Arkansas banker offers perspective on economy, gas prices

Talk Business, a content partner with The City Wire, has a 60-second video post of an interview with Little Rock-based Delta Trust & Bank CEO French Hill.

With more than 25 years in the Arkansas financial community, Hill is considered a leader in the sector. In the interview with Roby Brock, editor-in-chief of Talk Business, Hill offered a comprehensive and understandable summary of how the world came to be in a financial mess and what it will take to recover.

Hill also notes that the decline of gas prices since July equals a more than $200 billion economic stimulus for the American people. He estimates that for each $1 price drop at the gas pump, Americans save $125 billion.
