Opaqueness to transparency: the Bank of Canada's financial data strategy

The Bank of Canada is increasingly constrained in its ability to analyse and research issues related to its economic functions owing to limits on the availability and quality of financial data. Consultations with other central banks and a review of the literature indicate there is general agreement that existing data are not sufficient for the purpose of analysing financial stability and efficiency. Indeed, most are at an early stage in setting up a financial data framework. For instance, more detailed information is required on balance sheet positions, on asset prices, and on indicators of liquidity of financial markets (Van den Bergh (2005)).
