Bank of Canada / La Banque du Canada

The Bank of Canada has served as the country's monetary authority since 1935, working to promote Canadians' economic and financial well-being by preserving confidence in the value of money through low, stable, and predictable inflation, setting short-term interest rate targets that influence other rates and saving and investment decisions, promoting a safe and efficient financial system, designing and distributing Canada's bank notes, and serving as the federal government's banker by helping manage public debt programs and foreign exchange reserves. Its head office reflects the capital's architectural evolution, with the original granite building opened in 1938 remaining at the complex's core, major expansion in the 1970s adding two glass office towers and a large indoor atrium, and a major renewal completed in 2016 including redesign of the plaza on the building's east side. The Bank of Canada Museum within the complex offers visitors a way to learn about the institution's role in the Canadian economy and to view artifacts from the National Currency Collection.
