Business investment and employment would also pick up down the line.The dollar would have to hold its present lower level "for a number of months" to have any tangible effect on the economy. "A couple of weeks is not going to have an impact," he said.The dollar's purchasing power will decline as importers pass on higher costs to consumers.Its fall followed upbeat comments by US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, who suggested stimulus measures which injected $US85 billion into the US economy each month could end by mid-2014. Quantitative easing - the Fed's bond-buying program - would be wound down.BK Asset Management managing director Kathy Lien told AAP the Australian dollar had been sold off more heavily than other nations' currencies as the greenback became more attractive to investors."Less quantitative easing means the Federal Reserve is pumping less money into the economy and no longer aggressively devaluing the (US) dollar," Lien said.AustraliaAustralia economyDollarCurrenciesBen BernankeHelen Davidsonguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Business investment and employment would also pick up down the line.The dollar would have to hold its present lower level "for a number of months" to have any tangible effect on the economy. "A couple of weeks is not going to have an impact," he said.The dollar's purchasing power will decline as importers pass on higher costs to consumers.Its fall followed upbeat comments by US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, who suggested stimulus measures which injected $US85 billion into the US economy each month could end by mid-2014. Quantitative easing - the Fed's bond-buying program - would be wound down.BK Asset Management managing director Kathy Lien told AAP the Australian dollar had been sold off more heavily than other nations' currencies as the greenback became more attractive to investors."Less quantitative easing means the Federal Reserve is pumping less money into the economy and no longer aggressively devaluing the (US) dollar," Lien said.AustraliaAustralia economyDollarCurrenciesBen BernankeHelen Davidsonguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
