A key adviser within US President Barack Obama's administration says she is "incredibly confident" the US economy will recover within 12 months. Christina Romer, head of the White House's economic advice council, told Fox TV "we will be seeing signs the economy is turning around".

“It's an economic blueprint for our future, a vision of America where growth is not based on real-estate bubbles or over-leveraged banks, but on a firm foundation of investments in energy, education and healthcare that will lead to a real and lasting prosperity," President Obama said in his weekly radio address on Saturday.
