  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. My message for you is that improving the efficiency of Canada's financial system is imperative.

  Global Economic Developments and the Implications for Ontario

  Remarks David Dodge Ontario Economic Summit Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

  One theme that I heard repeatedly in Washington is that 2004 is turning out to be a better year than many had thought, particularly over the first half of the year. 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.

  Let me start with our outlook for inflation. Higher-than-expected world oil prices mean that total CPI inflation is likely to remain above 2 per cent through the rest of this year, before falling slightly below core inflation in the second half of 2005.
