Bundesbank chief to talk on European economy

If U.S. Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan is the most powerful man in business, count Ernst Welteke equally close to the top.

Welteke, head of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Germany’s central bank, will speak Friday, April 14 at 9:30 a.m. in the Fluno Center, 601 University Ave.

His talk, entitled “Toward a New European Economy,” will address key economic and political issues, from the performance of the euro, the European Union’s currency, to the quickening pace of European corporate mergers making news internationally. Welteke says reforms underway in European countries point toward a revitalized economy.
