Canadian Economist Lectures at CCS
2015年06月12日  

October 14, 2014—On October 14, Canadian former senior tax officer, Donald Drummond, recommended by Consulate General of Canada in Guangzhou, gave a lecture with the theme of “The influence of TPP on APEC and FTAAP” at GDUFS.

   

He began the lecture with the economic differences between Canada and U.S. and also briefly introduced the features of Canada’s economy and foreign trade. He emphasized that Canada’s economy is not exactly the same as the economy of U.S. by showing some of Canada’s trade and economic policies. He described, in a humorous way, how Canada’s economic mechanism and productivity can affect the currency exchange rate. Then he associated China’s economic growth with Canada’s economy. He pointed out the changes in the unemployment rate and the national income increase ratein Canada after his country began foreign trade and how these changes affect the Canadian government’s way of understanding economics.

   

His lectureis of great importance to the teachers and students at GDUFS, especially to CSS. It overthrows our stereotypical perceptions of Canada’s economy and is meaningful to the study of Canada’s economic and trade issues and the writing of next year’s Blue Book on Canada.

   

The lecture was co-hosted by CCS and the Consulate General of Canada in Guangzhou.

   

Donald Drummond is a guest professor of Queen’s University in Canada now. He was once the Senior Vice President and chief economist of  TD Bank in Canada. After leaving his position in 2010, he now travels around the world and gives lectures on the global economy. His opinions on economics and policies are wildly adopted by western media.
