Which country is Bernanke talking about ?

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Thursday
that consumer price index figures overstate annual inflation by up to one
percentage point.

"We do think...that standard CPI does overstate true inflation - if we could
measure true inflation - by some amount between one-half and one percentage
point," Bernanke said at a Senate Budget Committee hearing.

The government said Thursday that the CPI rose 0.5% in December, capping a
2.5% rise for all of 2006.

Excluding food and energy, the CPI rose 0.2% on the month and 2.6% for the
year.
