Celebrating 75 years

Born in the worst years of the Great Depression, and guiding Canada's economy ever since, the Bank of Canada turned 75 on 11 March 2010. As the country's central bank and one of our most vital national institutions, the Bank has a broad monetary policy mandate from Parliament to foster the economic and financial well-being of all Canadians.
