  Reflections on Developments in the Canadian Financial System

  Remarks David Dodge Canadian Club of Toronto and the Empire Club of Canada Toronto, Ontario

  It has become a tradition that I deliver a speech late in the year on issues related to the financial system. When I say "financial system," I mean financial institutions and markets, together with the clearing and settlement systems through which financial assets flow.

  Opening statement David Dodge Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce

  In Canada, we were looking for weaker economic growth in the fourth quarter of this year and the first half of 2008, but some strengthening thereafter.

  In recent months, much has been said, and written, about developments in financial markets.

  Credit Market Turbulence and Policy Challenges Ahead

  Remarks David Dodge Institute of International Finance Washington, D.C.

  Given the Institute's membership and its focus on financial stability, I feel safe in saying that all of us here today watched this summer's turbulence in credit markets with interest, to put it mildly. What began in the spring as a repricing of credit risk turned into dislocations that have yet to fully run their course.
