of the maximum premium rate to be paid by member institutions assigned to the various categories. The change ensures that premium rate increases announced by the CDIC in its corporate plan do not breach the maximum premium rate chargeable under the CDIC Act.

Many of the technical amendments are being made to limit the necessity of future annual technical amendments to the By-law. In particular, the exact location by line reference to a data source is being changed to a textual description of the data source. In future, when the location of the line changes without any change to the data or its description, an amendment to the By-law will no longer be necessary.

Both the technical and substantive changes are reflected in the By-law Amending the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Differential Premiums By-law (Amending By-law). The following table provides more detail about the amendments:

AMENDING BY-LAW SECTION BY-LAW SECTION EXPLANATION
    By-law
1 1

Technical

Introduces two new definitions. The first defines "domestic systemically important bank" and the second introduces "guidelines for member institutions" as a way to more easily refer to "Guidelines for Banks or Guidelines for Trust and Loan Companies."

2 and 3 3(b) and 4(1)

Technical

As a result of amendments to Schedule 1 to the By-law, it is necessary to introduce a reference to the applicable premium year in each of the formulae.

4, 5, 7 and 8  

Technical

Paragraph 15(1)(d) has been repealed. As a result, all references to "paragraphs 15(1)(c) to (e)" are being replaced by references to "paragraphs 15(1)(c) and (e)." These references occur in 6(1)(a), 6(1)(b), 12(1), 15(1)(c), 15(1)(f), 15(2), 15(4)(a), 15(4)(b), 16(1) and 16(2).

6 14(3)

Technical

Subsection 14(3) is repealed. It related to an adjusted formula (since repealed) that was only in effect for the 2012 premium year.

7(1) 15(1)(c) and (d)

Technical

The new paragraph 15(1)(c) combines the current paragraphs 15(1)(c) and (d) into one paragraph confirming that the same capital adequacy reporting documentation must be filed by all members, whether provincial or federal. This is the section that repeals paragraph 15(1)(d).

7(2) 15(1)(e)(i) to (vi)

Technical

References to "tabs" in the Reporting Manual are removed, as the Reporting Manual no longer contains tabs.

Substantive

Introduces the requirement to submit the Pledging and REPOS report.

7(5) 15(3)

Technical

Updates financial statement reporting standards from GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

9 17

Technical

Since the certification to which this section refers has been repealed, this section no longer refers to it.

10 21

Substantive

This section refers to the revised assignment of a score with respect to the Capital Adequacy factor, which has been significantly changed — see section 15 of the Amending By-law below.

11 25

Substantive

This amendment confirms that the factor titled Real Estate Asset Concentration applies to all members except domestic systemically important banks.

12 New 25.1

Substantive

This amendment introduces a factor titled Asset Encumbrance, which applies only to domestic systemically important banks.

    Schedule 1, Premium Categories
13 Schedule 1

Substantive

In its corporate plan, the CDIC proposes increases to the premium rates of approximately 1 basis point per year over a five-year period charged to the member institutions classified in the best-rated category. In order to introduce these increases, changes needed to be made to the percentage of the maximum premium rate to be paid for each premium year by member institutions assigned to the various categories to ensure that the premium rate increases do not breach the maximum premium rate chargeable under the CDIC Act, i.e. 33 basis points. The amendment sets the percentage of the maximum rate to be charged to institutions classified in each of the four categories for each of the next four years and thereafter. [The maximum rate in effect each year is set pursuant to subsection 21(4) of the CDIC Act but cannot exceed 33 basis points.]

    Schedule 2, Part 1, Interpretation
14  

Technical

Applies the same guidelines to federal credit unions as are applied to banks.

    Schedule 2, Part 2, Reporting Form
15 Item 1

Substantive

The Capital Adequacy Measure is replaced with a two-prong test. The first component is a Leverage Ratio. An institution will obtain full marks for this component if its Assets to Capital Multiple (ACM) is at no more than 90% of its authorized ACM. The second prong is a Capital Ratio. An institution will obtain full marks if its Tier 1 capital ratio is greater than its "all in" capital target Tier 1 capital ratio set by the regulator (including, as applicable, any capital conservation buffer or domestic systemically important bank surcharge).

16 Item 2

Technical

The Return on Risk-Weighted Assets factor is amended by referencing Tier 1 risk-weighted assets, and references to the Reporting Manual are updated.

17 Item 3

Substantive

The Mean Adjusted Net Income Volatility factor is amended as follows. (a) Calculate the volatility over a 10-year period rather than the current 5-year period (previously, the CDIC did not have access to more than 5 years of data). For new member institutions, calculation of this factor will begin when 5 years of data is available. (b) Use standard deviation rather than semi-deviation in the calculation. The proposed statistical measure (standard deviation) will capture all variations in net income as compared to the mean, both positive and negative, rather than only the volatility associated with drops in net income, which is the case when using semi-deviation. (c) Thresholds for mark allocation have been adjusted to accommodate standard deviation.

18 Item 4

Substantive

The Stress-Tested Net Income factor is amended to reflect the change from semi-deviation to standard deviation made to the Mean Adjusted Net Income Volatility factor.

19 Item 5

Technical

The Efficiency Ratio factor is amended to remove the exact location by line reference to data sources while retaining the textual description of the data.

20 Item 6

Substantive

In the Net Impaired Assets (including Net Unrealized Losses on Securities) to Total Capital factor, all references to Net Unrealized Losses on Securities have been removed. Technical changes are also being made to update the descriptions of forms in the Reporting Manual.

21 Item 7

Substantive

The Three-Year Moving Asset Growth factor is amended as follows: (a) the threshold for relief from the impact of a large asset acquisition is increased to 15% of the value of the consolidated assets of the member immediately prior to the acquisition from the current 10%; (b) the upper scoring threshold to obtain five marks is being increased to ≤ 15% from the current ≤ 20%; and (c) technical changes are also being made to update the descriptions of forms in the Reporting Manual.

22 Item 8

Substantive

The Real Estate Asset Concentration factor is amended as follows: (a) DSIBs no longer complete this factor; (b) Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) are now to be included in the calculation of total mortgage loans; (c) the Land Banking and Development Mortgage Loans sub-criterion is being combined with the Residential Interim Construction Mortgage Loans sub-criterion to create a new sub-criterion entitled Land Development Mortgage Loans, with thresholds set at concentration levels of ≤ 5% to score five marks and those ≥ 10% score no marks; and (d) technical changes have also been made throughout to remove the exact location by line reference to data sources while retaining the textual description of the data to be used.

23 Item 8-1

Substantive

A new Asset Encumbrance factor is introduced. It applies only to DSIBs. It is a two-step measure. An institution that meets the Unencumbered Asset Concentration threshold formula will score five marks. Other institutions will score either three or zero marks depending on the extent of their Pledged Assets.

24 Item 9

The Aggregate Commercial Loan Concentration factor is amended as follows:

Substantive

The scoring grid is changed. Institutions with an Aggregate Commercial Loan Concentration ratio of less than 100% will score full marks, whereas those members with a ratio greater than 300% will score no marks.

Technical

(a) DSIBs are directed to complete the measure; (b) descriptions of forms in the Reporting Manual are updated; and (c) the exact locations by line reference to data sources are removed while the textual description of the data to be used is retained.

25 Item 10

Technical

The Total Quantitative Score grid is amended to reflect changes made throughout the Reporting Form.

    Schedule 3, Scoring Grid — Quantitative Assessment
26 Schedule 3

Technical

This schedule repeats for each of the factors the Range of Scores. It has been amended to reflect all changes to the Range of Scores for each of the factors.

    General
27  

Technical

In French, the expression for audited financial statements has been changed throughout the By-law from "états financiers verifiés" to "états financiers audités."

28   The 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

Significant consultation with member institutions, their associations and interested parties, as well as with the public, has taken place. The first phase of consultation took place with the issuance of a consultation paper in October 2013 calling for feedback by January 2014. A further consultation paper was issued in July 2014 which outlined the results of the first round of consultation and set out proposals for change. Comments were requested by the end of August 2014. All comments were taken into account in completing the Amending By-law. The last phase of consultation took place through prepublication in Part I of the Canada Gazette on October 18, 2014, which ended on November 17, 2014.

Compliance and enforcement

There are no compliance or enforcement issues.
