The Canadian Dollar Occurrency
Canada is one of the most developed countries in the world, with a bolstering economy. With the U.S being Canada’s biggest trading partner and a central part of the world economy, exchange rates for many countries have been calculated by the U.S dollar. The Canadian dollar relative to the U.S dollar has fluctuated dramatically over the last half century, with the Canadian dollar for the majority of that time being weaker. Canada’s dollar reached an all time low, “January. 21st, 2002 at 61.79 cents U.S.”(http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/macquarie-loonie-forecast-1.3401644). Recently over the past few years the strength of our dollar is has been failing, looking after the great fall in 2008, due primarily by the recession, we have seen a bit

    Canada is a one of the wealthiest countries in the world but Canada didn’t just become wealthy overnight. Canada has many accomplishments and failures but the most defining moments in Canadian history were both the failures and accomplishments in the economy or economy related. The three most defining moments in Canadian history were; the stock market crash, which led to the “Great Depression”, the baby boom on the other hand led to increases in jobs during the 1960’s, and finally GST replaced “Manufacture Sales Tax” (MST) in 1990.…

    Foreign Business are extremely beneficial to the Canadian economy. Granted, they open up foreign markets and provide vast investment opportunities, the biggest benefit however, is the goods and services in which they make accessible. I deemed this factor as the most beneficial due to the fact that the Canadian market is arguably not as cheap or as expansive as some of the other prominent global markets which makes foreign goods quite valuable to our country. This is quite commonly seen, take China for example, they make up about 4.10% of our global exports and 7.10% of our imports. With that in mind, Canadian businesses have the opportunity to capitalize on the cheaper manufactured goods from China by selling their goods at a higher price in relation to their actual cost. On a small scale example, if a Canadian business were to buy 100 plates from China, costing a dollar a plate, and were to sell those plates for one dollar and fifty cents, that…

    The best way of assessing a country’s external stability is to look at the sustainability of its external accounts, in particular the country’s foreign liabilities and the CAD. Since the 1980’s Australia has persistently had a large deficit on the current account, Australia has paid out more for goods, services, income and transfer payments than it has received from overseas. As a country it is irregular to have a CAD, usually countries aim for their economy’s to generate surpluses. The CAD as a percentage of GDP is the best measure of trends in the current account over time, rather then the size of the deficit in dollar terms. In the 1970’s GDP was calculated as a percentage and the CAD averaged at 1.1%, in the 1980’s its average was 4.3%, this increase was viewed as a trade problem, and believed it resulted because of an imbalance of goods and services. This large increase on the deficit lead to major structural reforms to restore the competitiveness of the economy. Instead of being seen as a trade gap it’s now perceived to be a savings and investment gap that…

    The past four years has not been the easiest for the Canadian economy. The Sub-prime Mortgage Crisis, which hit all of the world’s major economies in late 2008, was followed immediately by the European Sovereign Debt Crisis that again hit the global economy. Canada is an integrated part of the world economy and it actively trades with all the other major economies. Therefore, it was inevitably affected by the economy…

    The decline in the CAD has been affected by what is happening to the nation’s levels of saving and investment. The level of Australia’s national investment has fallen as a share of GDP in the past year or two, dropping to 27 per cent in 2011. This is due to the falling of business investment despite the strong mining investment. Although public investment spending has recovered from its decline in earlier decades but it has dropped a bit recently. Households’ spending has also fallen back in recent years. On the other hand, the level of nation’s saving is just a bit under 25 per cent of national income (GDP), its highest since the 1980s. This is because saving by companies has been slowly trending up over the decades and at present it is at a record level of about 14 per cent of GDP. Government saving was very weak in the 1970s and 1980s but, following the deep recession of the early 1990s, strengthened to about 5 per cent of GDP. It is now back to zero as a consequence of the global financial crisis. The rate of household saving fell steadily through the 1970s to the 1990s, but began increasing sharply in the 2000s and is now back up to about 10 per cent of GDP. The decline in the CAD is therefore resulting from the decrease in the national investment and the increase in the national saving.…

    The concept of Amero is quite interesting. The main idea is to combine American and Canadian currency to one common currency call “Amero”. On the perspective of Canada, I do not think it is good idea. The scale of Canada’ economy and population is quite small compare to United States. If two country use same currency, United States probably will dominate the power of making monetary policy. As a result, many monetary policy will be designed on behalf of America’s…
