Monetary Conditions ...During the first six months of the year. banks were faced with a sub- stanlial increasc in customers' crcdit needs. but the banking system CONRAD F. HARRINGTON found it easy enough to meet this demand. sincc the central Bank was prepared to increase the money sup- ply. Thanks to the expansionary policy adopted by authorities, char- tcrcd banks were not required to reduce significantly their investment portfolios, while intcrcst rates were rather stable for that period on both short and long term bond markets. With the mouth of May. however, it hci-nmc obvious the expansion of thc moncy supply had been rhcckcd and the. banks. in ordcr to meet the crcdil rcquircnicnts of the economy, ltlfl to rcilui-c lhcir portfolios. This shift had hardly hcguntotukc shape when the financial crisis already rcfcrrcd to broke out. In the arca of monetary policy. austerity took the form of a contraction of more than 8600 millions in the money supply. As a rcsult of the corre- sponding reduction in their assets. ban '5 as a wlmlc did disposc of about onc qunrtcr of their Covcrn- nicnt of Canada scruritv holdings in ll‘ss than three months and had to limit appreciably the growth of credits.

Sinrc thcn, the liquidity of the banking svstcm has iiuprovcd mar- kcdlv. interest rates have fallen al- most to their previous lcvcls and banks arc again in a position to meet all lt‘gilimatc (‘rcdil require- ments. Monetary policy should now rcvcrt to its traditional obit’ctivc. i.c. it should. in thc rircumstanccs. aim to promote economic expansion and. hv influencing the levels of interest rates, to induce business- mcn to undertake capital cxpcndi- lures. At this particular iuncturc. lhc ccnnomy could not rasilv absorb an inrrcasc in credit costs. While making this statement. we remain fullv aware of the problems and limitations of monr-tarv policy. as we had occasion to point out in the past. Capital lnvcslmcnls It is gi'ncrallv cxpcctcd that Iihr States will slow down at the begin- ning of 1963. and this could affect . In both countries, the basic problem is one of investments... Since 1957. both countries have found it difficult to increase their capital investment at a satisfactory rate. and this accounts largely for a lack of optimism in various quar- ters. The contrast between the Ame- rican economy. which is Mging, and the European economy. whose rapid growth has stunned the World. has led both business and grwernment, in Canada as well as in the United States. to question some of the principles by who they have been guided in the pasL This explains, for instance. the ac- ' ' ich seek to amend the whole in b i Summary of address by the President of The Provincial Bank of Canada, Mr. .l.-U.

In line. with this is the interest shown in various quar- ters for planning and for new eco. nomic structures. While. public opinion is more and more conscious of this acute problem. the search for a definite and concrete program has not so far made much progress. All concerned should now make it a point to share in the. urgent task of economic renovation.
