Fed's Kaplan: Should wean economy at earliest opportunity from super-easy policy
|"We should wean the economy at the earliest opportunity from the super-easy Federal Reserve policy," Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan said on Friday, as reported by Reuters.
"The challenge will be finding the balance between being too preemptive and being too late on policy," Kaplan added.
