How do we take better-informed actions to reinforce Canadians’ trust?
Effective, evidence-based policy decisions require insights deepened by understanding. We will listen to Canadians’ diverse perceptions and concerns. At the same time, we will work hard to clearly explain the intent and relevance of the Bank’s objectives and what is needed to achieve them. More than ever, we are focused on turning insights into actions that inspire confidence.

Improve our decision making by being better listeners

How we’ll measure success
