00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg's Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Brownwitz Jailey. We bring you

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations.

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple, podcast, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com,

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: and of course, on the Bloomberg Terminal. Let's get a

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: quick word from Margie Bitta and the City of potfolio

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: manager at all Spring Global Investments. Margie, I want to

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: start here with just the real yield turning positive. Briefly,

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: how much of the game change to risk that when

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: it comes to big investments in say big tech. Uh? Well,

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: I think one thing is shows you is maybe the

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: FED maybe nearing a pause as far as the aggressive

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: rate increases people were looking for. And I think that's

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: why the market rallied yesterday saying well the economy looks

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. But on the other hand, maybe the Fed

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: isn't going to be as aggressive because the market, having

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: moved up, has done a law of their work for them.

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: I look, Margaine, where we are now, and we all

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: have to readjust can you buy bills, notes and bonds now?

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: As Bank of America suggests this morning, can you actually

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: go in with confidence and acquire fixed income? Uh? Well,

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I think treasuries is more of a trading opportunity. But

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: when you look at high yield, I think that actually

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: looks pretty attractive for the income only oriented investor. The

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: average yields are between five and a half and seven percent,

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: and prices are now at a discount about on the dollar,

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: so you have room for capital appreciation if yield spread

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: as a narrowed And also, most importantly, defaults are only

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: going to be under one percent this year and next

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: year according to the rating agencies, so that means you'll

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: get to keep all that extra yield. So that looks

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: like a good risk reward bargain to me. Monkey, Based

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: on what we've priced at the front end, do you

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: sense things are fully priced? I think the longer part

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: of the curve looks pretty appropriate. I think we can

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: expect the FED to try to move up the short end. Again.

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be talking more aggressively than

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: what they actually do. But I think the FED it

39
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: isn't like the FED as a precision machine, and they

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen with each change of the dial.

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: And change in rate. So I think they'll be cautious

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: and we'll see a small increase and it won't have

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: a much of a negative effect on the markets. Okay,

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: thank you, that's always market there of old sprint Global Investments.

45
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Jump to Steven Roach with us now of Yale University

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: and the Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, and of course

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Accidental Conflict is a new effort out by Dr Roach.

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Steve Roach, I want to celebrate right now. How you,

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: more than anyone I know, was out front on a

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: FED that looks at interest rates, a FED that looks

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: at employment, and you said, this is a FED that

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: has to look at the asset build up within the

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: American economic experiment. I believe we're now where we're trying

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: to shrink the asset build up. Do we have any history,

55
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: model or theory that explains to us what quantitative tightening

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: in whatever formula is, will be. Well, Tom, you know,

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: the FED is clearly in uncharted territory both in terms

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: of providing stimulus at the zero bound for an interminably

59
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: long period of time, and it's you know, promised to

60
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: get us away from that. But so far we've seen

61
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: basis points of that promise. UH, and the tapering you

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: allude to is coming off again UH an extraordinarily high level.

63
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: And UH. You know, every time they've tried to do

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: that in the past, the markets have had a tantrum

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: or some other adverse reaction, and it sets the FED

66
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: up for having a very difficult time UH in ween

67
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: the U S economy and the financial off of frothy

68
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: asset markets that they have created. And that's that's a

69
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: big challenge. You're right. The world economic all lookout yesterday

70
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: really points out the history here of taper tantrum and

71
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: the testing of yield dynamics, and that I want to

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: go Steve to what you weaned at Morgan Stanley, which is,

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: let's not forget the back end of the GDP equation,

74
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: which is trade growth. I m F says trade growth

75
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: is slowing for any number of reasons, including tourism, but

76
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: twenty one three it is diminishing. Are we anywhere near

77
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: global recession? No, we're not there now. But you know

78
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: the dynamic of a of a recession in the face

79
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: of UH central bank normalization. UM, this inflation shock that

80
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: everybody is convinced, I mean, Jonathan just uh decided some

81
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: bank report that is absolutely convinced that inflation is and

82
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: vanished into thin air. By the end of the year.

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it will, but the odds are probably won't. And

84
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: then you add to that, you know the geo strategic

85
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: shocks that are playing out on our screens real time.

86
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: You know, the world economy is facing some real serious challenges,

87
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: and you know it comes in with a strong post

88
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: COVID rebound cushion. But you know, as we're seeing in China,

89
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: that cushion can disappear very quickly. Stephen, have you've been

90
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: surprised by this dollar strength? Yeah, putting it mildly. I mean,

91
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, this is one of those great great lessons.

92
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I should have gathered this when I first ventured the

93
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: idea that the dollar would fall, that you should never

94
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: make a currency forecast. Alan Greenspan advised me of that

95
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: decades ago, and he was entirely right. So I'm prepared

96
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: to as much crow as you guys want to feed me. Stephen.

97
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't the intent of the question. Really. The question

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: that I'm having is how do you can come up

99
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: with a forecast? How does the FED even operate in

100
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: an environment set by not only really unique circumstances on

101
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: the fiscal side, but also these conflicts that you're writing

102
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: about with this book that's coming up, this idea of

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: how does a FED sort of arrange itself and its

104
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: forecasts around conflicts that have unexpected impacts on inflation? Well,

105
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: which it's a it's a classic risk management exercise for forecasters,

106
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, way the balance or risks UH, and UH,

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: assign some probabilities to it and then try to be objective. UH.

108
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: And we reading through that, and remember what your mandate is.

109
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: Your mandate is UH, you know, price stability and full employment.

110
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: The FED does not have to worry about the labor

111
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: market at this point in May at some point in

112
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: the future. But it's behind the curve on inflation in

113
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: a way that it's never been before. And I've looked

114
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: at the you know, the real Federal funds rate, which

115
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: are just the benchmark policy rate for inflation or deeper

116
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: in negative territory right now by conventional measures than ever

117
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: at any point in history, including the early seventies, UH

118
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and the the early eighties, which of course bookend the

119
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Great Inflation. So you know, the FED has miles to

120
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: go on. UH. Normalization let alone putting some restraint into

121
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: its policy if it needs to do that to to

122
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: cool off inflation even more. Well, but seven, a lot

123
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: of people are saying Bank of America included that if

124
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the FED is aggressive and they're getting more aggressive, that

125
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: will end up in the same scenario before we started

126
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: the pandemic. That basically the dynamic of the demographic getting

127
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: older and not necessarily as much productivity will lead inflation

128
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: to go back to where it was. Why do you

129
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: push back on that and how high do you think

130
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: that rates really are going to go? If you do

131
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: disagree with this call of Bank of Americas, it's Bank

132
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: of America one of my favorite banks. UM. Look, I am.

133
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I think that the inflation dynamic right now is one

134
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: that has far surpassed UH FED expectations, most market expectations

135
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: UH and UH and and certainly mine, even though I

136
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: was very negative on inflation a couple of years ago.

137
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: But the idea that UH, the forward looking FED can

138
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: count on a return two pre COVID UH sub two

139
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: percent inflation and the face of supply chain disruptions geostrategic

140
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: uncertainty dynamic that has now afflicted UH wage and labor

141
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: cause pressure. It's possible, but do you want to count

142
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: on that is your best case? Steve, you invented fractious economics.

143
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: You literally invented it out of thin air. You're the

144
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: first guy I know that ever used a PDF file

145
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: to do economic So you and Dick Burner set up

146
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: at the wonderful Galbraith and All and Morgan Stanley set

147
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: up this raging debate. And there's no one you're raged

148
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: more with than Stephen Yen in the dollar call. You

149
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: have been calling for a week dollar. It hasn't happened.

150
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: When does it happen? Well, it may never happen. Yeah,

151
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Stephen jen my old currency strategist colleague,

152
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: had this great image of the dollar smile. And you know,

153
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's smiling at me right now and trying

154
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: to weasel my way out of here. Steven, I don't

155
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt. This is really really important. We've had

156
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: a resilient dollar. Most of the street has gotten this wrong.

157
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: At some point the dollar breaks. What will be the

158
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: events that we need to watch for where we will

159
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: see dollar break? I personally tell him I think the

160
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: dynamic is still there in terms of the current account

161
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: the domestic savings rate. They're all pointing the dollar weakness.

162
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,359
Speaker 1: They haven't played out in a period of geo strategic uncertainty.

163
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: And my guess is, if we ever get through this war, uh,

164
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, once we're on the other side of geo

165
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: strategic uncertainty, the dollars fundamentals will reassert themselves. It won't

166
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: be the end of the world, not the demise of

167
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: the dollars status of the reserve currency. But you know,

168
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: the dollars had three major corrections since the early nineteen seventies,

169
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: and these are big ones. They average close to on

170
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: a trade weighted basis, and each time they've been triggered

171
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: by uh, you know, either inflation, geostrategic uncertainty, or the

172
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, some other type of financial event that uh

173
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: afflicts the world. But the US a little bit worse

174
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: than the rest of the world, and you know, there

175
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: is that possibility, and I wouldn't rule it out. We're

176
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: setting ourselves up for dollar weakness. They're that's set up.

177
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: Actually gets triggered remains to be seen. Stephen Grants to

178
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: catch up to head from you as a white Stephen

179
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Rush University. For someone that writes a wonderful research. No,

180
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: James Bianco joins us out. Jim Bianco, president of founder

181
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: of Bianco Research. Jim, I love, love, love, love love

182
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: your chart where you say, would everybody stand up, wake

183
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: up and understand that weak Japanese yen matters to American investors.

184
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: Why the Japanese are the largest owner of treasury, largest

185
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: country owner of treasury securities. They own more than China

186
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: does right now one point three trillion dollars. As they

187
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: try to hold the Japanese government bond yield at twenty

188
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: five basis points when every other yield in the world

189
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: is going up, they're increasing their spread to the rest

190
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: of the world that they're making their currency unattractive. If

191
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: they keep doing it and yen is twelve percent in

192
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: a month, it's going to have big implications for their

193
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: financial markets and economy. And they're a major country and

194
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna gonna feel it. Jim, what's so important here?

195
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: And this begins our coverage. I'm gonna say, ninety days ago,

196
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: if David focus Landau at Deutsche Bank making real clear

197
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: his number one concern is devaluation of currencies against an

198
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: ever stronger resilient dollar. At what point does yen tip

199
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: into some form of devaluation panic where Japan has to act.

200
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: They're very close to it right now. I mean, as

201
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: I said, they've moved up twelve or lost twelve percent

202
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: of their value in the last month. They approached one

203
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: thirty on the yen overnight, and I guess the b

204
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: f J has got a difficult question they got to answer.

205
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: They can continue to hold their yield curve control PEG

206
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: at twenty five basis points in the tenure yield or

207
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and let the currency go. Or they can let the

208
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: PEG go and defend the currency. But they can't do

209
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: both at the same time. And I think we're getting

210
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: close to the point where they're going to have to

211
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: start thinking more about their currency than they are about

212
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: their yield curve PEG. Jim, do you think that people

213
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: ought to be paying more attention to the consequence of

214
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Japanese policy monetary policy on the US treasury market, considering

215
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: the fact that the Japanese investor owns more treasuries and

216
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: even China more than any other external investor. Yeah, they should,

217
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: because as their currency goes and as their interest rates go,

218
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna maintain its relative attractiveness of the U S

219
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: treasury market. Should they let the PEG go and interest

220
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: rates rise a lot in Japan? And we saw that

221
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: last fall when Australia abandoned yield curve control and it

222
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: rose a lot. A lot of those investors that are

223
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: buying treasury securities again one point three trillion might find

224
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: detractive yields in Japan for the first time in a generation,

225
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: and that will lessen the demand for treasuries at a

226
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: time that the Fed is leading the market and other

227
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: people that are saying that the treasury market or interest

228
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: rates of the bond market are uninvestable because of the

229
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: higher rates, you're gonna lose another major player and you're

230
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: just gonna compound the problems in the bond market. What

231
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: does that translate into in terms of how much higher

232
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: yields can go? You know, when you see yields do

233
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: what they've done so far this year and on a

234
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: total return basis, when you caf actor in the yield

235
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: and the price, this has been the worst year in

236
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: the history of statistics. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index goes

237
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: back in mid seventies. It's down ten percent for the year.

238
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: That is an extraordinarily large move for the bond market.

239
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: And it's only the middle of April. As we continue

240
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: to see this happen, you have to start to worry.

241
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: And I am that there's going to be knock on effects,

242
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: are unintended consequences. The bond market, the banking system, the

243
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: financial system is not really designed to have the entire

244
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: bond market lose ten percent of its value in four months.

245
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Every other time we've seen this, it's always run We've

246
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: always run into problems now that same we have problems

247
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: now and it might be a while off. And we've

248
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: also seen when you see extraordinary moves like this, I

249
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but they continue to go until

250
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: something breaks. That's what happened in That's what happened in

251
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: That's what happened in eighty seven when you had huge

252
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: rises in yield. They kept going and going, and everybody

253
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: kept saying it's over, it's over, and it wasn't over

254
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: until something broke. And that's what I'm afraid of now

255
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: because this move is getting into that kind of territory. Him.

256
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: Conversations with you were always foundab always got about sixty

257
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: seconds left when you say something might break. What have

258
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: you got in mind? At the moment you all either

259
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: that the stock market wakes up to higher interest rates

260
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: all eighty seven. I'm not talking about crash. I'm talking

261
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: about that they just recognize that higher rates are bad,

262
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: or that higher rates that translating the mortgages and borrowing

263
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: costs really shut the economy down fast, or some kind

264
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: of a plumbing problem like we saw in September of

265
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen with the repall market. This stuff is

266
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: very complicated, and when you see extraordinary moves like this,

267
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: you never know what kind of impact they're gonna have

268
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: on it. Jim super smell as always that kind shops soon.

269
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: Jim Bianco, that of Bianco Research. Brian Weezer is legendary

270
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: for his courage on Facebook when it was launched years

271
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: ago at Pivotal at the time. He's now a group

272
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: president for Business Intelligence Group m where away from by

273
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Hold Cell. He really really thinks about the trends in

274
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: the industry. A definitive and constructive note on Netflix this morning, Brian,

275
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: thank you for joining. I'm gonna cut to the chase.

276
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: Can read Hastings do a Brian Roberts, can read Hastings

277
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: move to a cash flow driven company? Ola what Comcast

278
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: did years ago. I think it is already. I mean,

279
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: if you look at the most mature market, the company

280
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: is already very probable. This is one of the things

281
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: I think many people, certainly in the industry ignored think

282
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: about the company produces. A lot of guys were already well.

283
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: The point here is the industry zeitgeist is he is

284
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: no Brian Roberts, And you're saying, wait a minute, lose

285
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: the caution. Can you only shares here given the collapse

286
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: and your enthusiasm over their development of free cash flow? Well,

287
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: I would pretty this way. I think that the expectations

288
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: for the company were way out of whack, way out

289
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: of whack. I think that the company that the investors

290
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: were trying to make up business mall they misled is

291
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: too important, Brian stopped. Were they misled by Netflix? I

292
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: think investors found a way to jumpify the stock price.

293
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: That's not uncommon, right, both momenting driving stocks. Do you

294
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: see that with any stock will call over value? So

295
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: that happens, So, Brian, how do you assess what the

296
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: actual value is at a time? But we don't even

297
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: know what the real problem was. I mean, you actually

298
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: throw some cold water on this theory that consumers were

299
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: cutting Netflix subscriptions because of the rising commodity costs and

300
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: the rising costs. More broadly, Yeah, exactly. I know that

301
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: there's a narrative out there, a RAND in place of

302
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: being issued, but you wouldn't CEP and G a ten

303
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: percent organic growth or loreal with double digit organic growth

304
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: that treats are spending with the problem here? Um, I

305
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: think the issues. Think about it this way. Spending on

306
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: streaming services in the United States and about thirty billion

307
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: dollars last year. There's about a hundred billion dollars of

308
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: spending on traditional pay TV services, traditional cable. There is

309
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: an awful lot of room to go in to echo

310
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: Tim Nolan's points earlier, just bang on when he talked

311
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: about competitive issue. That's the issue. There's just more streaming

312
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: out there. So, Brian, who's going to be the winner?

313
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that Netflix would be the

314
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: clear winner. Can you come out now and say it's

315
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: a lot less clear the Netflix will be one of

316
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: the winners of the streaming wars. I think there's a

317
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: very direct relationship between share spend on content and share viewing.

318
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: If you spend twenty billion dollars in the global industry

319
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: with three billion dollars, let's say, of spending on content,

320
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: you'll get about six percent share of total viewing. It's

321
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: actually pretty simple. The algorithm isn't that complicated. If you

322
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: spend thirty billion dollars in the three billion dollar industry,

323
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: you'll get more of doing. It's as simple as that. Brian,

324
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: I got to talk about the new mating that we

325
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: have of Warner Discovery, Hulu, Animal Planet, and forty seven

326
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: other things including CNN. They have fifteen billion large of debt.

327
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: I believe it's fifty of their balance sheet as well.

328
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Can Zev left pull this off? Can he actually do

329
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: the entertainment and news artistry of it and the financial

330
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: is well and bring synergies to that new shop. I

331
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: think it's absolutely possible, of course. I mean I think

332
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: we're sometimes looking at this acquisition come back in the

333
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: long way. This is really a Warner Brothers takeover of Discovery,

334
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: but inserting Discovery management on top of Warner. At least

335
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like based on the ecouagement started

336
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: to announce so far to the extent that the company

337
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: was really well position by Jason Kyler for a long

338
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: future ahead to They said that David Gussa keeps focused

339
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: on that and doesn't focus on a short term built

340
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: think very well for themselves. I think the risk is

341
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: that they start to focus more on short term metrics,

342
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: but they try to focus on making the quarter work. Um,

343
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: I'll cultivate a shareholder base and they won't want that

344
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: will lead to less optimoil comes. I think the course

345
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: and he didn't work for Netflix, that's for sure. From

346
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: ways to recruit fam thank you, sir, fantastic to catch

347
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: up one. David Malpass joins as the President of the

348
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: World Bank, truly in time of crisis. David, I want

349
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: to cut to one of the quiet stories here, and

350
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: it does have to do with Russia selling an awful

351
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: lot a fertilizer to the United States of America. Your

352
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: shop has led on building the supply a fertilizer critical

353
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: to this humanitarian crisis. How are you doing. I'm happy,

354
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: happy to see more fertilizer is critical in this planting season.

355
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: Countries are really at the moment where they need to

356
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: get the cross in the ground and they need fertilizers.

357
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: So that's good that Russia is doing that. I saw yesterday,

358
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: India was selling some wheat to Egypt. My view is

359
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: that there really is a lot of supply in the world,

360
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: if it can be guided or if it can be

361
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: allowed to find the best use. What can your institution

362
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: do to get us away from five six seven standard

363
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: deviation jumps in agricultural products. We can help with data,

364
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: We can help with the supply change themselves. We can

365
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: provide trade finance, which is important in moving goods around UH,

366
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: and we can also encourage countries to find new sources

367
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: to to realize that that they need to move quickly

368
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: in order to increase supply. And importantly, tom we can

369
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: encourage the advanced economies to do all they can to

370
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: lease access stocks UH and to make more more products.

371
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: They have huge production capacity and I think if they

372
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: communicate that that will help with the world pricing levels.

373
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: David time has become incredibly important when we're talking about

374
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: issues of hunger, especially for places where the averages half

375
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: of the income of every household goes to spending for food.

376
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Sri Lanka stopped paying debt payments as a result of

377
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: their need to buy food and fuel. How much do

378
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: you see this as becoming a routine issue with debt,

379
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: with debt defaults at a time when Sri Lanka says

380
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: the I m F eight is going to take six months,

381
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: which is going to be tough for them, High Lisa.

382
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: Different countries are in different positions. Sri Lanka had waited

383
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: in order to begin to tackle its debt problem, and

384
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: there they continued making payments on heavy debt burns, including

385
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: those to China, and so that drains resources. Other countries

386
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: are have faced different bums, each one of a unique

387
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: I was in Romania and Poland last week. They're facing

388
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: the changes in the energy supplies within Europe. I'm sorry

389
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: I miss Tom when he was in Washington, d C.

390
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: Last week. But the point is that the world needs

391
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: to have a resolution process for debt that's more robust

392
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: than than we have right now and starts earlier. At

393
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: a meeting this morning, there was a call for China

394
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: to convene a creditors committee for Zambia. I think that

395
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: would be a very helpful step because Zambia, like Zambia,

396
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: stopped paying its creditors more than a year ago and

397
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: still doesn't have a pathway to a debt resolution. I

398
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: think the world needs to work hard to provide that path,

399
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: and that would be a good step forward. David, as

400
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: we try to understand what the obligations are of some

401
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: of the developing world, do we have a sense of

402
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: how much is owed to China in terms of loans

403
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: and other types of debt. There's substantial data. It's not

404
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: all transparent as far as what the amounts are, so

405
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: we the World Bank puts out numbers on that. You know,

406
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: there's different ways to cut it, and so you have

407
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: to be careful. The official debt China is now some

408
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: of the of the total creditor the amount owed to

409
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: creditors of the official credits that means government to government

410
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: UH credits. So that's a that's a type of data.

411
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: Another type is that the poorest countries are expected to

412
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: pay out thirty five billion dollars of debt service this

413
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: year alone, which is bigger than the than the foreign

414
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: aid that comes in. And so there really needs to

415
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: be a change. That was discussed heavily already this morning

416
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: at the at I MFC meetings. David, here's a distrust

417
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: and by no means am I casting an aspersion to

418
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: you or your great institution or Christopher Ansy and his

419
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: team are really looking at the basic flows of a

420
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: The World Bank is always first to write the check

421
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: their acclaim for that. Are you writing a check to

422
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: a given beleaguered nation and they're turning around and taking

423
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: part or all of that check and rolling it right

424
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: over FedExing it out to Beijing. We hope not, and

425
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: we're working to avoid that. But the system has been

426
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: one where that you know, that has allowed transparency to

427
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: to go down and down and so in in uh

428
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: in many cases there are non disclosure clauses in the

429
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: debt contracts that leave leave it unclear where, where, who, why,

430
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: why the payments are being made to the creditor, oftentimes

431
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: to China. I think there can be big improvements, and

432
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: it's also in China's interest to do that. And so

433
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: because China is a big part of the world economy

434
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: and can benefit from healthy countries and healthy development in

435
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: the developing world. That's what I hope. Okay, you hope

436
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: for the hope. So when we're gonna get us so far,

437
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Mr mel Pass, is there any indication China wants greater transparency?

438
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: So the check you're writing is not going to Beijing?

439
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, do they want transparency. Yes, they're fully participating.

440
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: The then the devil is in the details thom As

441
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, and they've they've been complained that they're willing

442
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: to be more active in these debt resolutions if they

443
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: can actually play a formal role the the and you know,

444
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: people are discussing this concretely that the world was set

445
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: up under the old debt composition in which China wasn't

446
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: a big player, so that China is not a member

447
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: of the Paris Club. It's been the central institution to

448
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: restructure debts um there. The G twenty is trying to

449
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: broaden that, and I think they're making some programs. David

450
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,520
