Carney said any such operation would only be done in closecoordination with the Canadian government. The Oxford and Harvard-trained economist and former GoldmanSachs banker warned that the Canadian economy will still faceshocks and setbacks. "We continue to expect, even though we see growth towardsthe end of the year and into 2010, that the employmentsituation will deteriorate further before it improves," hesaid. Carney said he was encouraged by improving conditions incapital and interbank lending markets, which froze up with theonset of the global financial crisis. "Canadian bank funding costs have really started to fallquite sharply," he said.
