Today, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) released the draft amendments to the Pillar 3 Disclosure Guidelines for consultation. These amendments incorporate the market risk and credit valuation adjustment risk disclosures of the Basel III Pillar 3 frameworkFootnote 1.

The draft amendments are for D-SIBsFootnote 2 and SMSBsFootnote 3 designated by OSFI to apply the market risk framework of the Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline effective in Q1 2024. These disclosures would be effective for the fiscal year-end 2024 reporting period.

The draft amendments to the guidelines are open for a 60-day consultation period. Questions and comments should be addressed to Pillar3-Pilier3@osfi-bsif.gc.ca by June 27, 2023. Stakeholders are also welcome to submit comments through the online questionnaire during the consultation. A non-attributed summary of comments received, along with OSFI’s responses, will be posted on OSFI’s website with the issuance of the final guideline later this year.
