3 Financial Institutions Financial Markets Financial & Settlement Systems The Three Pillars of the Financial System The Financial System 3
4 Traditional Roles of a Central Bank (Morgan, 1943) The functions of a modern central bank are fourfold: to act as a manager of the National Debt and banker to the government; to regulate the currency; to be a banker s bank, and to act as a lender of last resort 4
5 Lender of Last Resort- LOLR A key characteristic of a central bank is its ability to act as LOLR by expanding its liability (in a superior form of monetary value). Function (may have?) evolved from central bank s role in clearing and settlement. Norman et als, Bank of England Working Paper no. 412 The history of interbank settlement arrangements (June 2011) 5
6 The central bank, money and the monetary system Issuer of bank notes/the official currency Holder of commercial bank s reserve/settlement accounts [effectuating the centralization of reserves] Monetary policy [management of money supply] through market operations [ reserves deposits/multiplier effect] 6
7 Central banks interest in payment and settlement systems BIS/CPSS May 2005 Supply of money as a means of exchange Maintenance of the stability of the financial system Implementation of monetary policy Two Aspects to Central bank s role in paymet and settlement systems: Scope and contents of the role; Role as a catalyst to evolution of other central bank s powers and responsibilities 7
8 Interest rates, money supply and price stability Central bank buys government debt securities from commercial banks Increase in money supply Low interest rate and higher price level; Central bank sells government debt securities from commercial banks decrease in money supply High interest rate and lower price level 8
9 Regulation of Money Supply Commercial Bank Money Central Bank Money Banknotes (and coins) held by the public Notes 1) Amount of Commercial bank money increases with the increase in the amount of central bank money 2) Amount of commercial bank money decreases with the decrease in the amount of central bank money Definition 1. Monetary base = central bank money + banknotes (and coins) held by the public 2. Money supply = commercial bank money + banknotes (and coins) held by the public 9
10 MS Goodfriend, in D. Humphrey, (ed) The US Payment System (1990), 247 Modern payment system is a complex set of arrangements involving such diverse institutions as currency, the banking system, clearing houses, the central bank, and government deposit insurance 10
11 Spindler and Summers: The Central Bank s Three Part Overall Mandate The conduct of monetary policy; Oversight of banks and financial markets to ensure their safety and stability; and: Involvement in the payment system: Supervising clearing organizations and banks that play key roles in the payment systems; Providing settlement across its books; Operating the LVTS; and Establishing appropriate public policy to govern the structure of private clearing and settlement arrangements.

14 Terminology [End-to-end non-cash] Payment: transfer of monetary value culminating in a debit to a payer account and credit to a payee s account. Clearing: processing and establishing [interbank] amounts to be settled Clearing house: centralized facility for clearing Settlement: payment of amounts established in clearing: In either central or commercial bank money [or otherwise?] 14
15 Central Bank Oversight of Payment and Settlement Systems BIS/CPSS May 2005 Oversight of payment and settlement systems is a central bank function whereby the objectives of safety and efficiency* are promoted by monitoring existing and planned systems, assessing them against these objectives and, where necessary, inducing change *Competition? Customer s protection? 15
16 Payment Systems (electronic and paper based) 1.Wholesale (single transaction/small groups focus)/lvts (wire transfers) 2. Retail (Batch processing)/bulk/ach; cheques; card payments 16
17 Policies relating to the efficiency and safety of retail payments should be designed by Central Bank, where appropriate To address legal and regulatory impediments to market development and innovation. To foster competitive market conditions and behaviours. To support the development of effective standards and infrastructure arrangements. To provide central bank services in the manner most effective for the particular market. Source: CPSS Publications No 52 March

19 Balancing Oversight and Innovation in the Ways We Pay: A Consultation Paper (released on April 13, 2015) Government of Canada has developed an oversight framework in which each system is assigned a place along a continuum according to the overall level of risk it poses to the economy. Systems were divided to three categories: (i) National retail payment systems processing low-value payments such as card networks and online payment systems; (ii) Prominent payment systems such as the ACSS, and (iii) Systematically important systems (such as the LVTS). 19
20 Payment Systems Are: instrumental both to the exercise and evolution of powers or functions by the central bank. They are: the foundation on which central banks core functions are built the bridge between them, for a breakdown of the payment system would inevitably disrupt both monetary and financial stability *AG Haldane & E. Latter, The Role of Central Banks in Payment Systems Oversight (2005), 45 Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin 66, at p
21 Statue of ESCB and ECB Art 2: Primary objective: to maintain price stability Art 3.1: Basic tasks: define and implement monetary policy; conduct foreign exchange operations; hold and maintain states foreign reserves; promote smooth operations of payment systems Art 16: exclusive right to authorize banknotes issue; Art. 22: ECB and NCB may provide facilities and the ECB may make regulations, to ensure efficient and sound clearing and payment systems.. 21
22 Payment System (Defaultsettlement incompletion) Risks 1. Legal uncertainty 2. Operational risk (e.g. equipment failure) 3. Credit risk (bank insolvency) 4. Liquidity risk (bank temporary inability to pay debts) 5. Systemic risk (domino effect of bank failure or settlement default) 22
23 Systemic Risk caused by settlement failure in SIPS Systemic risk the spread of inability to complete settlement into the financial system Designation, oversight and regulation in relation to clearing and settlement systems. Legal powers in relation to systemic risk: - Designation by the authorities; - Powers over clearing house, central counterparty, and participants. - Power to issue directives, agreements and general powers to control risk. 23
24 PCSA (1996) s. 4(1) If the Governor of the Bank [of Canada] is of the opinion that a clearing and settlement system could be operated in a manner that poses a systemic risk or payments system risk* and the Minister is of the opinion that it is in the public interest to do so, the Governor may designate the clearing and settlement system as a clearing and settlement system that is subject to this Part *Added in December
25 PCSA s. 2: systemic risk is: 1. the risk that the inability of a 25 participant to meet its obligations in a clearing and settlement system as they become due, or a disruption to or a failure of a clearing and settlement system, could, by transmitting financial problems through the system, cause:
26 PCSA s. 2: systemic risk will cause: (a) other participants in the clearing and settlement system to be unable to meet their obligations as they become due, (b) financial institutions in other parts of the Canadian financial system to be unable to meet their obligations as they become due, or (c) the clearing and settlement system s clearing house or the clearing house of another clearing and settlement system within the Canadian financial system to be unable to meet its obligations as they become due, As of December also: (d) an adverse effect on the stability or integrity of the Canadian financial system 26
27 PCSA: Payment system risk (as of Dec. 2014) the risk that a disruption to or a failure of a clearing and settlement system could cause a significant adverse effect on economic activity in Canada by (a) impairing the ability of individuals, businesses or government entities to make payments, or (b) producing a general loss of confidence in the overall Canadian payments system, which includes payment instruments, infrastructure, organizations, market arrangements and legal frameworks that allow for the transfer of monetary value 27
28 PCSA: Powers in relation to systems-i PCSA s. 6 authorizes BOC Governor to issue directives to a clearing house of a designated clearing and settlement system and its participants to take or refrain from an action in relation to systemic and payment system risks. As well, the PCSA provides the BOC with certain powers to enable it to monitor and control risk in designated systems: Under PCSA s. 5 Systems must provide the BOC with such information as the Bank requests. 28
29 PCSA: Powers in relation to systems-ii Under s. PCSA s. 9 Systems must provide the BOC with advance notice of any significant changes to the system, including changes to: operation of the system; the by-laws, rules or agreements which govern the system. Under PCSA s. 10 the BOC may conduct audits and inspections of a system and its clearing house. BOC may enter into an agreement with a System, governing such matters as netting, risk control, certainty of settlement and finality of payment, nature of financial arrangements among participants and 29 operation of the system.

38 What is Financial Stability? A stable financial system is one in which financial intermediaries, markets and market infrastructure facilitate the smooth flow of funds between savers and investors and, by doing so, help promote growth in economic activity. Conversely, financial instability is a material disruption to this intermediation process with potentially damaging implications for the real economy Source: RBA The ability of the financial system to withstand stresses and strains and continue to provide financial services P. Jenkins and G. Thiessen, Reducing the Potential for Future Financial Crises: A Framework for Macro-Prudential Policy in Canada Commentary No. 351(Toronto: C.D. Howe Institute, May 2012) 38
39 Terminology: Key Concepts The elimination or control of systemic risk is tantamount to financial stability Macro-prudential supervision and regulation is designed to control (if not eliminate altogether) systemic risk so as to lead to financial stability. 39
40 Systemic Risks Risks to the financial system that cumulate across institutions, markets, and even countries to levels that could have serious effects on the real economy. They are of two types: Resiliency risks reflect a concentration of risk that can arise at a point in time because the interconnectedness and similar exposures of financial institutions and markets reduce the resiliency of the financial system to shocks and stresses. Procyclical risks, in contrast, are those that cumulate over time and reflect the tendency of the financial system to procyclical behaviour [rapid credit expansion contributing to unsustainable booms during economic upswings] that exacerbates economic booms and busts. 40
41 Macroprudential An orientation or perspective of regulatory and supervisory arrangements, calibrating them from a system-wide or systemic perspective, rather than from that of the safety and soundness of individual institutions on a standalone basis. It is an inductive rather than deductive perspective that follows a top-down approach, working out the desirable safety standard for the system as a whole and, from there, deriving that of the individual institutions within it. It takes explicitly into account the fact that drivers of risk depend on the collective behaviour of financial institutions. * *C. Borio, Implementing a Macroprudential Framework: Blending Boldness and Realism (BIS, 2010) at p. 2 41
42 Macro-prudential policy Macro-prudential policy seeks to augment the existing regulatory framework by focusing on systemic risk. Systemic risk can be broadly defined as risks to the stability of the whole or a large part of the financial sector. The purpose is to look beyond setting specific regulatory requirements aimed at ensuring the safety and soundness of individual firms [ micro-prudential regulation ], in order to identify desirable safety standards for the financial system as a whole. Macro-prudential regulation is an important addition to existing micro-prudential (or firm-specific) financial regulation. Source: UK New Approach Feb
43 Macroprudential policy toolkit Tools addressing the resilience risk involve the adjustment of capital base, pertain to governance and managerial incentives, and purport to increase transparency to enhance market discipline Addressing procyclicality requires the inducement of a build-up of cushions in good times so that they could be drawn down in bad times, thereby acting as stabilizers. -- the development of an effective framework to address procyclicality raises some questions that are familiar from the development of fiscal and monetary policy.

54 Conclusion: The Economist, February 19 th -25 th 2011 at 77 The West s financial crisis has shaken public confidence in its leading central banks, and yet has also led to an expansion of their duties and powers. This has happened against the background in which central banking is becoming a more complicated game. On one hand, [the] old monetary policy tasks are not getting any easier to perform. On the other hand, in taking on more responsibility for the supervision of banks and the stability of the financial system central banks are taking more risks: Financial stability is politically a more treacherous mission that price stability. It requires new macroprudential policies and a new set of skills. Particularly, it may be more difficult if not impossible to insulate the attainment of financial stability from political considerations as well as interference by politicians. 54
