  Where the Economy and Finance Meet

  Remarks Jean Boivin Okanagan CFA Society and UBC Okanagan (Faculty of Management) Kelowna, British Columbia

  Looking Back, Moving Forward: Canada and Global Financial Reform

  Remarks Mark Carney International Center for Monetary and Banking Studies Geneva, Switzerland

  There is an old saying, “Knowledge is gained from experience, and experience is gained from mistakes.” In Canada, we made our mistakes early and often in the 1970s and 1980s. Our fiscal situation deteriorated sharply, inflation surged to double-digit levels, and a few small regional banks collapsed.

  Release of the Monetary Policy Report

  Opening statement Mark Carney Ottawa, Ontario

  The global economic recovery is entering a new phase. In advanced economies, temporary factors supporting growth in 2010, such as the inventory cycle and pent-up demand, have largely run their course and fiscal stimulus will shift to fiscal consolidation over the projection horizon.
