How to adapt to low interest rates: Poloz
– moneysense.ca
OTTAWA – The Bank of Canada’s governor says today’s era of stubbornly low interest rates means it’s time to revisit retirement plans, temper business investment expectations and encourage policy-makers to pounce on smaller morsels of economic opportunity.
In prepared remarks of a speech he was to deliver today in Quebec City, Stephen Poloz laid out recommendations on how to adapt to low interest rates that he expects will linger for a long time.
Poloz says with Canadians living longer, they should consider saving more for retirement, working longer than planned and changing their investment mix to adjust to the persistently low interest rates.
He also urges businesses to invest more to help the economy, saying the current climate means they must lower their expectations when it comes to rates of return on investments.
The central banker says governments should cobble together a mix of policies to the boost the country’s economic output — even if each opportunity on its own offers only a slight improvement…

Asian shares mixed as Bank of Japan, Fed mull policy options
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Asian shares meandered Wednesday as markets awaited the outcomes of monetary policy meetings in the U.S. and Japan. Japan’s benchmark fell after August trade data came in weaker than expected.
KEEPING SCORE: Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.5 per cent to 16,411.97 and the Hang Seng of Hong Kong fell 0.1 per cent to 23,516.54. The Shanghai Composite index also fell, 0.1 per cent, to 3,021.89. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.5 per cent to 5,327.90 and South Korea’s Kospi was almost flat, at 2,026.56. Shares were higher in Taiwan but mixed in Southeast Asia.
BANK OF JAPAN WATCH: Japan’s central bank was due to release a policy statement at midday Wednesday. Analysts increasingly have speculated the bank will adapt its asset purchases to allow interest rates for long-term Japanese government bonds to rise somewhat, while keeping rates for short term assets near zero. Prospects for a shift further into negative territory for the BOJ’s key policy rate as a way to spur banks to lend more appeared uncertain…
