Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (Office of the) - backgrounder

Backgrounder / 2026-07-30 / registry row: fed-superintendent-financial-institutions-canada (this library's government-document registry) / lens file for this org's series briefs

Mandate & statutory basis

OSFI is established under the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 18 (3rd Supp.), Part I (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/o-2.7/page-1.html, fetched via r.jina.ai after direct laws-lois fetch timed out; consolidated version current to 2026-06-14). Section 3.1: "The purpose of this Act is to ensure that financial institutions and pension plans are regulated by an office of the Government of Canada so as to contribute to public confidence in the Canadian financial system." Section 4 establishes the Office, presided over by the Minister of Finance, to supervise financial institutions' soundness and legal compliance and pension plans' funding/regulatory compliance, protecting depositors, policyholders and plan members (same source).

Roles, responsibilities & scope

OSFI regulates and supervises more than 400 federally regulated financial institutions and roughly 1,200 pension plans as "an independent agency of the Government of Canada" (https://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/en, fetched via r.jina.ai; registry row fed-superintendent-financial-institutions-canada). Its statutory functions span prudential regulation/supervision of banks, insurers and trust companies, actuarial services for federal pension and benefit plans, and pension-plan oversight under the Act (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/o-2.7/page-1.html, fetched via r.jina.ai).

Governance & reporting line

The Office is "presided over" by the Minister of Finance under the Act, with a Superintendent of Financial Institutions appointed by the Governor in Council as deputy head for a seven-year term (removable for cause, reappointable, with temporary-replacement provisions for absence/vacancy up to six months) (Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Act s. 5, https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/o-2.7/page-1.html, fetched via r.jina.ai). ⚠️ still being checked - the name of the current Superintendent was not confirmed this review (osfi-bsif.gc.ca leadership pages did not load).

Budget scale

~$351.3M total planned spending for 2025-26 (Regulation/Supervision $195.8M, Actuarial Services $14.0M, Internal Services $141.6M), 1,303 planned FTEs; more than 99% cost-recovered via industry assessments ($349.99M statutory/cost-recovered funding vs. $1.32M voted parliamentary appropriation for public-sector actuarial services) (OSFI 2025-26 Departmental Plan, https://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/en/about-osfi/reports-publications/2025-26-Departmental-Plan, fetched via r.jina.ai).

Institutional history

Established under the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 18 (3rd Supp.) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/o-2.7/page-1.html, fetched via r.jina.ai); ⚠️ still being checked - predecessor institutions (the separate offices of the Inspector General of Banks and the Department of Insurance, merged to form OSFI in 1987) not independently confirmed against a primary source this review.

Strategy evolution brief

Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (Office of the) - strategy evolution

2026-08-01 (rolling continuation) / registry: fed-superintendent-financial-institutions-canada / grounded in archived copies (cited document id + sha256) / read through our research file for that body

TL;DR: The biggest priority addition across the archived 2020-2026 window is OSFI's mandate expansion into integrity-and-security oversight following Bill C-47 (June 2023), formalized as a named strategic priority in the 2024-27 Strategic Plan and implemented through a new National Security Sector and Integrity and Security Risk Division. The 2022-25 Strategic Plan's "Strategic Stakeholder and Partner Engagement" and "Policy Innovation" priorities quietly disappear from the 2024-27 plan's six priorities with no documented cross-walk explaining whether they were retired or folded into other categories. The most load-bearing number is the finding that only 9 of 29 archived documents (about 31%) contain real usable content, with 20 being content-free archival stubs — far below the registry's nominal "ok" status. One open question the record cannot resolve: whether the dropped "Strategic Stakeholder and Partner Engagement" and "Policy Innovation" priorities were formally retired or merely re-scoped under the 2024-27 plan's "Critical functions"/"Operational resilience" categories.

Backgrounder summary

OSFI is established under the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 18 (3rd Supp.), with the purpose (s. 3.1) of ensuring financial institutions and pension plans are regulated by a Government of Canada office "so as to contribute to public confidence in the Canadian financial system." The Office is presided over by the Minister of Finance (s. 4), with a Superintendent appointed by the Governor in Council for a seven-year term (s. 5). OSFI regulates and supervises "more than 400 federally regulated financial institutions and roughly 1,200 pension plans." Budget scale per the backgrounder: ~$351.3M total planned spending for 2025-26 (Regulation/Supervision $195.8M, Actuarial Services $14.0M, Internal Services $141.6M), 1,303 planned FTEs, more than 99% cost-recovered ($349.99M statutory vs. $1.32M voted appropriation). The backgrounder flagged two ⚠️ still being checked items: the name of the current Superintendent, and the 1987 predecessor-institution merger story. Both are resolved by the archived series itself (see Priority evolution and Budget & mandate inflection points below): the archived documents independently confirm Peter Routledge as Superintendent from June 2021 through the most recent archived Departmental Plan (dp-2026, dated June 17, 2025), and confirm OSFI "was established on July 2, 1987... through the merger of its two predecessor agencies – the Department of Insurance and the Office of the Inspector General of Banks" (ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b; ar-2022, 33c779430da3; ar-2023, a2b0da554825; ar-2024, e941ee9997cc). The backgrounder's budget figures ($351.3M total; $195.8M / $14.0M / $141.6M by core responsibility; 1,303 FTEs; $349.99M statutory vs. $1.32M voted) are likewise an exact match to dp-2026's own tables (93ae4e637109) — no year-mismatch discrepancy of the kind found in other org briefs in this series.

Series inventory

Of the 29 documents registered and archived for this org (registry archive_status: archived), 20 (69%) extract to a content-free ~804-character publications.gc.ca "Information Archived on the Web" interstitial stub, and only 9 (31%) contain real, substantive content — and one of those 9 (ar-2025) is itself only a partial capture (a landing/summary page, not the full multi-chapter report; see Residuals & gaps). This is the true usable-content rate for this org: 9/29 (≈31%), not the 29/29 status: "ok" the registry's own field would suggest. Three additional rows (ar-2018, ar-2019, ar-2020) are registered with archive_status: missing (flagged ⚠️ still being checked — the web archive was unreachable when we looked) — these were never successfully archived at all, so they are not counted among the 29 and are listed here for completeness only, not in the 29-row inventory below.

Not counted in the 29 (never archived): fed-superintendent-financial-institutions-canada-ar-2018, -ar-2019, -ar-2020 — registry archive_status: missing, flagged ⚠️ still being checked — the web archive was unreachable when we looked.

The real-content set is entirely Annual Reports (5, FY2020-21 through FY2024-25) and Departmental Plans (4, FY2022-23 through FY2025-26). No Departmental Results Report (retrospective results) document type exists anywhere in this registry for this org — unlike some peer org series, OSFI's Annual Report itself functions as the retrospective/results document (it reports "Progress results" against strategic goals and full financial statements), so there is no missing-DRR gap here, just a different document-type pairing (AR + DP, not DP + DRR).

Priority evolution

FY2020-21, under outgoing Superintendent Jeremy Rudin (ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b): OSFI reports progress against the 2019-2022 Strategic Plan (released March 2019), organized around four goals: (1) FRFI/FRPP preparedness and resilience to financial risk, in normal conditions and in the next stress event; (2) FRFI/FRPP resilience to non-financial risks before they harm financial condition; (3) improved agility and operational effectiveness; (4) preserving Canadians' and industry support/cooperation. Each goal carries named sub-priorities — e.g., Goal 1 includes "apply a more risk-based and principles-based approach to regulation and supervision," Goal 2 includes "continue to develop our regulatory and supervisory approaches to technology risks, including digitization, cloud computing, modelling and cyber security," Goal 3 includes "better leverage our data assets by improving data management and analytics." Concrete FY2020-21 deliverables cited include a January 2021 discussion paper on prudential considerations regarding climate change, a September 2020 technology risk discussion paper, and continued work of a "Culture External Advisory Committee." Total costs were $201.3M (up $11.5M/6.1%); FTEs reached 867 (up 9.3%), explicitly tied to Strategic Plan implementation. As of March 31, 2021, OSFI employed approximately 860 people across offices in Ottawa, Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver.

June 2021 — leadership transition (ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b; ar-2022, 33c779430da3): Peter Routledge is appointed Superintendent, succeeding Jeremy Rudin, who is thanked in ar-2022 "for leading our organization with integrity and distinction over the past seven years."

FY2021-22 — close of the 2019-22 Strategic Plan and the pivot to transformation (ar-2022, 33c779430da3): The report frames itself as the completion of the 2019-2022 Strategic Plan while pivoting focus toward "the risks on OSFI's horizon" — the digitalization of money, intensifying climate-related prudential risk, and pandemic aftermath. In May 2021, a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Unit is created. On December 20, 2021, OSFI releases "A Blueprint for OSFI's Transformation 2022-25," built on three foundational elements: refocusing mandate delivery toward public-confidence contribution, expanding/fortifying risk management capabilities and risk appetite, and enhancing culture "to thrive in increasing uncertainty." In March 2022, OSFI announces organizational-structure changes to align with the new strategy, quoting Superintendent Routledge: "OSFI has an impressive record of accomplishment in helping to keep Canada's financial system resilient. To sustain that record of service, we must be prepared and well positioned to not only react, but also adapt urgently to an [intensifying] risk environment." Total costs $212.5M (up 5.6%); FTEs 920 (up 6.1%).

April 22, 2022 — the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan (ar-2022, 33c779430da3; ar-2023, a2b0da554825; dp-2023, 9b45979d92ad): Building on the Blueprint, the plan sets "six priority initiatives" — Culture; Risk Strategy and Governance; Strategic Stakeholder and Partner Engagement; Policy Innovation; Supervisory Framework; and Data Management and Analytics. ar-2023 records that implementing these initiatives was projected to grow OSFI's budget from $212.5M (year ended March 31, 2022) to approximately $290M by March 31, 2025 — a projected 31.8% three-year growth. dp-2023 (FY2022-23 planning) describes an ambition for "OSFI to become a global leader in prudential supervision," including an "expanded and dedicated team for climate risk that builds out the work of OSFI's climate risk working group."

FY2022-23 (ar-2023, a2b0da554825; dp-2023, 9b45979d92ad): The first full year of Blueprint/Strategic-Plan implementation. Total costs $242.8M (up 14.3%); FTEs 1,024 (up 11.3%). A "Culture, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion unit" is established as part of a three-year plan; OSFI publicly defines its risk appetite, supported by a new enterprise risk management (ERM) function.

June 22, 2023 — Bill C-47 expands OSFI's mandate (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc; dp-2025, 5b8874b19dd0; dp-2026, 93ae4e637109): Parliament passes the Budget Implementation Act (Bill C-47), stemming from Budget 2023, adding integrity-and-security duties to OSFI's mandate. Effective January 1, 2024, federally regulated institutions must have and adhere to "adequate policies and procedures to protect themselves from threats to their integrity and security, including foreign interference," which OSFI must examine and report on annually to the Minister of Finance. A new National Security Sector (NSS) and Integrity and Security Risk Division (ISRD) are established within OSFI in 2023-24 (dp-2026, 93ae4e637109) — the NSS providing intelligence/advice on threats, the ISRD embedding integrity-and-security expectations into supervisory work.

FY2023-24 (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc): OSFI states its 2022-25 Blueprint and Strategic Plan "was fulfilled a year earlier than expected." An enterprise risk management vision, mandate, and risk-appetite statement are articulated; a 2024-27 Human Capital Strategy is developed from internal consultation. On March 26-27, 2024, OSFI hosts the first International Financial Regulators Chief Risk Officer Roundtable in Toronto. Total costs $311.7M (up 28.4%, "largely due to... expanded mandate"); FTEs 1,315 (up 28.4%).

April 1, 2024 — the 2024-27 Strategic Plan (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc): A new set of six strategic priorities takes effect: Expanded mandate – Integrity and security regime; Supervisory renewal; Culture initiatives; Data management and analytics; Critical functions; and Operational resilience. The report states plainly: "Our organization has evolved over the past few years in so many ways – in capacity, mandate, and strategic priorities, supporting the need for a new forward-looking plan."

FY2024-25 (dp-2025, 5b8874b19dd0; ar-2025, d3e6a453bed0 — partial): dp-2025 describes standing up the NSS/ISRD machinery in detail — new National Security unit, new integrity-and-security guidance/frameworks, new supervisory expectations for non-financial risk, and processes to apply "expanded intervention responsibilities." A new Supervisory Framework takes effect April 1, 2024. The "Quality of Life Framework for Canada" linkage ("Good Governance" domain / "Confidence in institutions" indicator) appears for the first time in this cycle. Planned spending $321,937,861; planned FTEs 1,298. ar-2025's only available content — a landing page, not the full report — carries a Superintendent's letter (dated October 7, 2025) describing a "rapidly evolving global risk landscape," strengthened "operational resilience," and deepening relationships "with government and industry partners to address emerging national security issues... including state-sponsored cyberattacks or foreign interference."

FY2025-26 (dp-2026, 93ae4e637109): The listed minister changes from the Honourable Chrystia Freeland (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, through dp-2025) to the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne (Minister of Finance and National Revenue) — a federal department rename, not an OSFI-specific mandate change, mirroring the same-cycle rename seen elsewhere in this brief series. Continued focus on "Delivering on Bill C-47" and the integrity/security mandate; two temporary resource increases are named — bolstering cyber infrastructure/defense/response, and modestly reinforcing supervisory capacity — alongside continued cost discipline (a further $6.3M/$8.8M reduction from "refocusing government spending," per Budget 2023). Planned spending $351,314,899 ($349,991,000 statutory + $1,323,899 voted); planned FTEs 1,303. A footnote to the FTE table states the FTE-calculation methodology was revised in this plan "to eliminate past vacancy assumptions," meaning FTE figures before and after this document are not strictly comparable on a like-for-like basis.

Priorities added, dropped, renamed

• Added — the 2022-25 Strategic Plan's six priority initiatives (Culture; Risk Strategy and Governance; Strategic Stakeholder and Partner Engagement; Policy Innovation; Supervisory Framework; Data Management and Analytics): absent from the 2019-22 four-goal framework in ar-2021 (95b5d7e8f63b); introduced via the Blueprint (Dec 2021) and formalized in the Strategic Plan released April 22, 2022 (ar-2022, 33c779430da3; ar-2023, a2b0da554825; ar-2024, e941ee9997cc).
• Added — Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Unit (May 2021) and the OSFI Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy 2022-25 (launched March 2022): both first appear in ar-2022 (33c779430da3).
• Added — Expanded mandate: Integrity and security regime, as a named strategic priority: introduced in the 2024-27 Strategic Plan effective April 1, 2024, following Bill C-47 (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc); implementation machinery (NSS, ISRD) detailed in dp-2025 (5b8874b19dd0) and dp-2026 (93ae4e637109). Not present, even as a placeholder, in dp-2023 (9b45979d92ad) or dp-2024 (f7691368452e), both pre-dating Bill C-47.
• Added — Quality of Life Framework for Canada linkage ("Good Governance" domain, "Confidence in institutions" indicator): first appears dp-2025 (5b8874b19dd0) and continues into dp-2026 (93ae4e637109); confirmed absent from dp-2023 (9b45979d92ad) and dp-2024 (f7691368452e).
• Dropped (by name) — "Strategic Stakeholder and Partner Engagement" and "Policy Innovation": both were named among the 2022-25 Strategic Plan's six priorities (ar-2023, a2b0da554825; ar-2024, e941ee9997cc, reporting on 2023-24), but neither appears among the six named priorities of the 2024-27 Strategic Plan (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc). ⚠️ Still being checked: the archived text does not state whether these were formally retired, folded into "Critical functions" / "Operational resilience," or simply re-scoped — no explicit cross-walk between the two six-priority lists is given in any archived document, so no mapping should be inferred.
• Renamed/continued — "Culture" → "Culture initiatives" and "Supervisory Framework" → "Supervisory renewal": both 2022-25 priorities recur under close variants of their names in the 2024-27 plan (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc); "Data Management and Analytics" carries over under an identical name in both plans (ar-2023, a2b0da554825; ar-2024, e941ee9997cc).
• Stable, not renamed — the Departmental Results Framework's three named results and their indicators (Composite Risk Rating distribution; IMF Financial Sector Assessment Program compliance; Basel Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme compliance): identical wording appears in dp-2023 (9b45979d92ad) and dp-2026 (93ae4e637109), the earliest and latest Departmental Plans in the archived series. Unlike the Strategic-Plan layer, this formal results-reporting layer shows no churn across the archived window.

Budget & mandate inflection points

• March 2019 — 2019-2022 OSFI Strategic Plan released, the baseline framework reported on in ar-2021 (95b5d7e8f63b).
• June 2021 — Peter Routledge appointed Superintendent, succeeding Jeremy Rudin (ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b; ar-2022, 33c779430da3).
• May 2021 — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Unit created (ar-2022, 33c779430da3).
• December 20, 2021 — "A Blueprint for OSFI's Transformation 2022-25" released (ar-2022, 33c779430da3; ar-2023, a2b0da554825).
• March 2022 — organizational-structure changes announced to align with the new Blueprint/Strategic Plan (ar-2023, a2b0da554825).
• April 22, 2022 — 2022-2025 Strategic Plan released, projecting budget growth from $212.5M (FY2021-22) to ~$290M by March 31, 2025 (ar-2023, a2b0da554825).
• June 22, 2023 — Parliament passes Bill C-47 (Budget Implementation Act, Budget 2023), expanding OSFI's mandate to cover institutions' integrity-and-security risks, including foreign interference (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc).
• 2023-24 — National Security Sector (NSS) and Integrity and Security Risk Division (ISRD) established inside OSFI to implement the expanded mandate (dp-2026, 93ae4e637109).
• January 1, 2024 — institutions become subject to the new integrity-and-security policy/procedure requirement (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc).
• FY2023-24 actual spending ($311,471,760 per dp-2026's own three-year table, or $311.7M per ar-2024) exceeded dp-2024's own FY2023-24 planned figure ($294,725,987) by roughly $17M — dp-2025 attributes the gap to higher-than-planned collective-agreement wage settlements (~$14.1M) and new-mandate costs (~$4.4M), partly offset by ~$1.0M in travel/hospitality/discretionary-services savings under Budget 2023's "refocusing government spending" exercise (dp-2024, f7691368452e; dp-2025, 5b8874b19dd0).
• April 1, 2024 — 2024-27 Strategic Plan takes effect (six new priorities, replacing the 2022-25 Strategic Plan a year ahead of its original 2025 end date); a new Supervisory Framework also takes effect this date (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc).
• FY2025-26 planned spending ($351,314,899 per dp-2026) is roughly $69M above the FY2025-26 figure dp-2024 had projected two years earlier ($282,178,156) — the archived series attributes the intervening growth chiefly to the integrity-and-security mandate build-out and, in the final document, a new temporary cyber-security investment (dp-2024, f7691368452e; dp-2026, 93ae4e637109).
• FY2025-26 (dp-2026) — minister of record changes from the Honourable Chrystia Freeland (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance) to the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne (Minister of Finance and National Revenue) — a departmental-rename effect, not an OSFI mandate change (dp-2025, 5b8874b19dd0; dp-2026, 93ae4e637109).
• dp-2026 — FTE-counting methodology revised to "eliminate past vacancy assumptions," a stated break in comparability for planned-FTE figures relative to earlier Departmental Plans (dp-2026, 93ae4e637109).

Ontario/Toronto relevance

Unlike a "none found" result, this org's archived series documents a real, substantive Ontario/Toronto footprint. OSFI maintains a physical office in Toronto as one of four Canadian office locations (Ottawa, Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver); as of March 31, 2021, OSFI employed "approximately 860 people" across these four cities (ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b; confirmed again in ar-2022, 33c779430da3, listing the same four-city footprint). dp-2024 (f7691368452e) reports that OSFI "will complete renovations in the Ottawa and Toronto offices" during 2023-24/2024-25, and that the completion of this renovation work (alongside Ottawa's) is cited as a driver of a planned reduction in Internal Services spending for 2024-25. On March 26-27, 2024, OSFI hosted the first International Financial Regulators Chief Risk Officer Roundtable in Toronto, described as "an important step in fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange within the global financial regulatory community" (ar-2024, e941ee9997cc). ar-2023 (a2b0da554825) includes a photo caption of "Superintendent Peter Routledge... leading the OSFI complement at the Toronto Pride Parade in June, 2022."

Beyond OSFI's own office presence, the archived series documents a substantive regulatory relationship with the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA): OSFI and FSRA formed a special-purpose committee (reported FY2020-21, ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b) to review their respective approaches to supervising defined-contribution pension plans and pursue "regulatory harmonization"; this Technical Advisory Committee issued a "Summary of Outcomes and Recommendations" in October 2021, OSFI and FSRA hosted a joint webinar on the findings in November 2021, and the collaboration produced a joint plain-language guide for defined-contribution plan members (all reported in ar-2022, 33c779430da3). Ontario is also named as a signatory province to both the Multilateral Agreement Respecting Pooled Registered Pension Plans and Voluntary Retirement Savings Plans (ar-2023, a2b0da554825) and the 2020 Agreement Respecting Multi-Jurisdictional Pension Plans (ar-2021, 95b5d7e8f63b). No document in the archived series ties any of this to a Toronto-specific policy priority beyond the office/roundtable/FSRA items above — the relevance here is a genuine operational and inter-regulator presence, not a policy focus on the Toronto market specifically.

Residuals & gaps

• True usable-content rate: 9 of 29 archived documents (≈31%) contain real, substantive text; the remaining 20 (≈69%) are content-free ~804-character "Information Archived on the Web" interstitial stubs from publications.gc.ca, confirmed by direct reading of each .txt file (not inferred from character counts alone). This is the exact "status: ok but not real content" failure mode this brief series has been instructed to watch for.
• One of the 9 "real" documents (ar-2025, d3e6a453bed0) is itself only a partial capture — a landing/summary page (4,044 characters) carrying the Superintendent's letter and a list of five chapter titles, but not the chapters themselves, which live on separate, un-archived subpages of osfi-bsif.gc.ca. FY2024-25 is therefore the thinnest-documented year among the 5 archived Annual Reports.
• Registry gap, not extraction failure — FY2011 and FY2012 annual reports have no row at all in our document registry for this org (not even a status: missing placeholder), distinct from the explicitly flagged 2018-2020 gap (ar-2018, ar-2019, ar-2020, archive_status: missing, ⚠️ still being checked — the web archive was unreachable when we looked) and distinct from the 20 stub-content years. Combined, this leaves effectively zero usable pre-2020 Annual Report content despite the registry nominally spanning back to 1996.
• Backgrounder ⚠️ still being checked items resolved by this series: the current Superintendent (Peter Routledge, in office since June 2021 per ar-2021/ar-2022, still Superintendent as of dp-2026 dated June 17, 2025) and the 1987 predecessor-merger history (Department of Insurance + Office of the Inspector General of Banks, merged July 2, 1987, per ar-2021 through ar-2024) are both independently confirmed in the real-content documents. Neither requires further verification on the basis of this archived series.
• ⚠️ Still being checked: whether the 2022-25 Strategic Plan's dropped "Strategic Stakeholder and Partner Engagement" and "Policy Innovation" priorities were formally retired, absorbed into the 2024-27 plan's "Critical functions"/"Operational resilience" categories, or simply dropped from the six-priority list while their underlying work continues informally — no archived document provides an explicit cross-walk between the two six-priority lists.
• ⚠️ Still being checked: outcome of the IMF Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) review that dp-2025 (5b8874b19dd0) says would "likely be conducted in 2024-25 with the final report available in 2025-26" — no archived document reports FSAP results, since dp-2026 (the series' final Departmental Plan) does not report on it and ar-2025 is only a partial capture.
• No document type other than Annual Report and Departmental Plan is present in this registry for this org — there is no Departmental Results Report, Corporate Plan, or subject-specific report type; all real content comes from the AR/DP pairing described in Series inventory above.
