Amplifying our impact

To be a leading central bank, we must work beyond our own walls—taking a big-picture view as we move our priorities forward. That means ensuring our messages reach the people we are working for so that they better understand what we do and how it affects their own plans and choices. As we nurture relationships with the Bank’s domestic and international partners, we will focus on areas where we can lead, leveraging our strengths to collaborate and promote greater economic and financial stability for Canadians.

Government of Canada Yield-Curve Dynamics, 1986-2003

A database of historical Government of Canada zero-coupon yield curves developed at the Bank of Canada is introduced in this article, which also includes an initial statistical analysis of the behaviour and evolution of the zero-coupon interest (spot) rates over the full period and two distinct subperiods. Specific areas of interest include the evolution of the levels of key interest rates and yield-curve measures over the sample as well as daily changes in the key interest rates and the yield-curve measures; the identification of a relatively small number of factors that drove the evolution of the yield curve; and the total returns that would have been realized by holding bonds of different maturities for a given holding period.
