Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I mentioned, consumer spending and business investment have been very strong as of late, through the third quarter of the year. As I said, we've had nine consecutive quarters of domestic demand growth, which is quite significant, particularly compared to a lot of other countries that haven't seen domestic demand come back to their pre-recession levels. That's been very timely, in the sense that, as you mentioned, exports have been very weak because of what's going on in the global economy. I don't have the growth rates with me offhand, but as I said, it's been nine consecutive quarters of growth and we've gone past the pre-recession peak.
