As the COVID-19 pandemic drives the economy into recession, the U.S. Federal Reserve responded with aggressive monetary policy measures by decreasing interest rates and committing trillions of dollars to rescue financial markets. This raised concerns around the world, with economies being forced to adopt the Fed’s playbook.

Howe Institute’s webinar on June 11 to hear Greg Ip, Chief Economics Commentator at The Wall Street Journal examine the economic implications of such policy response on the road to an eventual recovery and David Dodge, Senior Advisor, Bennett Jones LLP; Former Governor, Bank of Canada, provide comments on his remarks.
