The Bank of Canada is the nation's central bank. Our main role is “to promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada,” as defined in the Bank of Canada Act.

Our main areas of responsibility are:

• Monetary policy: We influence the supply of money circulating in the economy, using our monetary policy framework to keep inflation low and stable.
• Financial system: We promote safe, sound and efficient financial systems, within Canada and internationally. We also conduct transactions in financial markets in support of these objectives.
• Currency: We design, issue and distribute Canada’s bank notes.
• Funds management: We are the “fiscal agent” for the Government of Canada, managing its public debt programs and foreign exchange reserves.
• Retail payments supervision: We supervise payment service providers, according to the Retail Payment Activities Act.
