New technology `boosting US'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ALAN GREENSPAN, the US Federal Reserve chairman (pictured), said yesterday that business investment in new technology is boosting US productivity and keeping a rein on inflation. However, he cautioned that the benefits from technological developments might be short-lived.
Mr Greenspan, who was speaking to the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, is to address broader questions about the US economy's performance and the Fed's policy on interest rates at a second appearance before the committee on Thursday this week.
