Breaking Tradition
ANNUAL REPORT 2012 BREAKING TRADITION As our business evolves, so must our brand—to ensure our corporate identity is an authentic expression of our character, offer and value. We renewed our brand to convey the dynamism of the Mint, our commitment to our stakeholders, and the spirit of engagement that drives our interactions with customers. As part of the exercise, we adopted a fresh, modernized logo. This new mark retains the maple leaf as a Canadian icon and coins as a symbol of our core business. It affirms our two core pillars of pride and trust and emphasizes in a new way our third: innovation. 2 | ROYAL CANADIAN MINT ANNUAL REPORT 2012 5 Financial and Operating Highlights 32 Performance Against Objectives 8 At a Glance: Breaking Tradition 34 Management Discussion and Analysis 18 Message from the President and CEO 55 Management Report 19 Message from the Chair 56 Audit Committee Report 20 Corporate Social Responsibility 57 Independent Auditor’s Report 22 Corporate Governance 58 Financial Statements 29 Directors and Officers 62 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 Business Lines 100 Statistics HEAD OFFICE AND WINNIPEG PLANT BOUTIQUE LOCATIONS OTTAWA PLANT Royal Canadian Mint Royal Canadian Mint Ottawa Visit our online store 320 Sussex Drive 520 Lagimodière Boulevard 320 Sussex Drive for a full selection of products Ottawa, Ontario Winnipeg, Manitoba Ottawa, Ontario at www.mint.ca Canada K1A 0G8 Canada R2J 3E7 Canada K1A 0G8 613-993-3500 204-983-6400 613-933-8990 Vancouver 752 Granville Street Vancouver, British Columbia -

Electronic Money and Payments: Recent Developments and Issues

The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors. No responsibility for them should be attributed to the Bank of Canada. 2 ISSN 1914-0568 © 2014 Bank of Canada Abstract The authors review recent developments in retail payments in Canada and elsewhere, with a focus on e-money products, and assess their potential public policy implications. In particular, they study how these developments will affect the demand for bank notes, and the central bank’s balance sheet and its seigniorage revenue, which as a result might affect the central bank’s ability to implement and conduct monetary policy and to promote financial stability. Other public policy issues, such as safety and efficiency, and user protection as well as legal, security and law enforcement, are also considered. While the demise of cash is not imminent, it is important for the central bank to continue to evaluate its potential roles with regard to e-money.

Migrant Remittances: Alternative Money Transfer Channels
Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Migrant Remittances: Alternative Money Transfer Channels Authors: Martina Metzger, Tim Riedler, Jennifer Pédussel Wu Working Paper, No. 127/2020 Editors: Sigrid Betzelt, Eckhard Hein (lead editor), Martina Metzger, Martina Sproll, Christina Teipen, Markus Wissen, Jennifer Pédussel Wu, Reingard Zimmer Migrant Remittances: Alternative Money Transfer Channels Martina Metzger ([email protected]), Professor of Monetary Economics, Berlin School of Economics and Law, Institute for International Political Economy Berlin (IPE) Tim Riedler ([email protected]), HTW University of Applied Sciences Berlin Jennifer Pédussel Wu ([email protected]), Professor of International Trade and Production, Berlin School of Economics and Law, Institute for International Political Economy Berlin (IPE) Abstract This paper first explores the role of digital financial services, e.g. mobile money systems and cryptocurrency-based systems, and their impact on the choice of migrants to send remittances. Secondly we discuss whether alternative remittances sending channels increase access to financial services for remittance-sending and remittance-receiving households. Africa, and in particularly Kenya, are pioneers in alternative money transfer systems and of tailor-made regulatory initiatives to address digital financial services. Thus, our paper focuses on the technologies of the Kenyan mobile money system, M-Pesa, and the major cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and based on that takes into account selected experiences of other Sub-Saharan African countries. We find that in comparison to traditional remittances sending channels, mobile money transfer channels are often superior in terms of service-related features as costs of transfers for sending and receiving households, speed of delivery, availability and access to the remittances by receiving households or security of transactions. -

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS 1.1 Europe: The European Central Bank (ECB) has published a report on card payments in Europe which focuses on the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) for cards. The report aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the status of card payments in Europe, including the impact of new technologies. A press release accompanying the report states that the Eurosystem is now turning its attention to the harmonisation of card payments following the near completion of the migration of credit transfers and direct debits under the SEPA Migration Regulation (260/2012). See the press release here and the report here. 1.2 Europe: The draft Payment Accounts Directive has been approved by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU has stated that it will also approve it without amendment. The Directive aims to facilitate payment account switching, improve transparency of the fees of payment accounts and give those legally resident in the EU the right to open a basic payment account which cannot be denied on grounds of nationality or residence. Under the agreed text, member states will have two years to transpose the Directive into national law. 1.3 Europe: The European Parliament has voted on amendments to the Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and Multilateral Interchange Fees Regulation (MIFR). -
