Kronick To: Canada’s Financial Regulators and Policymakers Date: April 11, 2018 Re: Unleashing Productivity Gains in Financial Services Productivity improvement is considered the primary driver of economic growth in advanced countries because labour and capital are finite and generate diminishing returns as their utilization increases.

Feldman – The Many Benefits of Longer Mortgages
From: Michael K. Feldman To: Mortgage Policymakers Date: March 13, 2018 Re: The Many Benefits of Longer Mortgages Canadian residential mortgages could be improved if borrowers continue to have a penalty-free right of redemption at least every five years without requiring that the mortgage matures at least every five years.

As was widely expected, the Bank of Canada announced on Wednesday that it was not changing its target overnight rate. Despite the announcement reinforcing expectations, the emphasis on caution was enough to knock more than a half a cent off the value of the Canadian dollar before the end of Wednesday morning. With uncertainty on the horizon for 2018, the year promises to be a challenging one for our central bankers – one that will require market guidance.

The IMF will return soon for an update assessment. So the question is, how are we doing?
As argued in a recent C.D. Howe Institute paper, Canadians should expect a higher level of preparedness from all relevant federal and provincial…
