Saint John, New Brunswick –
Over the summer, the global economic outlook deteriorated, the European sovereign debt crisis intensified, and investor confidence decreased in the ability of policy-makers to respond, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said today. These changes in the global economic environment present both significant challenges and opportunities, the Governor told the Saint John Board of Trade.
In Europe, while the most immediate concern is growing funding pressures on its banks, the broader issues are the fiscal and competitive positions of a number of countries, most of which have little choice but to reduce their budget deficits, despite weak private demand.
“The European situation is fragile but fixable; manageable if it is managed,” the Governor said. A comprehensive capital plan for European banks is needed, as is, crucially, a sizeable funding backstop for European sovereigns. “Eu

Purchasing life insurance is an important part of safeguarding your family’s financial future. Purchasing life insurance depends on a wide variety of factors, including whether you are married, whether there are dependent children in the family, and the amount of recurring expenses for the household. There are some things that would be good for every person that is considering life insurance to understand before making a purchasing decision.
Life insurance is available in a variety of different forms and each form is geared towards specific objectives. Some life insurance policies are specifically designed to provide for your survivors while other policies are intended to ease the task of moving assets out of your estate. The most common types of life insurance include Term Life Insurance, which covers you for a set number of years, and Whole Life Insurance, which offers perpetual coverage until death,
The price of the life insurance policy will depend on the amount of coverage you desire and the type of life insurance chosen. Whether the policy is for a finite period of time or will be in effect indefinitely will also affect the price you will pay for the insurance policy. The amount of life insurance offered by the company and the premiums required to keep the insurance policy effective will be determined by the applicant’s age and general health at the time the policy is issued.
The amount of insurance needed will differ from family to family. It is important to reflect on what you intend to provide for with the life insurance policy. Some people choose a life insurance amount that will allow their survivors to pay off the mortgage and any other debts. Others choose a policy that will cover one year of household and living expenses to allow their spouse a significant period of time where they can make decisions about the future without having to worry about earning additional money to cover all of the bills. The number of children in the family and their ages should also be a consideration when determining how much life insurance to buy.

Ask Money Girl: Do Renters Pay for Property Taxes?
Q. Do renters in apartment complexes, condominiums, or trailer parks pay property taxes? A. It’s not common for a non-commercial tenant to be asked to pay specifically for property taxes. Property taxes are the responsibility of the owner, unless specified otherwise in a lease. However, the rent that a residential property owner charges should be high enough to cover all of their expenses, such as mortgage payments, insurance, maintenance, and property taxes. If they can’t collect enough rent to pay their expenses, they’ll have a negative cash flow on the investment property. And nobody wants that.
