Abstract

The Bank of Canada should consider publicly disclosing the discussions and dissenting opinions of members of its interest-rate-setting committee, according to a new C.D. Howe Institute report. In “Good Governance of Monetary Policy in Canada: Lessons from the C.D. Howe Institute’s Shadow Council,” authors Pierre Siklos and Matthias Neuenkirch argue that the existing governance structure of the Bank is out of step with international practices that have spread quickly over the past decade.
