Charles I Plosser: Economic outlook Speech by Mr Charles I Plosser, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, to the Rotary Club of Wilmington, Wilmington, Delaware, 29 March 2012. *  *  *  The views expressed today are my own and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve System or the FOMC.
Introduction Thank you for inviting me to speak to the Rotary Club of Wilmington. In planning for today, I learned that Wilmington’s business and community leaders have been gathering under your auspices at this location since 1914, longer than any other Rotary Club in the world. From one organization that is almost a century old to another, that is quite an achievement.
