WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) - Bank of Canada Governor
Stephen Poloz said on Friday he was more encouraged about the
state of the global economy after hearing from his G20
colleagues at the spring meeting of the group than he was
heading into the discussions.
Poloz had said earlier in the week that weaker global growth
was one of the biggest downside risks to Canada's export-driven
economy as the central bank held its key overnight rate steady
amid a prolonged slump in the nation's key energy sector.
