Public Consultation: Policy guidance on the Bank of Canada’s risk-management standards for designated financial market infrastructures - Standard 24: Recovery Plans

Comments on the policy guidance can be emailed by 1 February 2016 to the Bank of Canada at . Comments received will be shared with the CSA.

This is the eighth guidance note on risk management for FMIs that the Bank has published for comment. A full list of these guidance notes is available on the Bank of Canada Risk-Management Standards for Designated FMIs page in the Financial System section of the Bank’s website.
