The Domestic Stability Buffer contributes to Domestic Systemically Important Banks' (D-SIBs) resilience to key vulnerabilities and system-wide risks, thereby contributing to financial stability.
OSFI reviews and sets the level of the Domestic Stability Buffer on a semi-annual basis (June and December), based on its ongoing monitoring of federally regulated financial institutions as well as system-wide and sectoral developments.
Decisions on the calibration of the buffer are based on OSFI supervisory judgement, informed by its monitoring and analytical work on a range of vulnerabilities, and are made in consultation with OSFI's federal financial regulatory partners.
The Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) remains set at:
1.00%
of total risk-weighted assets
