US economy will grow by 2.5% in 2013

At the Asian Financial Forum (AFF)), which opened today in Hong Kong, the Federal Reserve President Charles Evans said that the US economy will grow by 2.5% in 2013 and continue to increase by 3.5% in 2014. It is reported by Reuters.

Charles Evans predicts the preservation of unemployment in 2013 at 7.4%, and its gradual decrease to 7% in 2014.

The decision of the US Federal Reserve System, adopted last year, which makes monetary policy depending on specific economic conditions, must, according to Evans, help restore economic growth, preventing inflationary processes from developing.

The President of the Federal Tax Service promised not to raise refinancing rates, even after reviving the economy.

"The markets can be sure that we will provide funding aimed at eliminating the deficit of working capital that exists currently," he said. "In addition, the public may be more than sure that we will not hesitate if inflation begins to cause significant anxiety."

As reported, in 2012, the US economy, according to preliminary data, increased by 3%.
