The Dallas Fed president says the economy will be much stronger in the second half of 2011 than the first.

  • Could see 4% growth in second half
  • Fed has reliquified economy, demand now the question
  • Businesses won’t hire in great numbers until demand return and regulatory landscape becomes clearer
  • Fed would have to consider taking some monetary accommodation out of the system once the economy picks up
  • Double dip recession highly unlikely
