As Minister of Transport, he oversaw the restructuring of the Canadian airline industry and authored a major policy document, Straight Ahead, which continues to chart the course for Canadian transportation policy. However the most challenging period of his career was in overseeing Canada’s response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, which resulted in the closing of Canada’s skies and the emergency landing of 226 wide-bodied jets at aiports principaly on the east coast. In the subsequent months he worked tirelessly with colleagues and his US counterpart Norman Minetta to redesign transportation security in North America. He is Chair of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (North America) and Vice-president, CILT International; Vice-President, Winston Churchill Society (Ottawa).

    WP/07/14 China: Strengthening Monetary Policy Implementation Bernard J. Laurens and Rodolfo Maino © 2007 International Monetary Fund WP/07/14 IMF Working Paper Monetary and Capital Markets Department China: Strengthening Monetary Policy Implementation Prepared by Bernard J. Laurens and Rodolfo Maino1 Authorized for distribution by Peter Stella January 2007 Abstract This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the IMF. The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. The People’s Bank of China (PBC) has made great strides in modernizing its monetary policy frameworks but their effectiveness will diminish as the sophistication of the economy increases. Empirical evidence supports maintaining a reference to money in China’s monetary strategy and enhancing the role of interest rates in its conduct. We advocate adoption of an eclectic strategy involving the monitoring of several indicators, and of a short-term interest rate as the operational target. The PBC should be granted discretion to change its policy rate, and there are no technical obstacles for such a move to occur in the near future. JEL Classification: E42, E52, E58 Keywords: Monetary policy, money demand, multipliers, monetary policy instruments. Authors’ E-Mail Address: [email protected] ; [email protected] 1 A preliminary version of the paper was prepared for a course at the Joint IMF-China Training Center on “Determining the Intermediate Target for Monetary Policy: Practical Issues,” Dalian (China), June 19–22, 2006.
