International Financial Architecture and the Resolution of Financial Crises
Remarks
David Dodge
Canadian Club of Ottawa and the Canadian Institute of International Affairs
Ottawa, Ontario

The terrorist attacks in September created a great deal of uncertainty, and so the Bank of Canada, like the U.S. Federal Reserve, provided an extraordinary amount of stimulus by aggressively lowering interest rates.
