19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: I'm Stephen Carroll and I'm Caroline Heitke. Here are the

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: stories that we're following today this morning. UBS says it

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: plans to buy back more than five billion dollars in

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: stock this year. After posting better than expected results for

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the final three months of twenty two, the bank reported

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: net income for the fourth quarter of one point six

25
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: five billion. That's a beat on the analyst estimate of

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: just under one point three billion dollars. In a bullish

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: assessment of the results, UBS CEO Ralph Harmer has said

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: the bank's performance proves that their strategy is the right

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: one and they're not the only bank reporting today. Car No, absolutely,

30
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: We're just we've had our results from Swedbank fourth quarter

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: net interest incomes a beat ten point nine to billion

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Swedish kroner. Estimates had been for nine point four eight

33
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: billion Sweedbanks a full year dividend per share at nine

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: point seven five Swedish chronas, so that's actually slightly below estimates.

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: And then UniCredit boosting two investor returns to five point

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: two billion euros their fourth quarter net income two point

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: four six billion euros. That is a big beat on

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: the estimated one point zero three billion. Of course, that

39
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: UNI credit had been in focus. The chief executive officer,

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Andrea or Cell had told Bloomberg just earlier this month

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: that investors could expect higher payouts, So those results from

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: UniCredit for now. The i m F latest economic forecast

43
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: there's only one G seven economy in recession this year, Britain,

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: human parts has more. The International Monetary Fund says the

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: UK will be bottom of the class this year, and

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: his latest forecast, the IMF says Britain will be the

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: only G seven economy to shrink in twenty twenty three,

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: contracting by no point six percent. It says higher taxes

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: and interest rates, along with government spending the strate will

50
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: exacerbate pressures on the cost of living. Taken together that

51
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: saw the IMF downgrade is outlooked by a massive nine

52
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: tenths of apsentage points from its forecast just three months ago. Separately,

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: new analysis has found the Brexit it's costing the UK

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: economy a hundred billion pounds a year, some four percent

55
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: of g d P. The report by Bloomberg Economics says

56
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: the effects span everything from business investments to the ability

57
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: of companies to hire workers in London immune parts of

58
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Bloomberg day break Europe. Well, that may be the picture

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: in the UK, but there's better news globally. The International

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Monetary Fund has raised its economic outlook for the first

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: time in a year. The IMF is now forecasting global

62
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: growth of two point nine percent for the year. That's

63
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: up two tenths of one percent on previous expectations, but

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: chief economist Pierre Olivier Garinchas says that inflation is still

65
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: a major concern. The worry is more with what we

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: call core inflation that excludes energy and food prices are

67
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: typically more volatile, and this core inflation measures have shown

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: more precise and they have not picked yet in many countries,

69
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: and they are still far away from settle bank targets.

70
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: So the job is not done. So the job not done.

71
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: The i m F s cautious optimism, contrast with a

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: more die view from the World Bank. The Development Lender

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: slashed its growth forecast for most countries and regions earlier

74
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: this month. The sell off and the Danne Group shares

75
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: has continued today, amid allegations of market manipulation. The embattled

76
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: group has now seen some seventy four billion dollars wiped

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: off its value in a single week. The route comes

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: as a Danne seats to complete a multibillion dollar share

79
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: sale as flagship firm. Bloomberg Markets reporter Annabel Drewler says,

80
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: there are signs it's not going as planned. A Danni

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: Group has really been stuck relying on its existing investors,

82
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: and a big portion of that is actually coming from

83
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: the U a E. Because we have International Holding Co,

84
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: which is controlled by a key member of the Emirates

85
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Royal family. It's going to be investing about four hundred

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: million dollars in the share sales that represent about six

87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: percent of the offering. Annibal drew says that all eyes

88
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: are now on the final outcome of this fundraising Gamdany

89
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: has now slipped out of the world's top ten richest

90
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: people according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. And finally, Twitter has

91
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: made its first interest payment of the twelve and a

92
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: half billion dollar alone that was taken out by Elon

93
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: Musk to help with the takeover of the social media firm.

94
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Paying the estimated three hundred million dollar alone installment was

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: seen as a key test for the firm after owner

96
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: Elon Musk warned that the company could go bankrupt since

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: his purchase. Twitter has failed to pay millions of dollars

98
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: in rent though, and has been sued by multiple contractors

99
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: over on paid services. So those are top stories this morning.

100
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: Have to say. Looking around, the economic news is money.

101
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: It's not a great day to be Britain as it

102
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: no the only G seven country to shrink this year. Terrible. Also,

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: not only is the outlook slashed a massive nine tenths

104
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: of one percent from the October forecast, but also the

105
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: rm fcs are slow recovery in so basically two really

106
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: bleak years for Britain overall stagnation. Jeremy Hunt, who is

107
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: in this building on Friday to deliver a kind of

108
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: big economic address, he suggested that the UK is going

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: to do better than the MF expectations, but no, it's not.

110
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: It's not a particularly strong picture for Britain. And then

111
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: to look add to that the Bloomberg Economics report about

112
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: the cost of Briggs at a hundred billion pounds a year.

113
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: It's a very stark figure. You know, four percent the

114
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: economy's four percent. Our economists estimate that it might have

115
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: been that's due to business investment, lagging worker or lagging

116
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: supply of workers in the UK as well. So I mean, look,

117
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: it's it's not it's not a great picture to be

118
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: waking up to this morning, certainly from the economic point

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: of view. However, if you are looking to go on holidays,

120
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: things are looking a bit brighter because there are more airlines.

121
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Airlines are now being told they have to use their

122
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: their slots, the lad slots they have at airports in

123
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: the UK. They had been given some flexibility on the

124
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: rules during the endemic. That means that there will be

125
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: the possibility for airlines to schedule more flights this summer,

126
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: perhaps will avoid travel chaos this summer. Yeah, well maybe

127
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: you need to get away after that. Term what news

128
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: we've just delivered to But look the other thing that

129
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I've picked out on the Rumberg Ternel this morning that

130
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: you must read. I learned so much from Mehir Sharma,

131
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Bloomberg opinion columnist senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation

132
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: in New Delhi about what is happening in India with

133
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: the Adani issue. His columns, he points out that for

134
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: many in India, it's actually less about where the money

135
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: for a Danni investments comes from and much more whether

136
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: they succeed in building these ports and airports and roads

137
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: and railways that a Dani group has sort of specialized in.

138
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: I do encourage you to read the columns that he's

139
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: got out on the Terminal. They'll give you great insight

140
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: into what's happening in India. Yeah, and certainly and where

141
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: a Dannie sits within the sort of Indian psyche as

142
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: well as being this great hope for for so many

143
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: areas of the economy. So yeah, definitely a fascinating read

144
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: on the Terminal. Coming up next, scrapping EU legislation, counting

145
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: the cast of a new build and London's Mayor presses

146
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: ahead with you les now. The paper review on bluebirdday

147
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: Break Europe, the news you need to know from today's

148
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: papers and joining us now has been based Lean Garin's

149
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: to go through the newspapers, starting with the Financial Times,

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: which has the headline the UK Review of EU Laws

151
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: expanded after a thousand pieces of legislation added. So this

152
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: is about this phrase bonfar of legislation, isn't it? Yes,

153
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: it is indeed, Caroline, And three years on from Brexit

154
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: and the government's plan to review and revoke all these

155
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: EU laws by the end of this year. Has now

156
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: clearly become even tougher. The Ft says a discovery of

157
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: another one thousand pieces of EU legislation that were found

158
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: in the National archives have now been added to this

159
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: massive pie that needs to be looked over and analyze.

160
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: The plan is to review so much law so quickly.

161
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: This is attracting fierce, fierce criticism, but from lots of

162
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: different places, so from business groups, legal experts, trade unions

163
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: and even environmental groups, so widespread criticism there. However, the

164
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: government standing firm says the review process will maximize the

165
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: benefits of Brexit and test opportunities for reform. And I

166
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: just want to point to one thing in the paper

167
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: article to date, says a new Ipsos Mori pole found

168
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: that forty five cent of people across Britain thought Brexit

169
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: was going to be worse than they expected. Now that's

170
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: up from twenty eight percent in June twenty one, So

171
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: it looks like attitudes are changing too. Yeah, certainly, that's

172
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: something we've seen bearing out and polling for for months now,

173
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: and a really interesting aspect of the attitudes to Brexit

174
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: at the moment let's turn to the Telegraph next. Then

175
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: it says homeowners is twenty two tho pounds as one

176
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: in eight new build homes re sold for a loss.

177
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you're listening to this and you did

178
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: buy a new home, but homeowners are twice as likely

179
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: to resell new build homes at a loss, and that's

180
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: compared with older homes. And this is all according to

181
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: data from the estate agents. Hampton's data shows that eighty

182
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: one percent of new build owners who made a loss

183
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: were actually selling a flat and the average loss was

184
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand pounds. And I hear everyone out there

185
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: asking why, And that's because, as Paula Higgins, founder of

186
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the Homeowners Alliance lobby group, says, developers sell new builds

187
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: at a massive premium and then all of a sudden

188
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: they become in line with the area. Plus the government's

189
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: helped a buy scheme clearly also inflated the price of flats.

190
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: Hampton says new build flats sold fifty five percent. That's

191
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: a half since the scheme came in back in twenty

192
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: And it wasn't as if people didn't warn that actually

193
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: tinkering again with kind of an incentive to buy support

194
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: for first time buyers. Wasn't just going to put prices up.

195
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: There's the evidence, I thought. I think that's a really

196
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: interesting piece from the Telegraph. Just finally, this is so

197
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: controversial in London, I dare not speak its name. Eulers

198
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: the Guardian. The London Mayor vows suppress ahead with l

199
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: as the Ultra Low Emission Zone plan at the launch

200
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: of a scrappage scheme and it's also divisive in office

201
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: today we mentioned it and I feel like the debate

202
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: went on and on. So Sadi Khan is insisting this

203
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: plan will go ahead in August despite opposition. Caroline and

204
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: Stephen from councils and the public for London Boroughs have

205
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: actually threatened illegal action. Yesterday, the London Mayor said he

206
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: was confident of defending any court case brought against the

207
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: U LESS plans as he launched the scrappage scheme for

208
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: poleting vehicles. The Ultra Low EMISSI next zone is going

209
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: to be expanded to the Greater London boundary and that's

210
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: going to be happening in August. The battle for cleaning continuous.

211
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Garran's thank you very much. Now there are encouraging signs

212
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and much of the global economy according to the I

213
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: m F. Bloomberg's Richards Salamash caught up with the Funds

214
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: chief economist Pierre Olivier goren Shah to ask them about

215
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: their forecast. We are looking at is what effectively is

216
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: going to be still a challenging here. I mean, what

217
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: we're projecting for three is two point nine percent growth

218
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: and then rebounding to three point one. These are still

219
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: relatively low growth numbers for the global economy, well below

220
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: what we averaged from two thousand to twenty nineteen, for instance,

221
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: but still it's an upgrade compared to what we were

222
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: expecting back in October. And this is due to resilience. Resilience, resilience.

223
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: We've had more resilient households in the US and businesses

224
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: as well. We've had resilience to the energy crisis in Europe.

225
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: A lot of economies have done better than was initially expected.

226
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Labor markets have been very very tight in many emerging

227
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: and advanced economies as well. And then in addition to

228
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: all this, you have the reopening of the Chinese economy

229
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: that is promising to give a boost to global activity.

230
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: In h now that resilience Olivier it is making the

231
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: job of center bank is perversely harder here And what's

232
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: your take, Well, there is a little bit of good

233
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: news on the inflation front, but we should not exaggerate it.

234
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: So what we are seeing is that global inflation headline

235
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: inflation has peaked already in and is coming down in

236
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: the vast majority of countries. The worry is more with

237
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: what we call core inflation that excludes energy and food

238
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: prices are typically more volatile, and this core inflation measures

239
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: have shown more persistent and they have not picked yet

240
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: in many countries, and they are still far away from

241
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: settle bank targets. So the job is not done. And

242
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: you are right a point out that more resilience on

243
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: activity could mean more price pressures, could mean that it's

244
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: harder for centle banks to bring down inflation to target,

245
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: and therefore they might need to do more. I think

246
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: that your Busschristina Cristalina Georgieva said. Of course, the the

247
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: COVID which I said, the post COVID zero China is

248
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: going to perhaps to be one of the impetus is

249
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: for growth, as you've just alluded to. But it's also

250
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: could be the next sort of inflation headache as well well. Certainly,

251
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: as the Chinese economy reopens, that's going to put pressure

252
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: on a number of primary commodities markets, energy markets, etcetera.

253
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: But let's keep in mind that even with that China's reopening,

254
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: we are grading China quite a bit. We're projecting five

255
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: point two percent growth in that's Zual point eight percentage

256
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: point upward revision for China for for this year. It's

257
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: still the global economy is slowing down and and in

258
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: terms of the overall demand demand for energy and UH

259
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: and commodities, that is really what is going to be

260
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: the driving force. So China is doing better, but the

261
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: global economy is still cooling off, and in our projections

262
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: we are factoring in that we anticipate we expect prices

263
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: of energy and UH and other commodities to actually decline

264
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: through the year. Now if also highlighted that the risks

265
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: do remain to the downside, Why well, I've mentioned already

266
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: that we are far from having won the fight against inflation.

267
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: There could be a lot more persistence in inflation. We

268
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: have had a few good prints. It's encouraging, it's in

269
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: the right direction. But let's not think that somehow the

270
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: job is done. Far from it. There could be price

271
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: pressures that could be wage pressures. There could be an

272
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: escalation of the war in in in Ukraine that again

273
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: sends energy and commodity prices through the roof. So there

274
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: are a number of factors that could complicate the outlook

275
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: in and I would make potentially a recession more likely.

276
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Global recession more likely, may require more tightening by central bank.

277
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: We could have also a tightening of financial conditions. So

278
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: far this has not happened too much, but this is

279
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: a new environment. We have to be very vigilant in

280
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: terms of the vulnerabilities in the financial markets, in the

281
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: non bank financial institutions and housing sector. This tightening of

282
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: policy rates by centle bank is something that is really

283
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: changing the environment here and we have to be very careful.
