The Challenges for Canadian Monetary Policy in the Year 2000
Remarks
Gordon Thiessen
the Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

International developments and the prospects for the Canadian economy

World economic activity had strengthened and was expected to accelerate further, with the benefit of low inflation, reduced fiscal imbalances, and stable or declining interest rates. In Canada too, output and employment growth had picked up.
