CONT

For the purposes of its open-market operations, the Bank of Canada is empowered to buy and sell in the open market from or to any person, either in or outside of Canada, securities, cable transfers, bankers' acceptances, and bills of exchange of the kinds and maturities that are defined as eligible for rediscount, with or without the endorsement of a chartered bank. In practice, open-market dealings are confined to Canadian investment dealers and financial institutions, and are transacted almost exclusively in Canadian government securities.

Record 6 2012-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Special-Language Phraseology
  • Market Structure (Trade)
CONT

An economically efficient price is one that would be charged in a perfectly competitive market. In such a market there are many buyers and many sellers who have full information about the price and cost of an item. They also know about possible substitutes and complementary products. Moreover, the prices of all products fully reflect all external costs and benefits.

CONT

Based on economic theory, in a perfectly free market - that is free from all constraints - price increases can't stick.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Phraséologie des langues de spécialité
  • Morphologie des marchés (Commerce)
CONT

Un prix efficient sur le plan économique est celui qui serait imputé dans un marché parfaitement concurrentiel. Dans un tel marché, il y a de nombreux acheteurs et vendeurs qui disposent de tous les renseignements sur le prix et le coût d'un article. Ils sont aussi familiers avec les produits de substitution et ceux qui sont complémentaires. De plus, les prix de tous les produits tiennent pleinement compte de l'ensemble des coûts externes et des avantages.

CONT

Si l'on se fonde sur la théorie économique, les hausses de prix ne peuvent perdurer dans un marché parfaitement concurrentiel, c'est-à-dire libre de toutes contraintes.

Record 8 2010-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Market Structure (Trade)
DEF

An idealized form of a market economy in which buyers and sellers are permitted to carry out transactions based on mutual agreement on price without government intervention in the form of taxes, subsidies, regulation, or government ownership of goods and services.

CONT

A free market economy is an economy in which the allocation for resources is determined only by their supply and the demand for them. This is mainly a theoretical concept as every country, even capitalist ones, places some restrictions on the ownership and exchange of commodities.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Morphologie des marchés (Commerce)
CONT

En Amérique du Nord, comme dans les autres régions industrialisées, le secteur privé joue un rôle prépondérant au chapitre de la croissance économique, de l'emploi et des revenus. Dans le contexte actuel de la mondialisation de l'économie, cette situation nécessite une économie de marché libre qui permet l'utilisation efficace des ressources et qui est propice aux activités commerciales. Les gouvernements canadien et américain ont établi des politiques macroéconomiques et une réglementation qui permettent une expansion économique durable et équilibrée. Bien que les deux systèmes soient différents, on constate un virage commun vers des politiques plus ouvertes et sensibles au marché.

CONT

Dans une économie de marché libre et flexible, les acteurs réagiront à la présence de profits et de pertes de façon à corriger cette anomalie. [...] plus la concurrence est forte, plus un secteur est libre de réglementations et d'intrusions gouvernementales et se rapproche du modèle capitaliste idéal, [...]

The Department [of National Revenue, Customs and Excise] views the comparable uncontrolled purchase price method as the primary method of determining a reasonable price because it results in a reasonable price that reflects a comparable transaction between a buyer and seller dealing at arm's length. Therefore, the comparable uncontrolled purchase price method should be used to determine the reasonable price whenever the conditions for its application are available. The comparable uncontrolled purchase price method requires that the reasonable price be calculated as the price of comparable uncontrolled purchases.
