Using survey evidence, we examine how firms and consumers react to their inflation expectations during the post-pandemic period of high inflation. ## [Estimating the Costs of Electronic Retail Payment Networks: A Cross-Country Meta Analysis](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/12/staff-discussion-paper-2025-17/) _2025-12-17 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We explore how many electronic funds transfer (EFT) systems can viably coexist within a jurisdiction at efficient scale by estimating the cost curve of the average EFT. We estimate the marginal cost to be approximately $0.55 per transaction, and the fixed cost to be approximately $83 million per year. ## [Modelling the Sovereign Debt Strategy: A Practical Primer](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/12/staff-discussion-paper-2025-16/) _2025-12-02 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We provide a primer on the role of debt modelling in informing the sovereign debt issuance strategy and discuss how specific challenges faced by debt managers can influence model design decisions.

Evidence from the Business Leaders’ Pulse](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/11/staff-discussion-paper-2025-15/) _2025-11-28 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We analyze Canadian data from the Bank of Canada’s Business Leaders’ Pulse, examining firms’ sales growth expectations. We find that expected growth predicts outcomes, uncertainty influences forecast errors and revisions, and firms with weak past performance anticipate and experience weaker future growth. These results highlight the survey’s value for understanding business expectations. ## [The Dealer-to-Client Repo Market: A Buoy on a Swaying Sea](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/11/staff-discussion-paper-2025-14/) _2025-11-24 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ In 2024, the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) rose 7 basis points above the Bank of Canada’s target overnight rate as settlement balances declined and hedge fund borrowing increased by $30 billion, straining dealers’ balance sheets. Exercising market power, dealers raised rates, and as client activity grew, these higher rates increasingly influenced CORRAs deviation from target. ## [Net Send Limits in the Lynx Payment System: Usage and Implications](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/11/staff-discussion-paper-2025-13/) _2025-11-03 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We study how participants in the Lynx payment system use the net send limit (NSL) tool to control their intraday payment outflow levels. Our results show that participants typically adopt a “set it and forget it” approach to scheduling NSLs and sometimes have distinct intraday NSL adjustment behaviours. ## [2024 Methods-of-Payment Survey Report: Cash in an Era of Alternatives](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/08/staff-discussion-paper-2025-12/) _2025-08-14 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We present core findings from the 2024 Methods-of-Payment Survey, highlighting results from both the survey questionnaire and three-day shopping diary. Although cash holdings have increased in nominal terms, we find that cash usage remains unchanged since 2020. Mobile and other alternative payment methods continue to grow in importance. ## [Synthesizing Signals from the Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/07/staff-discussion-paper-2025-11/) _2025-07-11 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We introduce the Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations indicator.

This study leverages a newly created Statistics Canada dataset linking insolvency records with firm-level financial data to develop a robust framework for monitoring insolvency risk ## [A Retail CBDC Design for Basic Payments: Feasibility Study](https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/06/staff-discussion-paper-2025-9/) _2025-06-17 · Staff discussion papers - Bank of Canada_ We outline possible system architectures for an online retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) and identify one well-suited for basic payments. We analyze OpenCBDC 2PC, a representative system, finding such designs to be feasible, although some areas require further investigation. Our framing highlights other promising architectures for a retail CBDC.
