Our Approach to Monetary Policy: Inflation Targeting

Remarks David Dodge Regina Chamber of Commerce Regina, Saskatchewan
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.

Inflation Targeting in Canada: Design, Lessons, and Challenges

Remarks David Dodge Conference on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Banco de Mexico Mexico City, Mexico
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.
