Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (2026) Chapter 1 Overview

OSFI has issued the 2026 Liquidity Adequacy Requirements guideline to establish comprehensive liquidity standards for federally regulated banks, trust and loan companies, and bank holding companies. The framework mandates adherence to key quantitative metrics, including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Net Stable Funding Ratio, alongside supervisory tools like the Net Cumulative Cash Flow and intraday liquidity monitoring. It defines precise reporting frequencies, 100% compliance thresholds, and subsidiary exemptions to ensure institutions maintain robust liquidity positions and funding stability under normal and stressed market conditions.
