The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the world, pushing the global economy into recession and forcing countries to take on nearly unprecedented levels of public debt. Discussion and debate over the pathway to economic recovery areÌýalready underway. In this context, monetary policy is a crucial policy tool.
The Bank of Canada’s mandate is up for renewal next year, and it is time to start thinking about what monetary policy in the post-pandemic era should look like.
Join ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University’s Max Bell School of Public Policy for a four-day conference, during which independent economists from across Canada, the United States, and Europe will examine the Bank’s mandate and explore the most credible options for the next phase of Canadian monetary policy.

The conference features six presentations, a keynote,Ìýand a panel discussion
This four-day conference will feature the presentation of six possible options for the renewal of the Bank of Canada’s mandate. Each option will be thoroughly examined by one author (and all papers will be available to participants). Discussants will react to each of the policy options being presented. To conclude the conference, a final panel of policy practitioners will evaluate all the options presented, and each panelist will indicate their recommendation.
The authors’ papers, discussants’ comments and a conference summary will be published in a single edited volume — the first of a series of annual conference volumes to be published by the Max Bell School of Public Policy.
