  Meeting Global Challenges: The Importance of Sound Economic Policies

  Remarks David Dodge Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce London, United Kingdom

  We are facing a time of great economic and political uncertainty. While economic activity is close to potential in Canada, most other countries are facing very weak demand and lacklustre economic prospects. And, of course, there is the overriding prospect of a war in Iraq.

  Promoting Canada's Economic and Financial Welfare

  Remarks David Dodge Calgary Chamber of Commerce Calgary, Alberta

  It's been a difficult year for many sectors of the Alberta economy. Certainly, the severe drought hurt many western farmers, and investment in the energy sector was held back by low oil and gas prices. In addition, the slump in the telecom sector has affected Calgary.

  Staying the Course

  Remarks David Dodge a panel discussion at the Banco de México Mexico City, Mexico

  The Search for Higher Productivity

  Remarks David Dodge Chambre de commerce de Québec Québec, Québec

  Given the extent of uncertainty in the world today, we are all naturally preoccupied with near-term issues and prospects. That's understandable. But, at the same time, it's critical that we look past the short-term to the longer-term trends and potential of our economy.

  Dollarization and North American Integration

  Remarks David Dodge Chambre de commerce du Québec Sherbrooke, Quebec

  The question before us sounds straightforward: "Should Canada adopt the U.S. dollar?" But the issues are complicated. I will not pretend that I can cover all the nuances of this topic in my allotted time. So I am running the risk that I may oversimplify matters.

  Remarks David Dodge Symposium sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Jackson Hole, Wyoming

  What I propose to do on this panel today is to talk about stabilization policy and policy co-operation from the viewpoint of an industrial country that has a floating exchange rate and both an explicit inflation target for monetary policy and a clear objective for fiscal policy.

  Trust, Transparency, and Financial Markets

  Remarks David Dodge Greater Halifax Partnership Halifax, Nova Scotia

  But first, I would like to address an important subject; that is, how to promote the efficient operation of Canada's financial markets.
