U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke says recession ‘likely over’

At a Brookings Institution conference on Tuesday, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stated that “from a technical perspective, the recession is very likely over,” according to CNBC.

Although Bernanke noted that the pace of recovery and growth in the coming year will be “moderate,” many people are still skeptical:
