But he said that turning the lower currency into a real depreciation that spurs growth would require real wage cuts. ‘I thought [US]85 cents would be closer to the mark than [US]95 cents . . .but really, I don’t think we can be that precise. I just think that if things over the medium term evolve as we’re presently assuming – and I think it’s reasonable to make these assumptions – it’s going to be surprising if a nine at the front is the right number,’ he said.”
