FDIC Announces Memorandum of Understanding With Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation
Agreement Provides Formal Basis for Information Sharing and Cooperation Related to Resolution Planning and Implementation
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced today the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) that formalizes and strengthens cross-border cooperation in the event of the failure of a large, complex financial institution operating in both countries.
The MOU was signed Tuesday evening in Ottawa by CDIC President and CEO Michéle Bourque and FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg.
"This agreement is another step in the significant effort underway by the FDIC to engage with our foreign counterparts and build the cross-border relationships critical to effective resolution planning," said FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg. "The FDIC has worked closely with the CDIC on many issues and this MOU is another important step that reflects our productive working relationship."
"One of the key lessons learned from the financial crisis was that effective planning will support stability and confidence in the financial system during stressful periods," said Ms. Bourque. "This agreement will advance our collaboration with our most significant international partner."
The agreement builds on the existing relationship between the FDIC and CDIC by enhancing and strengthening their consultation and cooperation and exchange of information related to crisis management and contingency planning, both during normal business times and during periods of financial stress.
