The applicability potential of foreign housing finance mechanisms in Canada / author, Mark Boléat.: NH18-1/373-1990E-PDF

"This paper analyses the mechanism by which housing finance loans are made, covering in particular the two basic systems, financing by retail deposits and financing by the capital markets, and the role of government in the mortgage market. The paper suggests that of all industrialised countries Canada has a system which relies least on specialised institutions and is most integrated into the general financial markets. However, the extent of government presence in mortgage insurance, through CMHC, is noteworthy. It is suggested that, from the international perspective, the main policy issues in Canada are the mortgage instrument, the role of the government in facilitating innovations and the evolution of the secondary market"--Abstract, p. 1.
