Article Abstract:
The United States Federal Reserve Board meets at the end of March and is the first meeting with Ben Bernanke as its Chairman. It is forecast that Mr. Bernanke will continue with Alan Greenspan's policy of increasing the interest rate by one quarter percentiles, so from 4.5 percent to 4.75 percent at the next meeting. United States and global economic growth is slightly better than financial forecasts.
