The President of the Federal Reserve said think another recession is unlikely. But he warned that the economy may undergo a slowdown in high unemployment dampens consumer spending.

Interview is part of a large counter-offensive Bernanke leads against critics of the plan purchase link the US Federal Reserve announced on 3 November. The purchases are intended to lower rates of interest in the long term, to raise the stock price and encourage more spending to stimulate the economy.

Criticism from Republicans in Congress of the US Federal Reserve officials say they fear that intervention the Fed could stimulate inflation and speculative on Wall Street purchases while doing not much of the economy.

Other issues of "60 minutes", Bernanke interview:

A sustained unemployment would have been much higher-"something as it is in depression, 25 percent"-had the Fed not provided special assistance to Wall Street firms, banks and other companies to facilitate a credit crunch. Said it could take four or five years more unemployment, to 9.8% in the fall to a historically normal 5% or 6%. A reiterated that the Fed is ready to buy even more than 600 billion in bonds of the Treasury Board for eight months, if it decides that the economy has need fuel to lower interest rates. Sustained A risk of inflation is an exaggeration. Bernanke has said he is "100 %" confident that the Fed will be able to push inflation, when the time is right, by increasing interest rates and the conduct of its exciting programs. Called the risk of deflation - a decrease in prices, wages and extended values of stocks and houses - "pretty weak". He said that likely would have been already if the Fed did not maintain super-low interest rates. Urged A Congress in order to improve the nation's tax code "closing the gaps and decreasing rates" for individuals and businesses. He said so doing create a greater incentive for people to invest.

In the interview with no material be broadcast CAs, but was later posted online in the form of video, Bernanke reiterated his opinion that artificially low Chinese currency is "bad for u.s. economic" because it hurts our trade

It is not useful for China, which, he said, because it makes it more difficult for managers of Beijing policies keep China's economy and inflation, overheating.

Critics fear that binding of the Federal Reserve purchases are increasing inflation risks have complained that purchases mean that the Fed is, indeed, printing more money. In the interview, Bernanke called that a "myth." He stressed the Fed does not print money when buying Treasurys and said the program expand the amount of money in circulation "significantly."

History: Yes, the economy is doing stable earnings, but...

Lou Crandall, Wrightson ICAP Chief Economist said that Bernanke is just that purchases the Fed does alter significantly the amount of money circulating in the economy. This is mainly because banks are not ready for most of the money they already hold in reserve. When the Fed buy Treasurys, it increases reserves in the banking system. These reserves actually "creating" money, banks would they lend.

Yet, Crandall suggested that bond purchase programme creates the appearance of money printing, something which could establish the credibility of the Central Bank into play.

Appearance Bernanke Sunday evening is part of a Flash of public relations, that it is mounted since the reserve US Federal announced program on 3 November. Private and public appearances, Bernanke has sought to explain and defend the regular programme Americans, investors and regulators on Capitol Hill.

His efforts have included an op - Ed article in the Washington Post and discussions with students in Jacksonville, Florida, economists Jekyll Island, GA, businessmen in Columbus, Ohio, Governors of the Central European banks and members of the Banking Commission of the Senate.

Criticism comes from home and abroad. Responsible for China, Germany, Brazil and others said that the Fed is a scheme to u.s. exporters a competitive advantage by keeping the value of the weak dollar. Weak dollar makes goods less expensive u.s. products abroad and more expensive foreign to the United States.

It is rare for a Fed Chairman to give an interview for broadcast or print session. But it was Bernanke's second appearance on "60 minutes." His first was in March 2009. At that time, he knows the anger on Wall Street orchestrated and rising anxiety about the economy.

History: Actions put in place a strong December

In an interview broadcast Sunday, Bernanke pointed out that the economy is growing at an annual rate of approximately 2.5% - too slow to reduce unemployment. For a self-sustaining recovery, consumers and businesses should spend more, so the economy could grow faster.

Bernanke said he hoped that binding of the Federal Reserve purchase program will allow to lift stock price. This is partly because the decline in the yields of bonds would cause some people to move money into stocks.

Stock prices would increase wealth and trust of individuals and businesses. Expenditure increase lifting revenues, profits and economic growth. Bernanke has referred to this as a "virtuous cycle".

But when asked at the interview if the recovery is autonomous, Bernanke responded: "it may not be." It is very close to the border. ?

In view of the still-low economic growth, he said: "We are not very far from being the level where the economy is not self-sufficient."

I wanted the best occurs and worked very hard, but I was prepared for the worst. I am always things to the end to make sure that I will fail, rather than to ensure that success. It is not very fun way to live your life.

From the when my sister and I were young, my children have to work for everything that they obtiennent.Par example, one of my son gets every morning at 6: 30 pm to me a good cup of coffee.

I gives ￡ 3 per day for this.I had much rather be lining pockets of my children as a café - restaurant .but my eldest son has learned to live with almost rien.Il uses his ingenuity to find ways to do steps to spend money in the first place.

My daughter, who is two years longer than he has a job really long hours as a caregiver and bought his own House.

No, because I married my wife! I leave all the finer things on the money itself.I can't tell you how my mortgage is each mois.Je do shopping very frequently, but when I do it is a great thing as experiences as opposed to physical objects, then that my wife, Sally, will be pop workshops every two days of bits.

I have been diving for 12 years, which coincided with my retirement cycling, diving equipment is probably my greatest weakness. It is not cheap, so to help offset the costs, I write for a scuba diving magazine. It can also get in place under the guise of work.

Given how I made in my lifetime, when I was in cycling, moments like come on time. My income depends on effectively on eight minutes bike, so I made hundreds of thousands or almost nothing.

In my career, I have just used the reflux or flow and because of this we have never lived over our means.We were never in danger of not being able to pay the mortgage, but we really think. We have designed a plan when we were behind my year earnings, so if this year, I had 100,000 books, we would live a lifestyle of ￡ 30,000, and if I have made ￡ 500,000 next year, we would live a lifestyle of ￡ 100,000.

At some point, you begin to earn money that you must pass on the essential points. It's like students with money purposesyou pursue your passion and someone starts to give you money for it, and then you go to a quasi profligacy.Then comes the taxman, and you have a period of transition.

Well, I leave everything what my excellent accountant Dufton Kellner in Heswall, the Wirral.Ils occupy other athletes. A good is so difficult to find - it's like a game and the point is to keep hold of as much as possible.

Just before the Olympic Games in 1992, I've switched a team that really loved contacts to another because it was a market attractive - but it's a nightmare. I had placed too much emphasis on the pay package and not the people I work with that.Now I aim to create a good work of my team and I hope that the rewards will follow.

In my view, it is more important to select people for their honnêteté.Ils will just tell you things that you want to hear.I want to do business with people, I can trust, is reliable and have a sense of duty, not because they are fun with.

I met far too many people for years that finally have no pride and respect for the work team and who are in it for themselves, and I was seriously injured.

Departure Boardman bike in 2004 with the former UK Ironman record-holder Alan Ingarfield.I have to give him credit for shortly with the idea of the performance bikes.His enthusiasm was infectious - left on my own I probably would have done nothing.

He has helped to keep me out of my comfort zone and we are a balanced ensemble.Dans most circumstances, I am better off being does not the boss.I works best as part of a team.I think that I will return to much of my childhood, when I stayed and reassemble things again - better they were originally .we have started at United Kingdom, in collaboration with Halfords, and next year we are going global.

We know that our products are also good than anything out there on the market, but the biggest obstacle is allowing people to knowledge so far, we've been growing step by step and now it is time to make the big jump.We need a large face (besides me course)!behind the brand.

But we are supported by research at the international level, the demand is bonne.Nous also have to deal with people's changing growth of internet shopping and purchasing habits.

Carte.Je keep track what it - Sally est.Je am not a person has a tout.Elle figures for its iPhone application so that it can Bank everywhere where it is and it uses banking online for me (I dare touch), so it probably did that to enter the Bank two mois.Elle manages all my personal finances and chassis my invoices.

No, we prefer to invest in the property, and we have really well over the years, including a really flat we have yet to Chester.Je leaves until Sally to where the best money en.Elle was very personal about what makes an investment in the long-term best judgement.

I see that it me in an Sipp - I would not trust with my money with someone another YH ' have invested in the property for 15 years now and use the money for purchases, pension funds, therefore it cannot obtain a mortgage on them.

If you change anything on the financial system, what would it be?

This is a question difficile.Je think that everyone wants less bureaucratique.Il is always easy to say in a flounce you out of living in a different country, because they are doing things better and you get taxed as much, but I appreciate my way of life and security here in United Kingdom .i'm too rich for my taste.

To a large extent, I think that much in advance, but my overall priority is to ensure at least four sources of revenue because that facilitates the cash flows and you lose one or he descends, it is less than these streams catastrophe.Un is speaking in public, I probably only 10 times per year, but it is incredibly lucrative.
