francisco fed chairman john
williams for an exclusive "power
lunch" interview.
steve.
>> tyler, thanks very much.
i am joined by fed president
john williams and i need to let
viewers know there are some i
ask from presidents more than
others.
never done an interview in
cleveland.
john, let's talk about the
economy.
everybody thinks we're going to
have a snap back.
put the two quarters together
and it's still that average 2%
growth that we have.
do we have any hope that we're
going to break out of that psych
snl.
>> that's a pattern we've seen
in the past few years.
disappointing data and the
growth.
our forecast still would say
growth this year about 2 2.5% o
average.
continuing good growth in the
second half of this year and
going next year around 3%.
but in the days of thinking
we're going to get 4% or 5% as a
part of the recovery.
we put that behind us.
