When giving a speech near the end of a year, it is common practice to look back over the past 12 months, consider what we have learned from the events and experiences of the year, and think a bit about what might lie ahead. I became Governor of the Bank of Canada in 2001 and, since that time, I have found myself saying at the end of each year, "Well, we won't see another year like that again."2003-12-08T15:56:36+00:00Past Adjustments and Future Trends in the Canadian Economy2003-12-08David DodgeLow and Predictable Inflation and the Performance of Canadian Labour Markets

The goal of Canadian monetary policy is to contribute to solid economic performance and rising living standards. The best way we can do this is by keeping inflation low, stable, and predictable. This has important implications for labour market performance.2003-11-20T10:10:07+00:00Low and Predictable Inflation and the Performance of Canadian Labour Markets2003-11-20David DodgeGlobal Challenges, Canadian Opportunities

It is certainly nothing new to say that economies have become increasingly globalized. In his 1962 book, The Gutenberg Galaxy, Marshall McLuhan observed that the electronic mass media were collapsing time and space barriers. This enabled people to communicate on a global scale. He coined the term "global village" to describe this change.2003-11-17T09:48:23+00:00Global Challenges, Canadian Opportunities2003-11-17David DodgeOn Economic Education

The program this evening focuses on the value of public service and the importance of economic and financial literacy for the well-being of Canadians. These two themes have special significance for me, as my career has involved time spent in the public service as well as teaching.2003-11-03T15:03:15+00:00On Economic Education2003-11-03David DodgeOpening Statement before the Senate Banking, Trade and Commerce Committee

The last time that I appeared before this committee was after the release of our April Report. Since then, our economy has been hit by a number of unusual shocks. Because of these shocks and other factors, growth has been weaker than expected. We now estimate that there is more slack in the economy than we had projected in April.2003-10-23T14:56:06+00:00Opening Statement before the Senate Banking, Trade and Commerce Committee2003-10-23David DodgeRelease of the Monetary Policy Report

Since our April Report, the Canadian economy has been hit by a number of unusual shocks: SARS, BSE, the Ontario electricity blackout, and the severe forest fires in British Columbia. Inflation has also fallen faster and further than expected.2003-10-22T14:49:29+00:00Release of the Monetary Policy Report2003-10-22David DodgeOpening Statement before the House of Commons Finance Committee

The last time that Paul and I appeared before this committee was after the release of our April Report. At that time, inflation was well above its 2 per cent target, and short-term inflation expectations had edged up. Although inflation was being pushed up by special factors, there were also signs that strong domestic demand was working to broaden pressures on prices.2003-10-22T14:15:51+00:00Opening Statement before the House of Commons Finance Committee2003-10-22David DodgeFostering Confidence

It's great to be back in Vancouver and to renew acquaintances at the Board of Trade. I'm going to spend some time today discussing the Bank of Canada's outlook for the Canadian economy and inflation, and how we are responding. But in order to understand the current economic situation, we need to look at some of the extraordinary events of the past year or so and how those events have affected the economy.2003-09-10T12:37:14+00:00Fostering Confidence2003-09-10David DodgeSpruce Meadows Roundtable

Canada's reliance on foreign trade has required us to be active internationalists for decades. Louis Rasminsky, who went on to become Governor of the Bank of Canada, was one of Canada's delegates at the Bretton Woods Conference that led to the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Rasminsky played an important role, formal and informal, at the talks.2003-09-05T12:24:53+00:00Spruce Meadows Roundtable2003-09-05David DodgeEconomic Integration in North America

For more than 70 years now, the Couchiching Institute on Public Affairs has been bringing Canadians together with the purpose of asking some thought-provoking questions and encouraging lively, stimulating debates and action on a variety of key public policy issues.2003-08-07T12:06:55+00:00Economic Integration in North America2003-08-07David Dodge
