ABOUT THE BANK OF CANADA
The Bank of Canada (BOC) was founded as Canada’s central bank in 1934 and opened its doors in March 1935. In 1938, the BOC became a Crown corporation belonging to the federal government, and though the Bank of Canada Act has been amended several times, but the preamble to the Act has not change, and the Bank of Canada still exists "to regulate credit and currency in the best interests of the economic life of the nation."

The Bank of Canada's core areas of responsibility are:

• Monetary policy: the BOC influences the supply of money circulating in the economy, using monetary policy framework to keep inflation low and stable.
• Financial systems: the BOC promotes safe, sound and efficient financial systems, within Canada and internationally, and conducts transactions in financial markets in support of these objectives.
• Currency: the BOC designs, issues, and distributes Canada’s bank notes.
• Funds management: the BOC is the “fiscal agent” for the Government of Canada, managing its public debt programs and foreign exchange reserves.
• Retail payments supervision: the BOC supervises payment service providers according to the Retail Payment Activities Act.
