Topic: Governor of the Bank of Canada


  
  Banking - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
The central bank of Canada is the Bank of Canada.
This group consists of the governor of the Bank of Canada, the senior deputy governor, and four deputy governors.
Bank failures were common; so in the early 19th century, stock-issuing banks, with a larger capital base, were encouraged as a means of stabilizing the industry.

The governor of the Bank of Canada, David Dodge, expects that the third quarter of 2001 will be one of little growth, or possibly a slight decline.
The Conference Board of Canada, in a report released September 21, estimated that Canada's GDP will shrink by a 0.5 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of this year.
The Bank of Canada cut interest rates by half a percentage point on the day of the attack and bank governor Dodge appears to be willing to cut interest rates further should the economy need more liquidity.

 Canadian Finance Ministry Pulling Bank Strings as Election Looms
On its record, neither can the Bank of Canada be accused of waging the good fight, with the result that amidst an ostensible economic boom the Canadian dollar continues to flail.
The central bank and the banks, yes, with government imprimatur, are engaged in a process of issuing paper notes uncovered by real assets (money).
With fractional reserve banking, the bank is only good for a fraction of the money, since the Central Bank increases the reserves it gives to banks, and the banks, in turn, pyramid their respective lending capabilities.

 Straight, Hardhitting Talk from a Former Governor of the Bank of Canada
Unlike past Governors who vanished into closed-lip retirement at the end of their terms, Crow does not hesitate to criticize the Bank of Canada and the government's current approach to monetary policy when they fail to meet his high expectations.
The Bank of Canada under John Crow's tutelage was successful in bringing inflation down to below 2 per cent in 1992 and 1993, perhaps too successful as inflation continued to fall averaging around zero in 1994.
Crow also worries that the Bank of Canada has lost an important element of its independence now that its objectives are set by the Government of the Day, leaving it only with a much less important "instrument independence" to set monetary policy to meet inflation targets.

David Dodge, the Governor of the Bank of Canada.
Since the bank raised its trend-setting overnight rate by a quarter-point to 4.25 per cent last month but indicated it was ready to end its seven-hike series of increases, economic statistics have been volatile.
But the bank's April forecast of two per cent inflation in 2007 and 2008 should hold, excluding temporary effects from the July reduction in the GST, he said.

 Opening statement by David Dodge Governor of the Bank of Canada
The Bank judges that these risks are roughly balanced, with a small tilt to the downside later in the projection period, related to a possible disorderly correction of global imbalances.
We consider this risk to be slightly smaller than previously judged, given the tentative signs of policy adjustments in some countries and of rotation in global demand.
In line with the Bank's outlook for the Canadian economy and its current assessment of risks, some modest further increase in the policy interest rate may be required to keep aggregate supply and demand in balance and inflation on target over the medium term.

 CANADIAN CAPITAL MARKETS WEEKLY
The Governor of the Bank of Canada presented the semi-annual Monetary Policy Report this past week and, as usual, left a lot to the imagination about what might happen to interest rates.
The Bank indicated that it seemed likely that further action to reduce monetary stimulus will be required between now and the next semi-annual report in six months.
The Bank indicated the Canadian dollar's current softness was temporary and this reinforces my view that the Bank will not defend the currency with higher interest rates.

 The Central Bank's Game is the Same, Whoever's the Name
The economy, claimed one of the minister's deputies, has ample room to grow before inflation becomes a concern, the subtext, of course, being that a hike would be "politically unpopular." The only newsworthy item, of course, was the surprise expressed by the reporter that government should consider interfering with monetary policy.
Less in the realm of subterfuge is the news that there are two new candidates under consideration for position of head honcho at the Bank of Canada.
Why then is this any less true of the reign over the money of Federal Reserve Bank chairman Alan Greenspan or his Canadian counterparts who trail with their own raft of abuses, not lease the manipulation of growth rates and unemployment rates.

 CorpWatch : CANADA: Bank of Canada Governor Dodge Testifies at JTI Tobacco Hearing
David Dodge, governor of the Bank of Canada, testified at a hearing in a smuggling case against defendants including JTI-Macdonald Corp., after prosecutors tried to keep him and 12 other defense witnesses off the stand.
Dodge, deputy minister of finance from 1992 to 1997, told investigators ``he had no reason to believe in 1992 to 1997 that JTI was involved in the smuggling of tobacco products,'' defense lawyer Scott Fenton said last week in an appeals court filing.
JTI-Macdonald, three Reynolds American Inc. units and eight former and current executives are charged with defrauding Canada of C$1.2 billion ($1 billion) in taxes and duties through cigarette-smuggling.

 Economic slowdown will be mild and short: Bank of Canada governor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
OTTAWA (CP) - The economy will slow this year, but domestic spending will still drive growth, even in Ontario, which is most vulnerable to a U.S. slowdown, the governor of the Bank of Canada said Wednesday.
The bank has already lowered its forecast for national economic growth to 2.8 per cent this year, 2.5 per cent next year and 2.8 per cent for 2008.
While growth in Ontario and Quebec has slowed because of the squeeze on the manufacturing sector, caused in part by rising energy costs and a high Canadian dollar, oil and natural gas-rich western provinces such as Alberta and British Columbia are growing above the national average and face worker shortages while generating soaring retail sales.
