Praise for International Economic Indicators and CentralBanks
"Anne Picker's International Economic Indicators and Central Banksis a tour de force. It brings together a wealth of information,explanation, and guidance, which has hitherto only been availablefrom disparate and frequently obscure sources, and does so withgreat clarity and authority. It will be an invaluable resource notonly for investors but for all others involved in the fields offinance and economics."
--Donald R. Anderson, OBE FRSE (UK), International EconomicsAdvisor, formerly chief economist, Courtaulds Group
"Picker's book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to theworkings of key central banks, and to the economic data thatinforms their thinking and policy formation. The book should berequired reading for those with more than a passing interest infinancial markets and monetary policy formation."
--George Worthington, Chief Economist, Asia Pacific, Thomson-IFR(Australia)
"International Economic Indicators and Central Banks is aninvaluable guide for anyone doing business overseas or investing ininternational markets. It is thorough and precise enough forprofessional economists yet readily accessible to business peopleand investors. Anne Picker is not only an excellent communicatorwho demystifies central bank operations and technical economicindicators; she is also a top-notch economist with extensiveexperience in analyzing them. Don't read any international economicanalysis without this volume close at hand."
