Characterizing Canada’s Export Sector by Industry: A Supply-Side Perspective Staff analytical note 2018-27 Taylor Webley This note examines supply-side trends in Canadian non-energy industries and their implications for export performance.

How does the Bank of Canada’s balance sheet impact the banking system? Staff analytical note 2022-12 Daniel Bolduc-Zuluaga, Brad Howell, Grahame Johnson We examine how changes in the Bank of Canada’s balance sheet impact the banking system.
