Feb 12 (Reuters) - Below are key quotes from an appearance by Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney and Senior Deputy Governor Tiff Macklem:

CARNEY ON 2012 GDP GROWTH:

'The shortfall is two-fold through 2012. Growth was less than anticipated, we think it's coming in under 2 percent. Also, GDP inflation was lower as well, so nominal GDP growth was materially less.'
