3 Role of Fiscal Policy in Stabilizing the Economy 3
4 In addition to automatic stabilizers, large discretionary stimulus measures were implemented in response to the largest global recession since the 1930s Discretionary Measures in 2009 and 2010, G7 countries Per cent of GDP Canada Japan USA Germany UK France Italy Sources: IMF, The State of Public Finances Cross-country Fiscal Monitor, November IMF estimates exclude loans, including those to the auto sector, for all countries. Figure for Canada includes provincial-territorial stimulus in addition to that assumed in the Economic Action Plan as estimated by the Department of Finance Canada. 4
5 The effectiveness of fiscal policy in stabilizing the economy depends on several factors Response of monetary authority Accommodation Zero-bound constraint Degree of leakage (imports and savings) Degree to which consumers are forward looking Perceived fiscal position (sustainability) Speed of implementation 5
6 Canada s stimulus plan is well-diversified and structured for maximum effectiveness IMF, May % 15% Reducing the Tax Burden Employment Insurance and Training Support for R&D 9% 33% Infrastructure and Housing Support for Industries and Communities 30% An additional $200 billion to improve access to financing i Note: Figures do not include provincial, territorial or municipal leverage. Measures to support research and development include infrastructure improvements to colleges and universities. Measures to support industries and communities include targeted reductions to corporate income tax announced as part of the Economic Action Plan in Budget Source: Budget 2010 Canada s Economic Action Plan, Year 2
7 Prudent fiscal multipliers were used in assessing the impact of the stimulus 2.0 Dollar impact (after 8 quarters) on the level of real GDP of a one-dollar increase in fiscal measures Measures for low- income households and the unemployed Infrastructure/housing investment Personal income tax measures 7
8 Design and situation suggest high effectiveness The sustainable fiscal situation, the composition of the stimulus and its rapid implementation contributed to its effectiveness Widespread global actions limited import leakages Fiscal policy should have led to crowding-in effects with the policy interest rate essentially at zero and with forward-looking agents See NBER Working Paper When is the Government Spending Multiplier li Large? by Christiano, Eichenbaum and Rebelo, October,

27 Lessons Learned from Canada s Fiscal Consolidation of the mid-1990s 1. Credible plans must be developed and communicated early Measures well identified Prudent economic assumptions Under-promise/over-achieve 2. Initiate consolidation as soon as possible - don t be too gradual and allow monetary policy to play its macrostabilization role 3. Focus on spending reductions and measures that will increase potential growth What does this mean for the current situation? ti 27
28 Canada s Exit Strategy 28
29 Budget 2009 implemented temporary stimulus and early actions to secure sound long-run fiscal position Temporary Action Plan stimulus, concentrated in 2009 and 2010 Permanent actions to maintain i sound structural t finances: Reforms to Equalization to ensure sustainability Better managed federal compensation regime Reviews of departmental spending and corporate assets 29
30 Budget 2010 builds on Budget 2009 early actions by setting out a 3-point plan to return to budget balance Follow through on the exit strategy in the Economic Action Plan by ensuring that temporary stimulus is wound down by the end of this fiscal year Targeted measures to restrain direct program spending growth that t build over the medium term Comprehensive review of government administrative functions and overhead costs 30
31 Budget 2010 track to return to balance Projected Federal Budgetary Deficit billions of dollars Withdrawal of stimulus reduces deficit by half Impact of Budget 2010 Measures Source: Budget
32 Conclusion Fiscal policy has very different impacts in normal and exceptional economic circumstances Discretionary stimulus actions taken were necessary, appropriate and worked Consolidating in aftermath th of crisis i as important t as stimulus actions Markets already demanding commitment to reduced public debt and improve fiscal sustainability Lessons from Canadian experience 32
