  Financial System Efficiency: A Canadian Imperative

  Remarks David Dodge Empire Club of Canada and the Canadian Club of Toronto Toronto, Ontario

  When I talk about the "financial system," I am referring to financial institutions and markets, the infrastructure, laws, and regulations that govern and support their operations, and the macroeconomic framework within which they operate.

Indeed, the IMF is now projecting global economic growth of 5 per cent in 2004, which would be a marked improvement from the 3.9 per cent rate seen in 2003.
