Desde hace varias décadas los economistas identificaron un dilema fundamental en la arquitectura de las finanzas internacionales, al que denominan la trinidad irreconciliable o la trinidad imposible. Recibe estos nombres porque hay tres objetivos de política económica que son imposibles de lograr al mismo tiempo. El primer objetivo que puede buscar un país es retener la independencia de su política monetaria, esto es, quiere estar en posibilidad de reducir las tasas de interés para luchar contra las recesiones, y elevarlas para atacar la inflación. El segundo objetivo es que le gustaría tener un tipo de cambio más o menos estable, esto es, evitar fluctuaciones erráticas en el valor de su moneda respecto a otras monedas, para no afectar negativamente las decisiones de gasto e inversión de sus agentes económicos. El tercer objetivo de política es contar con una convertibilidad total con el exterior, esto es, las autoridades desean asegurarle a las empresas y las personas que el dinero puede entrar y salir libremente del país, para aprovechar los beneficios del capital externo y evitar las oportunidades de corrupción que, inevitablemente, se asocian con cualquier intento de limitar el movimiento de capital. 2, record 3, Spanish, - trinidad%20imposible

Since 1991, Canada's monetary policy framework has consisted of two main elements–an inflation target and a flexible exchange rate. This framework has allowed Canada to pursue an independent monetary policy–a policy suited to our own circumstances. The two main elements work together and reinforce each other. The result has been low and stable inflation, with less volatility in output and employment.... To summarize, our monetary policy framework has served us well in maintaining a domestic environment of growth and stability. Together with other domestic policies, it has helped Canada to adjust to some significant changes in the global economy....

Depuis 1991, le cadre de conduite de la politique monétaire du Canada repose sur deux éléments principaux : une cible d'inflation et un régime de changes flexibles. Grâce à ce cadre, le Canada a pu mener une politique monétaire indépendante, adaptée à sa conjoncture propre. Ces deux éléments fonctionnent de concert et se renforcent mutuellement. Ils ont permis d'obtenir un taux d'inflation bas et stable, tout en réduisant la volatilité de la production et de l'emploi. [...] En résumé, notre cadre de conduite de la politique monétaire nous a bien servis, en nous permettant de maintenir un climat de croissance et de stabilité au pays.
