President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Narayana Kocherlakota is speaking at a forum at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse at 0000GMT.
- He is taking questions from the audience.
- Kocherlakota is a ‘dove’ on monetary policy; he does not have a vote on the FOMC this year (but will in 2014).
- With the FOMC meeting coming up on September 17-18, this will be one of the last chances we get to hear from a member prior to the 7-day blackout period beforehand
