The Bank Rate

Thursday, July 28th, 2011


The “floating” Bank Rate was set each week at one-quarter of one percentage point above the rate of interest on Treasury Bills. Thus, if the rate of interest on Treasury Bills was 11.25 percent, the Bank Rate for that week would be 11.50 percent. As a result, the Bank Rate would change each week, depending on changes in short-term interest rates in general and in the interest rate on Treasury Bills in particular.

This does not mean, however, that the Bank Rate merely follows short-term interest rates and has lost its significance as a signal regarding the Bank of Canada’s monetary policy. The Bank of Canada is still in a position to influence the interest rate on Treasury Bills and thus the Bank Rate, and the weekly movements of the Bank Rate and the Bank of Canada’s efforts to influence it are regarded as significant by economists and financial observers. Since many interest rates are based on the Bank Rate, changes in the Bank Rate are usually forerunners of changes in interest rates on loans to consumers and businesses.

Canadian Microeconomics:Problems and Policies

Sunday, July 11th, 2010


This idea is reinforced further by the fact that many directors serve on the boards of several companies, in what are called “interlocking directorships,” which tends to magnify their influence further. About one-quarter of Canadian corporate directors have significant “interlocking” connections, many of which are effected through Canada’s large and powerful chartered banks, as senior personnel from large corporations often serve on the boards of the banks and vice versa. There are different views concerning the significance of this so-called corporate business elite, with some observers feeling reassured by the stability and judgment that it provides, others seeing in it something threatening and sinister, and still others doubting whether its significance with respect to the actual operational decisions of Canada’s major corporations is as great as is often supposed.

Regardless of which of these views is the more accurate, it can be said in conclusion that large corporations play a very important role in the Canadian economy, even greater relatively to the size of the economy than in the USA, and that in these large corporations, control is often separated from ownership. Widespread small shareholders are not in a position to exercise active control. As a result, control tends to shift, depending on the circumstances, to the top management of the corporation or to the groups of influential members of the Board of Directors. Generally, neither top managers nor directors are major shareholders in their corporation; their claim to control over the corporation is based on their expertise rather than on ownership.

What Problems Could Excessive Deficits Cause?

Monday, January 18th, 2010


That depends largely on how the budget deficits are financed. If they are financed by printing money, there is a real danger that rapid increases in the volume of money in circulation (the “money supply”) will cause rapid inflation. This is the most obvious danger in excessive budget deficits, and the one with which most observers are familiar. However, there is another, more subtle, danger in excessive budget deficits: they can also contribute to slow economic growth, or economic “stagnation.”

The Perils of Budget Deficits

Budget deficits can be likened to drinking liquor, in that if they are properly timed and used in appropriate quantities, they will not be harmful and in fact can be beneficial. However, as with liquor, excessive budget deficits can have severe side effects, including a “hangover” of severe inflation accompanied by stagnation, or “stagflation.” And, like a hangover, it can be considerably easier to get into this situation than it is to get out of it.
