38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: if you were to have on one on one with

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the Prime Minister or

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: other elites of England trying to keep the nation within Europe,

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: what do you think you would hear? What's the number

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: one sales pitch from elites to do no harm? Um? Well,

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean you know that the the argument has raged

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: in one sense or another for many years in the

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: UK about the relationships with the EU. I mean, I

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: think you know that the British people generally want convincing

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: that staying in it's going to be better economically, um

48
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: in the medium and long term. And that's something which

49
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: is an argument that not hasn't always been been clear.

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: And obviously, as we've been talking about already today, over

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: recent years at least the UK has been growing much

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: more dynamically and rapidly than the rest of the EU

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: and so near the Eurozone, so that that argument is

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: a difficult one to make, which I think explains why

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: opinion balls have been have been pointing to such a

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: close outcome. One of those things like trying to convince

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: people trade is a good idea because it's easy to

58
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: find a picture of the guy who's out of work,

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: and much harder to the dispersion of benefits. Yeah. And

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, again, as as with everything to do with

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: this reference, and there's two sides to every argument. And

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: there are a lot of voters in the UK who

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: feel threatened by the open access to the UK labor

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: markets for other EU citizens. But but equally there are

65
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: some who see the sort of efficient labor that they

66
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: bring with them and the wider economic benefits that arguably

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: are delivered. So you know, these things we'll keep raging.

68
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: And that's one reason why we and most people think

69
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: that the debate is going to remain up in the

70
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: air until the day of the vote itself, which will

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: will probably continue to undermine sterling among other things over

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the coming months. Uh. We always talk about a currency

73
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: being weak or strong, as if strong was good and

74
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: weak was bad. What's going to be the impact on

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: GDP in the UK from a weaker sterling? How long

76
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: is the jcurve effect? Yeah, well, I mean that's that's

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: one of the ironies in this is that as long

78
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: as the fall in the pound is reasonably stable and orderly,

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: it's actually got a lot of benefits to bring to

80
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: the UK. We're in a situation where global demand, as

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: we discussed before, is potentially slowing, and therefore, you know,

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: for for for trading markets, having a more competitive currency

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: might help tap into that lesser overall demands. Um. The

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: UK also, in common with a lot of other countries,

85
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: has inflation well below the central banks target and and

86
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: a and a weaker currency should raise imported inflation, so

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: that there are certainly some benefits to the lower level

88
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: of sterling. But it does smack of a loss of

89
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: investor confidence and some overseas investors taking or slowing their

90
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: investments into the UK because they're worried about the outcome.

91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: So you as long as it doesn't become a protracted

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and rapid for starting to call into account into question

93
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: the current account situation, then you know there's certainly it's

94
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: certainly not all bad to see sterling weaker. For sure,

95
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: this um going to change the calculation for the Bank

96
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: of England at all. Well, they're very careful at the

97
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: moment not to sound to opinionated one way or the other.

98
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: They obviously can't comment on such political events as a referendum,

99
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: other than to say they're aware of it, and they

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: did say that they think it's one of the reasons

101
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: behind the weakness of sterling. But they will wait for

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: the outcome and they will react accordingly. And if, as

103
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: in our view, the UK stays in the EU recovery continues,

104
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: lost momentum returns, then we see they'll very quickly tell

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: the market that it's got too dubbish and too concerned

106
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: about the outlook. Fifteen seconds, what's your calling Europe when

107
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: you're just a dovetail that was sterling. Um, Well, we're

108
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: more upbeat on the outlook for the for the Eurozone

109
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: than than the consensus. We think growth fair is going

110
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: to be a bit quicker. Um. As far as the

111
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: sort of euro sterling exchange rates concerned, we see it,

112
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: you know, potentially ending this year, not far from current levels,

113
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: but big, fairly volatile in the interim. January is exceptionally valuable.

114
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. What a primer on all that's

115
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: going on, you know, the Kingdom. And I need to

116
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: give a shout out to Francine McQuire who was way

117
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: out front of this, Michael. She told me in Davos

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: before Darva's time, it's gonna be a huge deal. You

119
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Americans don't get it. She was totally right, big deal.

120
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Americans didn't get people. Excuse me, I didn't,

121
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: But then I didn't get red stacks. I mean, it's

122
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: almost the time a year where I have to try

123
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: to gauge at I done with the Red Sox in

124
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: late April or early day. I'd give them to me.

125
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: They maybe have fixed gotten the team better. That's the

126
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: pound euro cross, euro sterling. We'll quote that some more.

127
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm so I've been remiss not to quote that. What

128
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: I can quote flat euros yields are infractually one seventy three.

129
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it a quiet tape. Oil churrance there
