https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2001/01/canada-economic-future-what-have-we-learned/
In early 1994, Canada's economic situation was not that favourable - our economy was facing some rather serious problems. Today, too, we face some challenges. But our overall economic and financial situation is much stronger now than it was seven years ago.2001-01-22T14:07:08+00:00Canada's Economic Future: What Have We Learned from the 1990s?2001-01-22Gordon ThiessenWhy a Floating Exchange Rate Regime Makes Sense for Canada

One of the issues that has often surfaced over the years is the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar. Indeed, over the past couple of years, it has been a topic of considerable public discussion.2000-12-04T10:10:24+00:00Why a Floating Exchange Rate Regime Makes Sense for Canada2000-12-04Gordon ThiessenRelease of the Monetary Policy Report

This morning we released our latest Monetary Policy Report. In the six months since the May Report, our economy has outperformed expectations, spurred by strong domestic and foreign demand for Canadian products. We now expect that growth will average 5 per cent in 2000 and 3 to 4 per cent in 2001. Despite this stronger-than-anticipated […]2000-11-09T12:05:55+00:00Release of the Monetary Policy Report2000-11-09Gordon ThiessenCan a Bank Change?

Over this period, there has been a fundamental transformation in the way monetary policy is conducted in Canada and in most other industrial countries. While globalization and technological change have played an important role in this area, as in so many others, they have not, to my mind, been the principal driving force behind this transformation. Far more important has been the interaction of experience and economic theory.2000-10-17T12:28:29+00:00Can a Bank Change?

The 1990s was a difficult period for Canada and the Canadian economy. From the beginning of the decade, it was clear that we had to grapple with the problems that had been hampering our economic performance through most of the 1970s and 1980s.2000-04-26T10:24:36+00:00The Canadian Economy: Charting a Course for the Future2000-04-26Gordon Thiessen
