Bank of Canada (BoC) Financial System Review Press Conference is held after the BoC's meeting, during which Canada's financial system is discussed, and which the regulator holds twice a year.

The press conference is normally held by the BoC Governor and Deputy Governor. The Governor reads out his statement, which provides an overview of Canada's financial system and the Canadian banking sector stability report. This is followed by a short answer session.

Now, webcasts of press conferences are also published on the BoC's official YouTube channel.
