https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/12/approach-monetary-policy-inflation-targeting/
This year also marks the 70th anniversary of the creation of the Bank of Canada, and we too have taken the time to celebrate our contributions to Canada. At such times, while it is appropriate to look back and celebrate history and accomplishments, it is also a good opportunity to look forward and think about where we are headed. In this spirit, I'd like to talk to you today about one of our main responsibilities; that is, the conduct of monetary policy.2005-12-12T14:41:38+00:00Our Approach to Monetary Policy: Inflation Targeting2005-12-12David DodgeInvesting in Productivity
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/11/investing-in-productivity/
Measures of productivity tell us how much output we produce from the use of tangible inputs - such as skilled workers and capital equipment - and intangible inputs - such as technological advances and managerial and entrepreneurial know-how. Productivity rises over time as we boost output by finding new and more efficient ways to use these inputs.2005-11-28T14:22:49+00:00Investing in Productivity2005-11-28David DodgeInflation Targeting in Canada: Design, Lessons, and Challenges
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/11/inflation-targeting-canada-design-lessons-challenges/
Today, I want to share with all of you Canada's perspective on the design of an inflation-targeting system, some of the lessons we have learned over almost 15 years of experience with explicit inflation targets, and some of the challenges that remain. This topic is timely, because the Bank of Canada's inflation-targeting agreement with the Canadian government is up for renewal next year, and I am pleased to note that, earlier today, the Government announced its intention to renew our agreement for another five years.2005-11-14T13:42:55+00:00Inflation Targeting in Canada: Design, Lessons, and Challenges2005-11-14David DodgeEconomic and Financial Efficiency: The Importance of Pension Plans
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/11/economic-financial-efficiency-importance-pension-plans/
Over the past year, I have spoken a number of times on the topic of efficiency, and why it is so important for Canadian policy-makers to keep in mind the goal of an efficient financial system. Today, I want to talk about Canada's system of pension plans and how they contribute to the efficiency of financial markets and of the economy as a whole.2005-11-09T13:18:55+00:00Economic and Financial Efficiency: The Importance of Pension Plans2005-11-09David DodgeInternational symposium of the Banque de France

As globalization intensifies, more and more regions are realizing the benefits of open trade and capital account liberalization. But with increased globalization also comes increased exposure to shocks originating outside each country's borders.2005-11-04T13:07:00+00:00International symposium of the Banque de France2005-11-04David DodgeRCMP management retreat
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/10/rcmp-management-retreat/
It's not surprising that the Bank of Canada is interested in promoting economic integrity. After all, the Bank of Canada Act mandates us, as far as possible within the scope of monetary policy action, to "promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada."2005-10-25T16:56:59+00:00RCMP management retreat2005-10-25David DodgeFinancial System Efficiency: Getting the Regulatory Framework Right
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/09/financial-system-efficiency-getting-regulatory-framework-right/
The Bank of Canada has been contributing to the goal of an efficient financial system in a number of ways. The Bank's monetary policy aims to keep inflation low, stable, and predictable.2005-09-22T12:01:27+00:00Financial System Efficiency: Getting the Regulatory Framework Right2005-09-22David DodgeThe Evolution and Resolution of Global Imbalances
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/09/evolution-resolution-global-imbalances/
Today, I will talk about two types of global economic imbalances. The first relates to the way that savings and investment are being distributed across countries in an increasingly uneven way. The second is the possibility that, over the next couple of decades, the global economy might face a protracted period in which desired savings exceed planned investment, partly because of demographic trends.2005-09-09T11:53:33+00:00The Evolution and Resolution of Global Imbalances2005-09-09David DodgeThe International Monetary Order and the Canadian Economy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/06/international-monetary-order-canadian-economy/
As business people with ties to Canada and the United Kingdom, you are keenly interested in the economic prospects of both countries. When we look closely at our economies, it is striking how much they have in common in terms of policies and outlook.2005-06-28T10:10:36+00:00The International Monetary Order and the Canadian Economy2005-06-28David DodgeAdjusting to Change
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/06/adjusting-to-change/
Change is the central theme of my remarks today. First, I will talk about some of the changes that have taken place at the Bank of Canada over its 70-year history. Then, I'll talk about some of the changes that are currently taking place in the global economy, as well as how we see our economy - across Canada and right here in Manitoba - adjusting to these changes.2005-06-15T09:47:50+00:00Adjusting to Change2005-06-15David Dodge
