Adjusting to Global Economic Change
Remarks
David Dodge
An event hosted by the Center for Financial Stability and the Canadian Embassy
Buenos Aires, Argentina

But despite that distance, Canada and Argentina are closer, and have more in common, than you might think. We are both federations, with a certain natural tension between the national government and relatively powerful provinces.

I will talk about our efforts to adjust to longer-term economic forces and about the challenges that these forces present. Some of our experiences may be relevant to other economies that are making similar adjustments in the face of similar economic circumstances.
