The Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada, in its role as Receiver General for Canada, is responsible for the management and safeguarding of all federal government money. All funds paid to the Government of Canada are held in a central account at the Bank of Canada, known as the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF). The Receiver General uses a centralized banking system (Government Banking System or GBS) to record the inflow of funds to the CRF. Using this system, cash balances at the Bank of Canada are reviewed and approved each day by the Receiver General.
This dataset entitled “Daily Cash Balances” provides details, extracted from the GBS, of the balance and amounts held at the Bank of Canada.
Updates will be posted quarterly.
