August 12, 1999 Recent Developments in Global Commodity Prices: Implications for Canada Bank of Canada Review - Summer 1999 Farid Novin, Gerald Stuber The authors examine the recent evolution of commodity prices. They discuss the factors behind the price declines that occurred between the summer of 1997 and the end of 1998, including the key supply factors and the drop in Asian demand caused by that region's concurrent financial and economic crisis.
