US Fed's Dudley still up to the rostrum in Connecticut

  • US doing better than Japan and European economies

Not a lot to beat to be honest though.

  • China's GDP numbers are reasonably accurate
  • may be a small gap between published and actual data
  • cautiously optimisitic on China's economic transformation but there are questions about China's growth prospects

Ah, so "reasonably accurate" is good enough nowadays eh? How about the accuracy of the US data then? Takes a thief to catch a thief?

With that he's now sat down.
