Key Points: 
  • OTTAWA, ON, June 1, 2023 /CNW/ - Today, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) released two draft frameworks, open for public consultation until June 30, 2023, that will strengthen Canada's financial system:
    Parental Stand-alone (Solo) Capital Framework for internationally active life insurance groups.
  • The two solo frameworks focus on the loss-absorbing capacity of the Canadian parent bank or Canadian parent operating life insurer, rather than its entire, consolidated operations, allowing OSFI to assess the stand-alone financial strength of the parent and its ability to act as source of strength for its subsidiaries and branches.
  • These two draft guidelines complement OSFI's existing TLAC and capital guidelines for D-SIBs and life insurers respectively on a group consolidated basis, providing an additional layer of protection to safeguard the rights and interests of depositors, policyholders, and creditors.
  • OSFI will assess them and issue final frameworks later this year.
