Economic revival in 1992: a sure thing
Article Abstract:
William C. Dudley, in an address to the Investment Section of the American Council of Life Insurance, predicted economic recovery for 1992. In fact, he foresaw rather vigorous economic growth for the last half of the year. He held such a confident view of the economy principally because of his belief that recent changes in monetary policy will stimulate demand. However, he realized that his economic forecast was not shared by everyone.
