Reporting instructions

Part I: Both (a) and (b) cover transactions within Canada in gold and silver (bullion and coin). Exports or imports of these precious metal assets, where customs documents are filed by the banks as principals, are to be excluded. Sales and purchases between Canadian chartered banks and other residents and non-residents should be reported as long as the transaction is based on the exchange of bullion or coins physically located in Canada at time of exchange. All sales and purchases in bullion should be reported in ounces, while those in coins should be reported in thousands of United States dollars.

Part II: Both (a) and (b) cover, on a geographical basis, precious metal (gold and silver) related assets and liabilities booked in Canada. All amounts should be reported in thousands of United States dollars.

Residency: All amounts are to be allocated to a country according to residence. Such residence is indicated by the mailing address, unless the bank is aware that the residential status of the party is different from the mailing address. The term "non-residents" means an individual, corporation or other organization, not ordinarily resident in Canada. A non-resident includes foreign branches and foreign subsidiaries of Canadian corporations but does not include the branches or subsidiaries of foreign corporations in Canada. If a company is a resident of Canada, the company should be classified under Canada even though the company might be controlled by concerns outside Canada.

Swap transactions: Transactions in which the location of precious metal owned by the bank is changed through a swap transaction are to be reported. Acquisitions from a non-resident of gold or silver located in Canada are to be reported as purchases and deliveries to a non-resident in Canada as sales on Part I. The counterpart of these transactions are to be reflected on the asset side of Part II.

Receivables/ payables: Gold or silver ounces receivable booked in Canada which cannot be allocated geographically in Part II, should be reported under item 8 iii) unallocated.
