WEBVTT - Surveillance: Global Vaccinations With Malpass

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Brownwitz. Daily we bring you

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcast, Suncloud, Bloomberg dot Com,

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and of course on the Bloomberg terminal. Right now is

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a treat, and it's a particular treat for me after

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 1>this pandemic to have parachuting into our Bloomberg building. The

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>World Bank president at David mel Pass I first learned

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of him at bear Stearns a few years ago. I

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>have said many times in speeches the single best English

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>skills crafted at Colorado College that I know. In Kaylee lines,

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>are are thrilled to welcome the President of the World

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Bank this morning. We have so much to talk about,

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>not enough time, but I need to address right away

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the delicacy of you, as President World Bank managing not

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a scandal but an uproar with the Managing Director of

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the International Monetary Fund when she was at the World Bank.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>You've made some very important public comments on that. Summarize

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that right now of how you stand in the study

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>of these allegations against Dr George. I think there are

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>bigger stories for us. This morning puts on a lot

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>of reports and so in there were staff raised questions

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>about the integrity of data dating back to eighteen and

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>so there was an outside firm brought in and a

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.479
<v Speaker 1>law firm to look at it. The Board of Directors

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>got into it, issued the report last week, so it

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>shows the irregularities and goes through that the report speaks

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>for itself. You speaks for the report. You think the

0:01:55.560 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>report stands on its own, And yes, and we've discontinued report.

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>But the World Bank is going to be very, very

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>involved in the business climate of developing countries. That's critical

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>for them in establishing jobs and getting growth, in in

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>attracting new investment, and that's the purpose of the report.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>The purpose of the World Bank UH is to help

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>countries and the people in the countries move ahead. So

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>we're still going to be doing that. You're gonna still

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>be doing that, and you have this report come out

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>as well, and we don't need to get into the

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>nitty gritty of who did this or what is further

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>action needed by you on this uproar? Are you saying

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>enough let's move on the reports discontinued and will be

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>forming and looking for new ways to have an impact

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>in those areas, which I think is the most important thing. Now.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Time is too valuable. Right now, it's seven dollars a

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>dose to get a vaccine. Why can't we vaccinate Africa? Yeah,

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>this is on everyone's mind, and it's frustrating the access

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>in the advanced economies where I'm share a task force

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that includes I, M F W T O and and

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>UH W H O uh. And so that there are

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>two point four billion excess doses in the advanced economies.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>So the goal would be to have those early doses,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the early deliveries go to developing countries where that can

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>use those particular doses. You know, it's a hard logistics

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>problem because you've got to get the dose from the

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>factory uh to a country that wants that kind of dose.

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>So some want m r NA doses, someone astras in

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>because some want J and J and so on down

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the list, and then they sit in a warehouse UH,

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and they're not applied to people, and that I think

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>has to be improved. We're urging and the task forces

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>urging the advanced economies to allow swapping of doses. So

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>if they have a delivery scheduled into their warehouses in

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>October of this year or November of this year, allow

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that dose to go to a developing country person and

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>take a later delivery schedule because you don't need it.

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>You've got excess two point four billion doses. Yeah, David

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>is an excellent point. We're having a conversation now about

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>boosters here in the US when there's many people throughout

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the world who have yet to receive their initial dose.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you need the Biden administration to take more leadership

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>on that, Hi, Kyley, You know I don't. I think

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the world has to come together and find solutions to

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>this problem. Um and the boosters are countries are going

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>to want to do that as needed in order to

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>protect their population. That still leaves huge amounts of excess

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>doses even in near term deliveries. What we're working on

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>right now is trying to get November and December deliveries

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>UH scheduled so that so that the countries can prepare

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>to deliver that kind You need a specific kind of

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>cold storage or of of of of trained personnel on

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>each kind of vaccine, and that needs. We need much

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>higher numbers of vaccine nations in developing countries and especially

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the poorest countries. Well, David, of course, the United States

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>has made pledges on the vaccine front. Also this week

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>at the United Nations, the President doubled his commitment in

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of financial aid for climate change for the developing world.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Just how bad is the climate problem in certain areas

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>of the world, and from an economic standpoint, how dire

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>is the situation the from an adaptation standpoint, so preparing

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>for changes in climate the countries are way behind and

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that costs lives. The World Bank, the World Banks the

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>biggest financeer of climate change in the among the international

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>financial institutions. In fact, more than half of all of

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the finances World Bank, and over half of that is

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>for adaptation, to to address countries that are in low

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>lying areas, people who are populations are at risk. The

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>other part of the equation is to identify and priorities

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>is the highest emitters of greenhouse gases and recognize that

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>those have to be brought down. Uh that that's a

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>small group of countries with big emissions, and more importantly,

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the projection of emissions into the future. You know, There

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>are nine thousand coal fired power plants today and there

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 1>are more in the planning stages. The permits are still

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>being issued. So these are big challenges that cost a

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of money and there has to be a plan

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>for actually, what do you do with the workers, how

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>do you change the system so that there's less greenhouse

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>gas emissions? And what can you impute on China? If

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 1>China is struggling with us to say the least, and

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the marginal development of coal, what does the World Bank

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>strategy to assist China to a better climate outcome. We

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>have some programs in China, but you know, it's income

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>has gone up and we're reducing that. Most of most

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>of our programs are are in the area of of

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>global public goods and space, typically marine plastic abatement, so

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that because a lot of plastic goes into the oceans

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>from the rivers in in China, and so we're working

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>on that heavily. With regard to COLE we do have

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>one project area in China, but wherever it is in

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the world, it's hard to decommission an actual operating coal plant.

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>The USC s that and that's a challenge. So the

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 1>world's looking to China to do that to to change

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and I saw yesterday China release the the idea that

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to finance coal fired plants outside China.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's a step around the world. We need all

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of those steps. We're gonna run out of time, President Malpass,

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>But I want to say that today is a wonderful symbol.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>You are the first public official to attend with US

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>lives since the pandemic began. It's a great, great moment, fabulous.

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>It's good to be here, Tom. I wish the times

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>were better because it's chaos across a lot of the

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>developing world. I'm not gonna ask you about FED policy today.

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>David bel Pess, thank you so much. He is a

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>World Bank UH president as well. We're gonna stop the

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>show right now on economics, finance, investment, and international relations

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and speak to an authority linking economics to ethics. You

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>cannot do better than Glenn Hubbard. He is the dean

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>emeritus of Columbia Business School, formally with the Council of

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Economic Advisors. He wants to talk I s l M

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>theory and the rest of it. We don't we want

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to talk Glenn Hubbard about course B eight five eight

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:47.559
<v Speaker 1>three dash zero zero one is you resurrected Columbia Business School.

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>You said we need to teach ethics, explain executive ethics

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and the idea that senior officials of the FED can

0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>do investment in bond derivative products. Well, the first part

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe easier than the second. On the first part, we

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>do believe in this business cool parctly any top business school,

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>that people need to understand the context of their decisions.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Part of that ethics, part of its understanding social structure.

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>The FED obviously does have to take a hard look

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>at its rules as as as Congress, as does the administrations.

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a matter for ongoing discussion and

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>cheer powells and a pretty strong signal. Well, it sound

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a pretty strong signal. But what should be the best

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>outcome here? I'm not talking about senators and the politicians

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>with feed officials and investment. What seems so germane to

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>me is yeah, they can buy apple. That doesn't matter.

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Thinking by stock market, even commodities, et F etcetera. But

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the trading of anything having to do with a fixed

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>income market did that strike you as odd? It does?

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think the safer route for a feteficial

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>would be to just toll on market measures, no trading

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>of individual stocks or speculation in the fixed income market.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, part of being an official is an abundance

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>of caution so that people don't challenge your motors. Professor,

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>do you think this is the credibility of the Federal

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Reserve or not? I don't. I don't. I think it's unfortunate,

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think it's certain the credibility of the FED.

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>The issues for the credibility of the FED really have

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>more to do with it stands on policy, frankly, than

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that on ethics. I want to talk about policy as well,

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>particularly social policy. Professor. This is the quote from Senator

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Path to me. He said, I think he's tolerated a politicization.

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>He's talking about Chair and Powell. The FED won't dring

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>into the social and cultural areas where the FED doesn't belong. Professor,

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Can I have your reaction to that quote? What you

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>make of that? Well, it's hard you know exactly what

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the center, to me is referring to the FED does

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have to think about the broader social construct of the economy.

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>At the same time, in any organization, you want to

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 1>be clear, you don't have mission creep. The job one

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>for the FED is low and stable inflation and maximum

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>employment and of course financial stability. Some of the social

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>concerns are wound up in that climate change, for example.

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>But I think the FED has to be very careful

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to focus on its key jobs and do them well.

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Confederate Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell continue to do his job well,

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.839
<v Speaker 1>do you think he deserves the second term? Well, out,

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>of course is for the presidents, is they not for me?

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>I think he does. The FED has had I think

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a good record during the pandemic period, and I agree

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>with everything, but certainly very good record. Cheer. Powell also

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>has had an ability that's quite distinctive to talk credibly

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 1>to people on both sides of the aisle. So I

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>think it would probably be a mistake not to reappointment. Well,

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about how he's going to talk at the

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>press conference today. Do you think the FED can credibly

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>separate a tapering of bond purchases month on month versus

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 1>starting to hike interest rates sometime in the future. Great question.

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Chair Power will try to do just that. It's

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>obvious that we have to have some sort of clear

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>taper signals. There's no reason for the Central Bank to

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be providing large asset purchases to bolster aggregate demand. What

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>inflation is high and supply is the problem. At the

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>same time, a lot of people realize the dot plots

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 1>are shifting the possibility of a rate increase into But

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I would expect Chair Powell to put off that discussion

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>if you can, during the press conference. But you're right,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it will come up, and it should. Glenn Hubbard, my

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>book of the year is In Defense of Public Debt.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I announced that quickly yesterday at Granted this is Barry

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Ike and Green's tour to force on public debt. You

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>are the single greatest spokesman of responsible not supply side theory,

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 1>but a more conservative theory. He opens his book with

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a senator from Kentucky, the junior senator from Kentucky, giving

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a traditional public at fear line. Speak to conservatives in America,

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>what do they get wrong about our ability to solve

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:12.440
<v Speaker 1>this public debt crisis we're in. Well, it's a great question, Tom,

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and debt for a household, for a business, for a country,

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>whether it's good or bad depends on what you're using

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.479
<v Speaker 1>it for. So the use of debt for the future,

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 1>fighting a war, infrastructure, part of even your ongoing budget

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>may make sense. The problem is when debt becomes UH

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>completely wrapped up into large social programs that are unfunded.

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>That's not just an American problem, it's a it's a

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>global problem. So the issue is not necessarily how high

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>debt is relative to GDP, but what we're doing for it,

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and eventually, of course that debt has to be UH.

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>The ancient glen, the ancient conservative issue is if the

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Senator from Vermont comes out with three point five trillion

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>dollars of social programs, whether it's to run doesn't matter,

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>it will not be applied correctly. Do you see where

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 1>we can have a two part fiscal expansion now where

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>we can have confidence it will be applied productively. I do,

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's different than what we're talking about. So Part

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>one is already on the table, which is something akin

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Even that bill is more

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>in it than I would call infrastructure, but it's certainly

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a very good bill. A second part would be more

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>opportunity focused, helping to connect and reconnect everybody to the economy.

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You can do that much more cheaply than the vast

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>non means tested expansion of social programs and Senator standards

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and others or suggest So is the three and a

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>half trillion dollar price tag to high? Glenn? Well, yes,

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>but I don't even think that's the question. The question

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>is not whether it's one and a half or three

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and now, but what is it? And if it's a

0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>massive expansion of the state in new entitlement programs, that's

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>something we ought to ask. Are we promoting work and

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>opportunity or were doing something else? That to me is

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the threshold question. But yes, the price tag is too high.

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>There's no credible pay fors for a bill that size. Well,

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the pay for is being considered are many, and they're

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>higher taxes in many shapes and forms. What do you

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>think the growth impact of that is? If those pay

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>fors do indeed mean that Americans, granted wealthier ones, have

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to pay more, what depends on the pay for? You know,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously the economy of will survive a modest increase in

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the corporate tax. I don't think it's a good idea

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of it will certainly be survived. But the small increases

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>in capital taxes that might have a chance of being

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>enacted are too small to really pay for anything like

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>this bill, and assumptions like savings and drug prices are

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a remaking of a system, not really a pay for

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it a conventional set. So the numbers just don't add up. Number.

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>What does Chairman Powell not want to say today? What's

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a single thing where he needs to be signed? Well,

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I would guess from his perspective he would rather punt

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>on the discussion of the path for rates as opposed

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to tapering. He probably also would like to avoid talking

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>about the other taper that's happening, which is the change

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>in the rate of growth of fiscal stimulus. Obviously, that

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>is a taper that will be affecting the economy too,

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and I doubt he wants to weigh into that. Glenn,

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>thank you as always fantastic to catch up with. Glen

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>That the Columbia Business School dean emeritus and former Council

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 1>of Economic Advisors Chairman. It's what's so important here, John,

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is the idea of will I go full brid We

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>know the measurement of you going full Yank in black rocket.

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Mr Fink have decided we need the British to go

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>full Yank in America. And our next guest is she's

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>she's gone full You want to have this discussion with

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful fund manager. Yeah, she is makes comes strategists

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>like Marin Watson. You want to do that now, which no,

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>we do right now. We can talk to her about

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the serious issues. But she's an example of the international

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 1>zai absolutely. Marilyn. Did you find that you lost your

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.439
<v Speaker 1>tease early on? Is that what happened? I think I

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>have lost them a little bit. I'm trying hard, not

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.159
<v Speaker 1>too though. I'm trying to keep them, but trying to

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.199
<v Speaker 1>slip might slip to Marilyn. It's great a catch up

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>with the Marilyn Watson here with this black Rock head

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of global fundamental fixed income strategy. Marilyn, let's just start

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>with today and the Federal Reserved Chairman. Something we've mentioned

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>through the morning how difficult it will be to communicate

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that the decision ultimately on Que's divorced from a decision

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.680
<v Speaker 1>on rates doesn't set the clock ticking when the dot

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>plot is going to be in the mix as well. Yeah,

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I think already they've done a relatively good job of

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to decouple tapering quee with a rising interest rates.

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they've been trying to signal that, and I

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>think they have done a relatively good job. I think

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>going into today, the market is expecting to maybe hear

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more around tapering, but they're not expecting

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>too much. Maybe, um, something will change in the forward

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>guidance about you know, substantial further progress being made UM,

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the market, I think, you know, the

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>consensus is that tapering will start at some point before

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of this year. UM. In terms of the dots,

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that is something that we and I think most market

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 1>participants will be keeping a very very keen eye on,

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 1>particularly as we see um, you know, maybe maybe an

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 1>adjustment two. It's hard to see, but we'll also get

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the nuance scored twenty four and at the moment, it

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>probably looks like the Federal still probably be suggesting in

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>adopt loots that you maybe have three great hikes in

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three and three and twenty twenty four. But

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's so far done a pretty good job

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of keeping a tapering queue and a changing interest rate's

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty well separated. Well. You do a world class job

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:57.360
<v Speaker 1>of synthesizing all that you read and fixed income dynamics,

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 1>what do you anticipate the real you will do well.

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting if you look at the behavior of

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the U S real yield versus h you European rates,

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>or you actually see that, you know, in relative terms,

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.199
<v Speaker 1>actually it takes a little bit higher um and I

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 1>think if you do start to see it, it depends

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the messaging taking away from this meeting, and if we

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 1>do get further guidance on you know, tapering towards the

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, maybe the dots as well, if

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>it's perceived to be a bit more dovish, then I

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>do think you will start to see you know, you'll

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>subb to see the dollar tick down, and you'll see

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>an impact on bill hills as well. But at the moment,

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I think we would expect to see real yields continue

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to basically tick up a little bit more if we

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 1>do get the FED you know, signaling that they are

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>going to continue with the framework of tapering before the

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 1>end of this year, and also the pace will be

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>important as well. I doubt Maryland that the dead ceiling

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.719
<v Speaker 1>in today's decision is going to have any real bearing

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>for the FED, But for the bond market, is there

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>a real fear there around the potential of that suspension

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>not being extended. Well, I think it's definitely another layer

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of uncertainty to add to the myth mix, and it's

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>certainly another risk. I think, Um, you know, not to

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>be fully discounting it, because it is it is a

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 1>risk that is still there. But you know, on the

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 1>base scenario it is that something will be agreed. But

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.199
<v Speaker 1>I think if you add that to to COVID, you

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>add it to the news around growth generally in China

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and elsewhere as well. Um, it's just another factor that

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I think will maybe contribute a little bit more to

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the ongoing volatility that we're seeing at the moment, perhaps

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>more in the exuerty market than actually in the fixing

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>com market at the moment. But as you say, I

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>think it is definitely a risk, and I think it

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>is to a certain extent big priced in. But at

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the moment um, you know, I think the general consensus

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that will be some sort of agreement, but most there

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 1>always is China will deal with it. China will deal

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.119
<v Speaker 1>with it. Marian, Thank you. Mann Watson. Black Rock Head

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a global fundamental fixed income strategy. GM four A is

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.199
<v Speaker 1>standing by he could join in this conversation. Airbus is

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 1>holding a sustainability day to day down in to lose

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>this clearly ahead of COP twenty six GM. Welcome to

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the program. Thank you very much, D for your time

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>this morning. You said this morning, and we'll talk about

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>sustainability first. You said this morning that you are becoming

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>quote more confident in your ability to deliver a hydrogen

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:41.919
<v Speaker 1>airplane by twenty five GM. The physics and the chemistry

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:46.159
<v Speaker 1>is incredibly complicated. What gives you that confidence. The physics

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>is complicated, but the physics works. Hydrogen technologies are not new.

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 1>They are used in in other sectors. We use them

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in space on our rockets, and we don't need the

0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>loads of physics to change to be able to use

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 1>hydrogen on our planes. So every day we become more confident.

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 1>But we think we need to have a plane. We

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>need to have the right fuel, the hydrogen available in

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the right quantity at the right place at the right time,

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and we need the regulations to be ready. So we

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 1>really need the work and the collaboration of many people

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 1>are on the globe to make it happen. And that's

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.399
<v Speaker 1>why we have the summit to create that momentum and

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>make sure we have the right level of collaboration to

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>make it happen on time. What problems do you still

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>need to solve, what needs fixing, and what kind of

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.439
<v Speaker 1>aircraft should we be thinking about. Is this kind of

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a turbo prop sized aircraft a smaller aircraft all were

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 1>thinking about a replacement for the eight three twenty family.

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:45.119
<v Speaker 1>The technology needs to be introduced in planes in aviation,

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 1>so we we need to be able to deliver the

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 1>fuel at the airport, to use the plane on board,

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to store it, to burn it, or to use it

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 1>in a fuel cell um. There's a lot at stake

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>at the moment we are looking at those technologies, so

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.639
<v Speaker 1>it's not really about solving problem ms. It's about understanding

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the way we can use the different technologies and then

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:09.639
<v Speaker 1>selecting the right ones. When it comes to the plane themselves,

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Hydrogen as different characteristics compared to carosine. There is a

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 1>higher weight density of hydrogen compared to carosine, so it's

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 1>good from the weight standpoint, but it takes more volume

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>for the same quantity of energy, So the planes we'll

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>have probably a different shape at different architecture, and we

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 1>will use less hydrogen in terms of weight less hydrogen

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.639
<v Speaker 1>on board than with carosin. So we believe we're gonna

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:40.479
<v Speaker 1>start with a short and mid range aircraft before it

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>goes to longer distances or other smaller planes at the beginning,

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 1>which is also something reasonable to consider when you look

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:51.680
<v Speaker 1>at the investment that will be required. So smaller investments

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>for smaller planes easier go to market um and more

0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>convenient when it comes to the use of hydrogen. Gim

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 1>we will just check thing about the North Atlantic and

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>figuring out exactly what kind of impacts President Biden's decision

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.199
<v Speaker 1>to reopen the North Atlantic is going to have. What

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 1>is your perspective on this, When do you think that

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna start seeing the reopening translating into new orders,

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>new white body orders for Airbus. You make a very

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 1>good connection between the reopening of the North Atlantic and

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the white body situation. Actually, what we see at the

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>moment is a recovery on domestic flights, original flights um

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 1>and therefore the production increase at their bus on the

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 1>narrow bodies, on the single lined business the E three

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty family. But we are still at a very low

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.159
<v Speaker 1>pace when it comes to white bodies. It's the beginning

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>of the process. I hope that the reopening of the

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>North Atlantic we trigger other positive news when it comes

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to long distance flights, but it's a bit premature. So

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.679
<v Speaker 1>we're very happy to see this first milestone. That was

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the most important one and probably the easier to get

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>UM on the on the long distance UH situation, So

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>very good news for the industry. We need to get

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it right. I think this is gonna be okay. It's

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>very important for the US and European airlines will very

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.640
<v Speaker 1>much help in general in the path to recovery. So

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 1>we're very happy with it. Um Um. Some in the

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>market is starting to believe that you will easily beat

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 1>your six hundred delivery target for this year. Um I'm

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:31.120
<v Speaker 1>wondering though, whether actually supply chain issues could end up

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:34.119
<v Speaker 1>having quite a negative impact. What are you seeing in

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the supply chain right now? Any chip shortages, any material shortages.

0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 1>What do you think the energy crisis in Europe is

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna mean? Do you think you're gonna have any impact

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 1>from that? Actually, we continue to operate in a very challenging,

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:53.119
<v Speaker 1>complex and unpredictable environment. We've delivered roughly three hundred planes

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in the first half, so six hundred for the fullier

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.119
<v Speaker 1>is something that really makes sense from our perspective. UM.

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:03.639
<v Speaker 1>The supply chain situation is challenging. They're really in a

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 1>difficult spot. As I said earlier, we're working very closely

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 1>with the supply chain. We're happy of what has been

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 1>achieved in the last eighteen months against the backdrop of

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.719
<v Speaker 1>this incredible crisis, but now that we start to ramp up,

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>we see some difficulties. Our suppliers have challenges in accessing

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>raw material, including on the prices of raw material UM,

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to reopen plants, to rehire or hire people for the

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 1>ramp up in this challenging situation, it's not easy UM,

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and we are prudent when it comes to the speed

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of recovery of our production. So again we believe the

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.679
<v Speaker 1>six hundred target we have given to ourselves is a

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:47.760
<v Speaker 1>realistic one. Always the pleasure. Thank you for your time.
