CDIC 2025-2026 Corporate Plan Summary released

OTTAWA – February 6, 2026 – The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) tabled its 2025-2026 Summary of the Corporate Plan in Parliament today.

At CDIC we protect insured deposits, ensure the orderly resolution of a member institution in the event of failure, and contribute to financial stability. The strategies outlined in this Summary of the Corporate Plan are a continuation of CDIC’s long-term plan and commitment to protect depositors and promote financial stability in this rapidly changing environment.

“With so many uncertainties and pressures facing people today, CDIC plays a critical role in providing peace of mind that their insured deposits are safe,” said CDIC President and CEO Gina Byrne. “This plan lays out how we will continue to effectively deliver on our mandate to protect depositors while reinforcing confidence in Canada’s financial system.”

CDIC is focusing on strategic objectives for the 2025-2026 to 2029-2030 planning period:

Trust and confidence in Canada’s financial system depends on people knowing their deposits are protected. CDIC is committed to maintaining a high level of public awareness about its protection. By anticipating depositor needs and providing clear, reliable information, CDIC helps strengthen trust in its member institutions and fosters a better understanding of how deposit insurance works.

Resolution readiness means being ready to act quickly and effectively if a financial institution fails. For CDIC, this starts with a skilled workforce, reliable data and systems, and strong preparedness practices. These attributes, combined with regular testing of our plans through crisis simulations, will improve our ability to assess risks, plan effectively, and be ready to step in to protect depositors.
