Agathe Côté: Modelling risks to the financial system Remarks by Ms Agathe Côté, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, to the Canadian Association for Business Economics, Kingston, Ontario, 21 August 2012. *  *  *  Introduction It has become a summer tradition for the Bank of Canada to address the Canadian Association for Business Economics.
This year it is my pleasure and I thank you for the kind invitation. An audience of colleagues and fellow economists offers me an opportunity to delve into a complex subject, and one that is particularly timely: financial system risk. We continue to see today the enormous costs to the global economy of the financial crisis that started five years ago.
