People are using cash less, and plastic more. But this presents a problem for unbanked and underbanked people. There are still a significant number of Canadians who don鈥檛 have a bank account. They can鈥檛 participate fully in the digital economy, but central bank digital currencies could help them do that. The Bank of Canada is one of the central banks considering a digital currency, and one of its main benefits is inclusion, says Katrin Tinn, an Assistant Professor of Finance at 麻豆AV.

Europe鈥檚 energy crisis has highlighted the gap between the green energy production that we want, and the fossil fuel energy infrastructure that we actually have. When Russia cuts off the flow of natural gas to Europe, there simply is not enough green energy to compensate, said Eric Reguly of The Globe and Mail in an interview with Prof. Karl Moore for Les Affaires. Twenty years ago, green energy was growing faster than it is today, Reguly said.
