https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2006/12/improving-financial-system-efficiency/
The FSR reports on developments and trends in financial systems here and abroad, summarizes recent research by Bank staff on financial sector policies, and promotes discussion of how to strengthen our financial system. In short, the goal of the FSR is to improve financial system efficiency and stability.2006-12-11T09:02:54+00:00Improving Financial System Efficiency: The Need for Action2006-12-11David DodgeThe Canadian Economy and Financial Markets in Perspective

The hedge fund industry has been growing so quickly that meetings like this one are welcome—they provide a chance to step back and look at context and trends. And that's what I propose to do this morning. Specifically, I'd like to speak about volatility in both the real economy and in financial markets and discuss how it has been affected by monetary policy and financial innovation.2006-11-08T12:12:47+00:00The Canadian Economy and Financial Markets in Perspective2006-11-08David LongworthProspering in Today's Global Economy: Challenges for Open Economies such as Australia and Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2006/11/prospering-today-global-economy/
As major producers of commodities, both Canada and Australia rely heavily on international trade for our economic expansion, and we each rely extensively on global capital markets. So, what I would like to talk about first is how we see the global and Canadian economies unfolding and what we might expect to see in the future. Following that, I'll also talk about some of the policies that can best help countries like ours to deal with the challenges of today's global economy, looking at this from both a domestic and an international perspective.2006-11-06T11:52:39+00:00Prospering in Today's Global Economy: Challenges for Open Economies such as Australia and Canada2006-11-06David DodgeOpening Statement before the Senate Banking, Trade and Commerce Committee

Things have changed somewhat since then. While global economic growth is expected to be a little higher than anticipated last spring, a weaker near-term outlook for the U.S. economy has curbed the near-term prospects for Canadian exports and growth.2006-10-25T11:37:57+00:00Opening Statement before the Senate Banking, Trade and Commerce Committee2006-10-25David DodgeThe Global Economic Landscape and the Implications for Ontario

How can we develop human capital to its fullest potential, and retain that capital? How can we foster research, innovation, and commercialization in this province? How can we improve Ontario's competitiveness in the global marketplace?2006-10-25T11:22:31+00:00The Global Economic Landscape and the Implications for Ontario2006-10-25David DodgeOpening Statement before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance

In our latest Monetary Policy Report, which we released this morning, we judge that the Canadian economy is currently operating just above capacity. While global economic growth is expected to be a little higher than previously anticipated, a weaker near-term outlook for the U.S. economy has curbed the near-term prospects for Canadian exports and growth.2006-10-19T11:16:00+00:00Opening Statement before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance2006-10-19David DodgeRelease of the Monetary Policy Report

The Canadian economy is judged to be operating just above its production capacity. While global economic growth is expected to be a little higher than previously anticipated, a weaker near-term outlook for the U.S. economy has curbed the near-term prospects for Canadian exports and growth.2006-10-19T10:32:12+00:00Release of the Monetary Policy Report2006-10-19David DodgeWeathering Economic Shocks: The Importance of Flexibility
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2006/09/weathering-economic-shocks-importance-flexibility/
First, I should explain what I mean by flexibility. As most of you are surely aware, the Bank of Canada has been openly discussing the importance of promoting policies that support economic efficiency, including financial system efficiency. Efficiency refers to the allocation of scarce economic resources to the most productive uses, in a cost-effective way.2006-09-13T16:19:08+00:00Weathering Economic Shocks: The Importance of Flexibility2006-09-13Paul JenkinsProductivity, Terms of Trade, and Economic Adjustment

The Bank of Canada is keenly interested in productivity - for a number of reasons. Productivity gains are a key determinant of growth in potential output and, hence, of Canada's sustainable pace of non-inflationary economic expansion.2006-08-28T15:56:50+00:00Productivity, Terms of Trade, and Economic Adjustment2006-08-28Pierre DuguayThe Right Policies for Today's Global Economy

Canada and Brazil both rely on international trade and foreign investment for economic growth, and both are major producers of commodities. Because we share these attributes, we also share a keen interest in the health of the global economy.2006-07-20T15:46:00+00:00The Right Policies for Today's Global Economy2006-07-20David Dodge
