This report begins by examining the state of Canadian financial services, focusing on personal services such as retail banks, credit unions, and retail asset management. Information is provided on the key players in the financial services industry, their products and performance, and how they compare internationally. The forces reshaping the industry are then reviewed, including technological advances, increasing consumer sophistication, regulatory reform, and globalization. The impact of these forces of change on banks, life insurance companies, and other Canadian financial institutions is assessed. The competitiveness of these institutions and their potential competitive strategies are analyzed, along with the degree to which their Canadian clients (wholesale, commercial, and retail consumer) are served. Finally, international regulatory responses to the forces of change are explored and various options for national policy goals are evaluated.

From the back cover: Canadians will soon be debating specific proposals for changes to regulations for the financial services industry that are slated for implementation in 1997....This volume examines a set of policy questions that are central to the 1997 legislative review. The book is a collection of papers, each examining a different policy question. The first is motivated by the need for an objective assessment of the link between competition, concentration and profitability, with particular attention paid to major banks. The second reviews the basic issues in the design of Canada's payments system, through which financial institutions clear transactions with each other. The final paper evaluates the impact of rapidly changing computer, communication and networking technologies.

This paper is based on a survey of the chief financial officers (CFOs) of 37 of Canada's largest corporations and a subsequent small focus group of selected CFOs who were asked to expand on some of the survey responses. It outlines the views of CFOs on their banking relationships, explores how these CFOs view the performance of Canadian banks both at home and abroad, and examines whether these views lead them to have strong feelings about the current ownership structure of Canadian banks. The appendix includes the survey questions along with tabulated survey results.

Presents the report of a task force appointed to inquire into public policies affecting the financial services sector and to make appropriate recommendations. Task force work included receipt of submissions from interested parties, holding of meetings across Canada to solicit public input, and commissioning external research studies. Four basic themes are explored: enhancing competition and competitiveness, consumer empowerment, Canadians' expectations and corporate conduct, and improving the regulatory framework. After introductory chapters on these themes and the task force's approach, chapter 3 reviews forces of change acting on the sector, including technological advances and globalization, plus the responses to those changes. Chapter 4 includes an overview of the sector and its importance to Canada, and discusses challenges facing the sector. Chapter 5 presents the task force's vision for the sector and suggests how to achieve that vision. Chapters 6 through 9 treat the four basic themes in turn, covering such topics as ownership policy, business powers, mergers, protection of privacy, consumer protection, social performance, and regulation of market entry. The final chapters summarize the task force's recommendations and concluding observations.

The conference proceedings contained in this document explore several questions ranging from specific concerns with concentrated ownership and cross-ownership, the extent to which biases in market allocation decisions are driven by tax policy, by other public policies, or induced by other distortions in market structures, to more general questions of corporate governance and the efficiency of markets for corporate control. The papers are organized into the following general topics: dimensions of corporate concentration; rethinking the modern corporation; takeovers: determinants and effects; the financial sector; corporate power and influence; and public policy responses.

This background paper considers the ownership of regulated financial institutions, how the institutions can organize themselves, and what business powers they are allowed to exercise. After an introduction on key restrictions on the financial sector, the following three chapters discuss ownership policy, organizational flexibility, and business powers of financial institutions. Each chapter reviews the current situation in Canada, recent significant policy events that have shaped that situation, and the state of policy and practice in other major countries. A reconsideration of current policy and conclusions of the Task Force on the Future of the Canadian Financial Services Sector are then set out as a basis for presenting Task Force proposals. Specialized issues relating to co-operative financial institutions are examined in chapter 5. The final chapter reviews Task Force conclusions.
