The Washington Forum on the Canadian Economy Unveiled

Join us virtually on April 16th for the launch of the Canada Institute’s flagship economic initiative: the Washington Forum on the Canadian Economy. Co-chaired by former Finance Minister of Canada Bill Morneau and former Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve for Supervision Randal Quarles, the Forum aims to educate US policymakers, business leaders, and the public on the dynamics of the Canadian economy.

The programming will range from virtual events on niche, but critical, economic issues to major in-person gatherings with leading figures in the Canadian-US policy space. The launch event will feature a “fireside chat” conversation between Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem.

During the conversation, the two central bank leaders will share their perspectives on the economic outlook, monetary policymaking in their respective countries, and the enduring value of the Canada-US economic relationship.

Please note that in-person attendance for the general public is invitation-only. Media inquiries can be directed to Ryan.McKenna@wilsoncenter.org. Join us for this informative and insightful event as we explore the important economic issues affecting the Canada-US relationship.
