Dollar fund adds ‘muscle’ to bank OTTAWA (CP) — Canada is still the junior player among the big seven western industrial countries, the so-called Group of Seven or G-7, but its financial clout is growing. Ottawa's dollar defence fund of foreign currencies and gold doubled last year to roughly $16.2 billion U the highest yepr-end level ever, the Finance Department said ‘That's four times the amount held only two years ago. The increase “gives the Bank of Canada considerably more muscie” than it has had in previous years should it need to resist a run on the dollar, such as occurred in-early-1986, explained Barry Davenport, vice president of foreign exchange for the Bank of Montreal. Alan Yarish, assistant chief econ omist with the Royal Bank of Canada said the increase in reserves has occurred because “the Canadian dollar has been very strong and the Bank of Canada has been trying to moderate that.” He.agreed the central bank, which handled the fund for the government, is “well positioned to counteract” any speculation that threatens the cur rency The reserve fund is stabilize the value of the dollar and all figures are in US dollars which make up the bulk of the fund The Bank of Canada sells reserves and buys Canadian dollars when it wants to slow.or stop_a slide in the value of the currency It does the opposite, as has been generally the case over the last year, when_it_wants_to resist__upward pressure on the curréncy. Davenport said the increase in the size of the fund also allows Canada to play a bigger role in helping other major industrial countries stabilize exchange rates when necessary. The G-7 — the United States, used tq Japan, West Germany, France, Brit ain, Italy and Canada — has been co-operating more in recent years to stabilize the values of their eur. rencies. BUYS DOLLARS For example, the central banks of those countries have bought U.S dollars -whgp they felt that the relative valuétof that currency was falling too far. Last week, the Bank of England helped the Bank of Canada resist upward pressure on the value of the Canadian dolar by selling Canadian dollars on world currency markets. “Phe-eommentary—over the last couple of years js that there is going to be more joint intervention to stab- ilize rates and keep rates in a certain range,” Davenport said. “And certainly the success the Bank of Canada has had in accu mulating these reserves gives more credibility to its role-in this pro gram,” he said. In early 1986, when the Canadian dollar was the target of Chicago money speculators who drove its value below 70 cents US, the Bank of Canada, with less than $4 billion US in its reserve fund, was hard pressed to fight back. It was forced to borrow billions of U.S. dollars to bolster the fund. Since that time, however, high interest rates, a healthy economy, strong prices for many resource exports, and more recently free trade with the-United States, have combined to boost the dollar's value, now near 84 cents US. In resisting upward pressure, the Bank of Canada has been selling Canadian dollars on foreign exchange markets and buying up fereign cur. rencies. “If the Canadian dollar does keep rising the reserves will almost cer- tainly keep-rising,” Davenport said. However, Canada still has quite a way to go to match the foreign reserve holdings of the other mem bers of G-7. For example, the latest-figures available show Japan with about $98 billion US in foreign reserves, West Germany $74 billion US and others around $50 billion each.
