Stephen S Poloz: Canada and Mexico - common issues in uncommon times Remarks by Mr Stephen S Poloz, Governor of the Bank of Canada, to the CanCham México and Club de Industriales, Mexico City, Mexico, 4 May 2017. * * * I would like to thank Rose Cunningham and Tatjana Dahlhaus for their help in preparing this speech.
Introduction I am thankful for the opportunity to speak with you today, as it is a good time for our two countries to be talking. It is true that nobody will ever confuse Mazatlán with Manitoba, particularly in February. But it is also true that Canada and Mexico have more in common than is usually appreciated, especially on the economic front.
