Canadian Education and Training Services Abroad [electronic Resource] : the Role of Contracts Funded by International Financial Institutions
This study examines the transfer of Canadian expertise and the sale of education commodities to countries in the developing world through projects funded by international financial institutions (IFIs). It is based on a survey of Canadian organizations engaged in education and training activities abroad. The export of education and training has great importance to Canada, from strategic and humanitarian standpoints. Yet relatively little is known about the performance of Canadian firms in this field. The Policy Research Initiative funded a small-scale survey aimed at filling one piece of the puzzle: contracts awarded to Canadians by IFIs to provide education and training to countries in the d...

Doug Peters was one of the most prominent business economists in Canada between 1966 and 1992 in his role as chief economist of the Toronto Dominion Bank.

Canada
This Financial System Stability Assessment paper discusses that Canada has enjoyed favorable macroeconomic outcomes over the past decades, and its vibrant financial system continues to grow robustly. However, macrofinancial vulnerabilities—notably, elevated household debt and housing market imbalances—remain substantial, posing financial stability concerns. Various parts of the financial system are directly exposed to the housing market and/or linked through housing finance. The financial system would be able to manage severe macrofinancial shocks. Major deposit-taking institutions would remain resilient, but mortgage insurers would need additional capital in a severe adverse scenario. Housing finance is broadly resilient, notwithstanding some weaknesses in the small non-prime mortgage lending segment. Although banks’ overall capital buffers are adequate, additional required capital for mortgage exposures, along with measures to increase risk-based differentiation in mortgage pricing, would be desirable. This would help ensure adequate through-the cycle buffers, improve mortgage risk-pricing, and limit procyclical effects induced by housing market corrections.
