9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Terminal and the Bloomberg Business App. Terry Haynes of Pangaeepolicy, Terry,

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. There is always a temptation to

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: move on to the next thing. I just want to

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: talk about the last thing for a little bit longer.

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: Just frame what we witnessed over the weekend. To see

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: European Commission president except fifteen percent and essentially say thank you,

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: we will rebalance and almost apologizing about the situation.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: Well, it's a it's a triumph of a lot of things.

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: Certainly the president ought to take a victory lap. I

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: think it's I think it ends up being good for

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: the European Union. It's a blow against the conventional wisdom,

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: which of course, in the last quarter saw a lot

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: of this as disastrous. The markets see the fact of

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: the deal and the ratification of trade and the expansion

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: of trade is the most important thing and number one.

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: Number two, I think there's a situation here where as

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: you've alluded to when you're questioning with Tyler, that the

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: geopolitical element of this also remains front and center. Whether

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: we're talking about the continued interdependence of the US and

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: European Union economies, or whether we're talking about investments in

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: the United States and purchases of military equipment. You're seeing

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: a You're seeing a tightening of the alliance, and I think,

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: frankly an attempt by both parties to push back a

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: bit against against China terry.

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: Just to build on that theme, we're hearing from the

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 4: EU Trade Commissioner morro Sekovich this morning in Brussels, and

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: he commented on how overcapacity is destroying the EU steel industry.

36
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: Over Capacity is sort of code from steel from China,

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: and I wonder how much that is. Ongoing discussions that

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 4: are happening now that have pushed Europeans to make this

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: deal with the United States, even if it's being perceived

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: by the market as being better for the.

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: US, well, they'll they'll certainly try to make a deal

42
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: on this. But at the same time, you know, the

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: europe sees in the United States sees as well.

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: I think the.

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: China using the economic sectors and industries as geopolitical weapons.

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: And there's nothing there's nothing more stark than China trying

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: to flood the European market with evs for example, on this.

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: And you know, we even see Bloomberg reported recently Starbucks

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: under assault now by a Chinese coffee company starting in

50
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: New York, vastly undercutting prices. So you'll see this throughout

51
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: and it is a light motif these trade deals and

52
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: the fulcrum of kind of pushing back against China, limiting

53
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: China's ability to try to use industries and sectors to

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: frankly hollow out and destroy industrial capacity in the West.

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 4: What have we learned from both the Japanese deal and

56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: the EU deal in terms of the structure of the

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: sustainable trade conversation going forward? Is it the fifteen percent

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: is a new floor and that you have to have

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: some sort of investment fund alongside that. The details of

60
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 4: which haven't really been disclosed on either side.

61
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: I tend to go outside in on this instead of

62
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: inside out. What I mean by this is I think

63
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: I think markets, and I've said this many times on

64
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: this program, I think markets are focusing entirely too much

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: on tariffs and entirely not too much on the broader

66
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: benefits of the rest of Trump trade and trade policy

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: and tax policy, whether it be the tax bill and

68
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: the variety of things that are that are coming from

69
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: that or these trade deals, and how they're trying to

70
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: reorient in ways that frankly continue and expand investment in

71
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: the United States as a compliment to onshoing and reshoring

72
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: in critical critical industries, as Secretary best and puts it.

73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: In fairness, though, stops are at record high. So if

74
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: you're reaching record high after record high and what capacity,

75
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: are you saying that markets are not aware of some

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: of the positive benefits from this, Well.

77
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: I'm saying that they haven't been, first of all, And

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: second of all, I'm saying that there's there continues to

79
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: be a focus on tariffs as a negative without the

80
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: countervailing positives and attached. Certainly, markets had gotten over a

81
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: lot of the tariff shock in the last quarter, and

82
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: you know got past the idea from the conventional wisdom

83
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: that this was going to cause a hole in the economy. Now,

84
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: what your situation is, Steve put it very well in

85
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: the last segment, is you've got a variety of hoops

86
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: that have been jumped through all of what your market positives.

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: And now we're turning to for example, the FED this

88
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: week as well as earnings to see if the proofs

89
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: and the putting on that.

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: Side the narrative has changed quickly. Let's put it that way, Terry,

91
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: appreciate your time. Terry Haynes. There of panchee policy. Steve

92
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: Reshoot of Mazoo with a bullish forecast for Friday's payrolls report,

93
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: calling for one hundred and forty thousand jobs to be

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: added and expecting the unemployment rate to tick up slightly.

95
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: Steve joined us now for more Steve Goomonic, good morning.

96
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: Some of the times that maybe one forty is called bullish.

97
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: Now for the labor market, what's changed, Well.

98
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: You are further into a business cycle. You do have

99
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 6: a labor market shortage. You do have a very very

100
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 6: tight labor market, so it's hard to continue to add

101
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 6: large scales without causing a certain amount of disruptions and

102
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 6: a dramatic rise in wages, and I think companies have

103
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 6: been resistant on that. I also think there's a bit

104
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 6: of a technology shift taking price, and I don't think it's

105
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 6: all the AI, but I think it's further adopting of

106
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 6: the traditional types of technology that we need to do

107
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 6: things in the service industry with more and more kiosks

108
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 6: popping up everywhere, and I think that helps the situation

109
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 6: as well. So we're supplementing labor or get a little

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: bit with capital where we can.

111
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: You have some people like Chris Waller, governor who's expected

112
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 4: to send the first ascent on the Federal Reserve since

113
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety three, potentially on Wednesday, coming out and saying

114
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 4: he's seeing cracks, he's seeing signs that there is instability

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: in the labor market. Do you reject that wholesale or

116
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: do you just say that that is something that comes

117
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: along with the changes in technology and demographics.

118
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 6: Well, I do reject at wholesale because what we see

119
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 6: in terms of the claims numbers, what we see in

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 6: terms of the continuing claims numbers leave us in an

121
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 6: environment in which you know there's a healthy labor marketing environment.

122
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 6: We see no evidence whatsoever in the data that's less

123
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 6: likely to be disrupted by any kind of flow differentials.

124
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 6: We also seen in terms of the Jolts numbers, which

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 6: I don't particularly like, but the FED seems to like

126
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 6: in terms of hiring quits going back up, in terms

127
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 6: of hirings being healthy, in terms of job openings going

128
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: back up. So I don't see where there really are

129
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 6: cracks in the labor market. It's a traditional slowing that

130
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 6: takes place as you get this far into an environment.

131
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, adjust it for how tight

132
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 6: the labor market fundamental he.

133
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: Is, given the fact that we do see some sort

134
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: of slowing at least at the very least, Is there

135
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: anything inflationary about this labor market? Is there anything about

136
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: wage growth that would give you confidence that we could

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: see more than just a one time price adjustment from tariffs?

138
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 6: Oh, I think you grew up going towards a three

139
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 6: percent inflation rate, and that's part of the issue. I

140
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 6: think it's from a labor market tight standpoint, I don't

141
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 6: necessarily have to talk about tariffs to tell you I

142
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 6: think we're going to three percent inflation, and I question

143
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 6: whether or not tariffs themselves will be reflected in prices substantially,

144
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 6: because you look at quorter margins, they're very, very wide.

145
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 6: You look at exporter margins with the dollar going down,

146
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 6: you've got that benefit coming through a little bit of

147
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 6: goods prices. We've seen given the fact that the dollar

148
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 6: is depreciated six or seven percent in the last year,

149
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 6: and not surprising you see a little upward movement in

150
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 6: prices that would typically just take place from the currency standpoint,

151
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 6: and actually it's not even keeping place with the currency standpoint,

152
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 6: because global deflation is real. And that's the other thing

153
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 6: that's offsetting and helping the exporter margins widing, because as

154
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 6: China dumps all its goods everywhere else in the world,

155
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 6: these people are sitting there with their run material base

156
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 6: starting to get cheaper, and therefore they could absorb the

157
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 6: margins where and China is dumping goods everywhere that they

158
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 6: can't dump here anymore.

159
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: Other capacity is a massive issue, particularly for the Europeans.

160
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: That's for sure. You said something really interested that we

161
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: need to unpack the labor market might be a reason

162
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: to be hawk issh still, Governor Walla was in your

163
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: seat a week two weeks ago. I made the case

164
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: the labor market is increasingly becoming a reason to be dumbished.

165
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: So I just want to give you some time. What's

166
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: happening in the labor market right now that you think

167
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: is going to keep them on the back foot.

168
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 6: I think the fact that the unemployment rate is not

169
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 6: going to go higher. I think the you know, movement

170
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 6: to four point two, we've been there and they've done nothing.

171
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 6: But I think when you look at the fundamentals of

172
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 6: the labor market and what will drive that unemployment rate

173
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 6: up a little bit, you can discover that it's positive science.

174
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 6: An expansion in the labor force from not having expanded

175
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 6: for two months in a row. That's going to be

176
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 6: the kind of thing that you know, gives you an

177
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 6: environment where and that's probably going to wind up in

178
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 6: a little bit increase in unemployment. Temporarily, you're going to

179
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 6: wind up in an environment where it's a healthy expansion

180
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 6: in the labor market help you up with adjustment in

181
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 6: the unemployment rate. I don't think there's cracks in the

182
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 6: system when I look at the earnings numbers. You know,

183
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 6: my earnings revision tracker is now positive after being negative

184
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 6: for weeks on end, It's now been positive for three

185
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: weeks in a row. Companies are revising up earnings. We're

186
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 6: at ten point nine percent for this year, thirteen point

187
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 6: nine percent for next year. These are solid earnings numbers.

188
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 6: These aren't kind of an earning number of peop will

189
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 6: sit back and say I have to scale back on

190
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 6: employment dramatically. I think a lot of the announcements that

191
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 6: you're picking up on in the labor market are taking

192
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 6: place in states where you're required to announce the layoffs,

193
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 6: but you're not required to announce the net hirings, and

194
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 6: I think that becomes part.

195
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 5: Of the problem.

196
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 6: It's selective decision to look at the information. And this

197
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 6: is a confirmation bias I think comes from the dots.

198
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 6: If I were to drop Jonathan Ferroll out of an

199
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: alien spacecraft, you had been studying the Federal Reserve for years,

200
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 6: you'd been studying the US economy for years, but you

201
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 6: didn't know any about the dots, and I dropped you

202
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 6: in Arizona right now, Okay, you would come out of

203
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 6: that spacecraft and you would be like, Oh, the FED

204
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 6: shouldn't be cutting rates. But everyone else says the Fed's

205
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 6: cutting rates. Why because the dots are there, so everyone's

206
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 6: biased by the dots.

207
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Other people might cherry peck some labor market data. Right now,

208
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: at least, I've talked about a few things. Entry level

209
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: hiring not great at all, job switches not getting that

210
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: boost to pay. You talked about the labor market and

211
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: the tightness there, sufficiently tight to generate stronger pay rolls growth,

212
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: stronger wage growth. It keeps this FED reluctant account interest rights.

213
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 6: We've got an hoarurwly earnings number of zero point four percent.

214
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 6: That's again consistent with a four percent rise. A four

215
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 6: percent rise is consistent with three percent inflation. FEDS targets too.

216
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 6: We're a two point seven our estimate for the upcoming

217
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 6: PCE deflator. There's seven tenths off the mark, three tenths

218
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 6: closer to my number, seven tenths away from their number.

219
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I think they're not in the position to

220
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 6: cut rates. And if they were to cut rates, I

221
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 6: think it would be a mistake. And I think you'd

222
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 6: discover exactly what happened last year when they cut rates,

223
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 6: and that is the long end of the curve. Would

224
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: sell off, so it would be a bear steepener.

225
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: Which at a certain point is the reason why people

226
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 4: are also looking to the auctions. Sorry, I had to

227
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: say that I've been ormissed. There are auctions today and

228
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: tomorrow two year, five year, and seven year notes, but

229
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: also the Treasury refunding announcement that comes on Wednesday, when

230
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: maybe we get a sense of whether any of this

231
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: will matter for the US government's dep financing costs because

232
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: maybe they'll issue everything in t bills and just retire

233
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: all of their coupon all of their treasury bonds. I mean,

234
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: how much are you looking at that to really understand

235
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 4: exactly how this Treasure Department is going to manage this

236
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,479
Speaker 4: and whether it's going to have any market immifications.

237
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 6: Well, I think there's lots of reasons to expect bill

238
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 6: issue sizes will go up. Back when I began, which

239
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: was ancient history in terms of the markets, one of

240
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 6: the things I had to do was estimate the treasuries

241
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 6: operating cash balance. So I had to figure out financy

242
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 6: and I had to figure out the net cash flows,

243
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 6: and we assumed every single quarter a third of all

244
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 6: the net new money would be raised in bills. That's

245
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 6: not happening now. So yeah, there's more bill issuance coming

246
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 6: relative to coupon issuance.

247
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: When you came in, you said that there's something else

248
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: that you're looking for.

249
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 6: Stable Coin is something that I'm going to be looking

250
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 6: to see whether or not Treasure Secretary of pressent a

251
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 6: if he's back from his overseas trip and talks further

252
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 6: about stable coin than he did at the May Were

253
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 6: funding announcement, And he made a statement at that point

254
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 6: in time that I think get stuck in a lot

255
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 6: of people's minds. And I visited a lot of accounts,

256
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 6: and some of these accounts are very, very interested in

257
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 6: the whole stable coin concept and where do we go

258
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: with stable coin and how much of it will be

259
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 6: financed through bills, And he talked about two trillion dollars

260
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 6: market cap. You look at stable coin now, it's about

261
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 6: three hundred two hundred billion dollars. So that's telling it

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 6: there's a long way to go. And I question whether

263
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 6: or not if you wind up with it being done properly,

264
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 6: if you want it, For example, the Federal Reserve issuing

265
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 6: its own stable coin, could you then be in a

266
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 6: situation where we might actually replace a lot of our

267
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 6: electronic transfers of wires and replace the swift system with

268
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: something more simple and less costly for the end result user.

269
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 6: And know the banks don't want this because clearly it

270
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 6: influences a business they make a lot of money on.

271
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 6: But clearly the end user wants it. I can imagine

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 6: a place like Walmart, Target, Boeing, these big people, these exporters,

273
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 6: these importers, all sitting there saying, you know, this would

274
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 6: be great.

275
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 5: It reduces my costs.

276
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 6: I really think we have to do this right now.

277
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: We've got lots of stable coins going in different directions

278
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 6: and trying to do different things. If we could find

279
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 6: one way of unifying it and putting them all on

280
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 6: one network, creating it all in terms of one large

281
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 6: ability to do it, for example, with a treasury coin

282
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 6: hosted on a Federal Reserve website, I think you can

283
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 6: get a very fast adoption of the technology.

284
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: You think it leads to increased tea build demand.

285
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 6: I do think it leads to increased tea build demand,

286
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,359
Speaker 6: because I do not believe it'll affect currency in circulation,

287
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 6: which affects the rest of the Federal Reserves portfolio. Currency

288
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 6: in circulation is a percentage of the economy's percent of

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 6: financial transactions is not going down. Yes, a lot of

290
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 6: the currency in circulation is outside the country, but we

291
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 6: still have the currency that's in circulation once up outside

292
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 6: the country. But we do have as a result of that,

293
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 6: the big federal reserve portfolio, and I don't think it changes.

294
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 6: So Yes, what happens in terms of stable coin, I

295
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 6: think will be a net new demand.

296
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: Interesting.

297
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: Happy to catch Shelby this morning Church a lot of

298
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: the audience Ryan and as well Steved shouldov missoo, I

299
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: have an a tremendous yes, so far dead on so

300
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: far this year on a lot of issues. Well, it's

301
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: nice watched football league making its way across the Atlantic.

302
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: The English Premier League is playing six matches for sold

303
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: out crowds in New Jersey, Chicago, and Atlanta this summer,

304
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: the series kicking off this past weekend with Manchester United

305
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: beating West Ham joining us. Now, I'm very pleased to

306
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: say the CEO of the English Premier League, Richard Master's

307
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: Richard and Monic.

308
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: Good morning, thank you for having me.

309
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to the studio here in New York. It's going

310
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: to see you, sir, let's just talk about your involvement

311
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: in the sport. I think it's almost twenty years of

312
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: direct involvement with the Premier League. Are you surprised by

313
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: the amount of growth we've seen? Not in the UK,

314
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: forget all of that, the amount of growth we've seen

315
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: in America.

316
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: Twenty years next January at the Premier League seven years

317
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: a CEO in December, what's the Premier League gets? Get

318
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and bigger and out here in the

319
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: US we've got a fantastic broadcast relationship NBC. We've opened

320
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: offices here in New York. We're committed to grow in

321
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: the game. About thirty percent of the US population not

322
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: interested in soccer or football, and about two thirds of

323
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: those followed the Premier League.

324
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 5: And that's a brilliant foundation which to growth.

325
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Reason we're out here with six of our teams playing

326
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: matches to give our fans a taste to the Premier League.

327
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: As a Britain New York I can tell you the

328
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: experience of NBC is amazing. I get to wake up

329
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: on a Saturday morning on a Sunday and I get

330
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: to watch absolutely everything. That's not the experience in the

331
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: UK with Sky. It's a very different experience. You only

332
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: get to watch so much. Why do we get to

333
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: see so much more through NBC than maybe fans in

334
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: the UK get to see at home.

335
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: Well, in the UK, the matches between two and five

336
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, which is the traditional time

337
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: to go and watch football in the country, aren't broadcast.

338
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 5: So it's not just the Premier League. The FFL as

339
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 5: well aren't.

340
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: Broadcast, and that's part of the decision we've made. It's

341
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: long term commitment to what's called Article forty eight. But

342
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: anywhere else outside of the UK, it's all three hundred

343
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: and eighty games throughout the season you can watch.

344
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: And of course here in the US, as you.

345
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: Say, there are millions of people getting up on a

346
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday morning watching their favorite team and you

347
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: can sit there from seven AMS or lunchtime watch the

348
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: entire thing if you want to, And that's a brilliant

349
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: thing for us.

350
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: Does it kind of hurt your soul to say soccer

351
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: instead of football at all?

352
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: I think they're interchangeable. When I grew up, I grew

353
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: up in the Midlands, I watched soccer Sunday on Star

354
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: soccer rather on a Sunday lunchtime, so it's interchangeable at this.

355
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 4: Point, though, does it dilute the pelayer's ability to really

356
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 4: commit to not only a team but a season if

357
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: they're playing at all times in all places and their

358
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: bodies have to be exhausted at a certain point.

359
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 5: Now that's true.

360
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean there is a starter of players at the

361
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: top of the game who are playing a lot, and

362
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 1: it's a big issue within the game. The Premier League, obviously,

363
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: since ninety four, has been twenty clubs to in gen

364
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: eighty games August to May, but we've seen the gradual

365
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: expansion of European competitions and now global competitions as well.

366
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 5: Next summer, the US will host.

367
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: The World Cup first time forty eight teams, and of

368
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: course in the last summer we've seen the Club World Cup,

369
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: a brand new competition put into the calendar. And I

370
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: think that from my perspective, not just as CEO the

371
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: Premi League, but also my other role as chair of

372
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: the World League's Sociation, which is about representing domestic leagues

373
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: around the world, there has to be a big conversation

374
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: now about how you balance this out properly and make

375
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: sure that players are looked after and that these competitions

376
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: are additive and not subtractive from the competitions they bump into.

377
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's have that conversation right now. I can speak

378
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: as a fan. I hate it. I don't want to

379
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: see an expanded FIFA Club World Cub. In fact, for

380
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: most fans of the English Premier League, we get annoyed

381
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: whenever there's an international break. We don't want to see

382
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: more tournaments. What we loved was just the cadence of

383
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: every two years you had a major tournament. The Euro's,

384
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: the World Cup, the Euro's the World Cub. Why have

385
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: we gotten away from there? And what's your message to

386
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: FIFA to UEFA, as in the minds of many fans

387
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: they just seem to be chasing money, the expense of

388
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: the game and maybe the player's health.

389
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: Well, the message is talk.

390
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: You know that there is actually strong dialogue between domestic

391
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: leagues in Europe and New AFA about competitions and that's

392
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: a coalition of stakeholders, clubs, leagues, club players as well

393
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: talking about it. That dialogue doesn't happen at all for

394
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: the game and it should do. So that's the key message.

395
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Sit down and talk to the leaguees, talk to all

396
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: the stakeholders and find a way through all of this,

397
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: because it has a limit and I think we've gone

398
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: past it. We've gone past saturation point. My job, obviously

399
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: is to look after the Premier League, and we're going

400
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: great guns, thank you very much. And I want the

401
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: purity of that competition to remain. I want people to

402
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: be able to enjoy that, enjoy their football because I

403
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: want the best players on the pitch all the time

404
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: in the Premier League and not worrying about how to

405
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: balance everything out.

406
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the purity of the game. It's a

407
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: polarizing topic and very controversial, as you know, Manchester City

408
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: in this number one hundred and fifteen the number of

409
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: charges for alleged breaches of financial regulations. What can you

410
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: share with us this morning about where things stand.

411
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 5: Nothing is the honest truth.

412
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: The case was heard last year and we wait for

413
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: the decision to be made. We can't hurry the people

414
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: whose job it is to make that decision, and it

415
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: will happen when it happens, and I don't know when

416
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be. We'll find out with everybody else.

417
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: What's your se of why it's taking so long.

418
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, and it's difficult for me to speculate.

419
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.

420
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: It's just difficult for a lot of people in the

421
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: game who follow the game to see how quickly things

422
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: concluded with a club like Habitat and how long it's

423
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: taking with a club like Manchester City. And some people

424
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: can't help but conclude that maybe different clubs are being

425
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: treated differently because of these status they have in the

426
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: Premier League.

427
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

428
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: Well, I do want to sign of frustration and share

429
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: some of those but in the end, this process is

430
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: very different.

431
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: These allegations are very different. Makes it different too.

432
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: They just said that the charge themselves and the number

433
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: of them, but I can't really get into it.

434
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 5: I really can't talk about and you.

435
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: Can't get into the details. But do you think it's

436
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: hurting the reputation of the league?

437
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: Well, at the center of this is a football competition,

438
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: and I think people want to basically watch the football.

439
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: That's the main event.

440
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: And when you get dragged into whatever it may be,

441
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: financial affairs, I think people think that maybe there's something

442
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: going wrong here. I do accept all of that. The

443
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: competition remains strong, the economics, the primileague remain strong and fundamentally,

444
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: as long as we can put the best players on

445
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: the pitch and give people a fantastic competition, I think

446
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: we can get through this period.

447
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 4: I've been an outsider and I've been studying the rules

448
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: of the game and the sustainability rule that kind of

449
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: led to this investigation into Man's City and this idea

450
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: that a club has to bring in and just spend

451
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: the same amount of money that it brings in. Do

452
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 4: you think that that rule has become outdated or unenforceable

453
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: in any kind of real time way.

454
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: So, if you're talking.

455
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: About the financial regulations within football, our clubs are all

456
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: really subject to two sets of regulations, our own, the

457
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: profitable and sustainability rules and also u waifers rules, So

458
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: they're looking at two sets of financial rules to comply with.

459
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: And essentially in England our rules are there. It's a

460
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: spending rule really about profitability. So there is the ability

461
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: to invest and that's what we want our clubs to do.

462
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: We've got a fantastic set of owners that invest in

463
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: the stadiums, in fan experience and players on the pitch,

464
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: and that's what we want. Whatever, as I said, the

465
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: great set of owners that want to invest, and so

466
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: there has to be a limit ultimately to ensure they've

467
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: got a competitive league, which we do have.

468
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 5: So I think we're known as look at investing in

469
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 5: the Premier League.

470
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: They can see that you can aspire to do better

471
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: in the league and now seeing more clubs qualifying for

472
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: European competition. Our clubs are in incredibly successful in Europe

473
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: and that's all down to investment. So there has to

474
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: be a limit ultimately on what you can spend. Clubs

475
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: have all signed up to these rules and we are

476
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: enforcing them.

477
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 4: Well, how much does the Saudi League really kind of

478
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, skew the financials of this in a

479
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: way that creates a sort of complicated dynamic.

480
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: Well, the Saudi League is an investment phase. Sally League's

481
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: been around for many decades and now we're seeing local

482
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 1: investment into that and they're becoming very active in the marketplace.

483
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes that good for Premierley clubs. Some sids they take clubs,

484
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: take players that Premi leagu clubs want to sign. It's

485
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: just a new dynamic and we have to observe it

486
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: and we have to cope with it.

487
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,040
