00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: proud US GDP slows at a perfect pace for the FED,

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: chipping in Japan and the Netherlands to join the US,

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: and limiting China's semiconductor ambitions. The BO week gets a

Speaker 1: warning from its ex Rolls Royce burning platform, and Rishie

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: SUONAC looks to the student economy. Those are the stories

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: we're looking at in today's newspapers. And I'm Leanne Garon's

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: plus managing a diversity drive. Bank of America modes m

12

Speaker 1: Business at Good Morning I'm Stephen Carroll and I'm Caroline Hecker.

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Here are the stories that we're following today. In a

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: major speech at Bloomberg's European headquarters here in London, the

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will lay out his plan for the

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: UK economy. Hunt is expected to reject calls for tax

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: cuts while arguing the country can use it's bregsit freedoms

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: as a catalyst for prosperity. Former Chancellor Philip Hammond says

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: the country has a major issue it needs to address.

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: It's about productivity. It always was about productivity and it

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: always will be. The UK's shockingly low rate of productivity growth,

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: which we're beginning to tackle with things like improvements in

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: the technical skills agenda, but we've still got a huge

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: amount to do and we just can't say it often enough.

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: It is about productivity that is the route to sustainable

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: higher standards of living. That was the former Chancellor Philip Hamment.

33
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: His comments reflected in the data which show the UK

34
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: is the only G seven economy with GDP below pre

35
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: COVID levels. Will be speaking to Bloomberg Anker and Edwards

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: for more about this story in just a moment and now.

37
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: Growth in the US economy beta expectations in the final

38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: quarter of two GDP expanded at an annualized pace of

39
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: two point nine percent, down from three in the third quarter.

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: The data suggests that there's still a path to a

41
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: soft landing for the FED. Reacting to the news, President

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Biden gave this Bolitio assessment. Jobs are the highest in

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: American history. Wages are up, and they're growing faster than inflation.

44
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Over the past six months, inflation has gone down every month,

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: and god willing will continue to do that. Despite President

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: Biden's optimism, some economists believe that there are warning signs

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: in the data. Personal consumption rose by less than economists

48
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: had expected. The two point one percent gain suggests a

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: recession continues to be a significant risk for America. Shares

50
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: in the Adanne Groups companies are continuing to fall today,

51
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: with now more than thirty billion dollars wiped off their

52
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: market value after a scathing report from a short seller

53
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: earlier this week. In a call with investors, the Conglamorate

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: called Hindenburg's report devoid of facts and bogus. The Adanne

55
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Group is also understood understood to be exploring legal action

56
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: against the investment research firm Our Asia Equities reporter Abishak

57
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Vishnoy says market reaction will be key today is the

58
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: real tist because you know the share sale is going

59
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: to open up for retail investors and you know other

60
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: other investors in general. So the response to that and

61
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: how much stocks moved today would establish, you know where

62
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: where the sentiment, whether Heinenberg's report has actually changed the sentiment,

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: it marks a U turn in Adani groups again be

64
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: uning rally, or it's just our dent along the way.

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: A visionaries assessment comes. As the investor Bill Ackman said

66
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: he found Hindenburg. The Hindenburg does cier on the A.

67
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Daney Group highly credible and extremely well researched. And now

68
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: sources tell Bloomberg that Japan and the Netherlands are set

69
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: to join the US in limiting China's access to advanced

70
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: semiconductor machinery. Bloomberg's You and Potts has the details. It's

71
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: shaping up to be a powerful alliance to undercut China's

72
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: ambitions to build its own domestic chip industry. Bloomberg has

73
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: learned that Dutch and Japanese officials will conclude talks today

74
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: on setting limits on what can be supplied to Beijing.

75
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: The Netherlands is to expand restrictions on a SML, which

76
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: will prevent it from selling advanced chip making machinery to China,

77
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: and Japan is likely to set similar limits on Nikon.

78
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: The joint effort will expand restrictions the US government unveiled

79
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: in October. China has fall back against the u S

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: moves with the complaints to the World Trade Organization in London,

81
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: i'mun pot spin bog day, but europe Intel shares fell

82
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: in late trading after a dire forecast for the first quarter.

83
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: The U S chip maker expects maximum sales of eleven

84
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: point five billion dollars, far short of analysts estimates of

85
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: fourteen billion. CEO pak Elsinger used or urged investors to

86
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: think of the bigger picture. I want to remind everyone

87
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: that we are on a multi year journey. We remain

88
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: focused on the things that are within our control as

89
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: we navigate short term headwinds while executing to our long

90
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: term strategy. Guessing there is now attempting a radical acceleration

91
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: into advanced semiconductor technology. The figures indicate, though the slumber

92
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: demand for personal computers may persist this year. And in

93
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: corporate news this morning, Bank of America has named three

94
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty new managing directors and more than half

95
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: are from underrepresented groups. It's the third year in a

96
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: row that the bank has awarded the majority of m

97
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: D roles to women all people of color, with Wolfster

98
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Banks pledging to improve their diversity as senior levels. Competition

99
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: for top talent is heating up across the industry. Those

100
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: our top stories this morning. Of course, we are looking

101
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: ahead to Jeremy Hunt's big speech here at Bloomberg's offices

102
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: in London, so more on that in a moment as well.

103
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: Another name that was visiting us yesterday there was the

104
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Irish Finance Minister Michael McGrath, who met with Jeremy Hunt yesterday.

105
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: They were talking about the course of the Northern Iron

106
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Protocol talks and he did say that things had moved

107
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: to a new level in advancement towards a solution there.

108
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: So's some positive signals coming from the Irish side in

109
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: that conversation. Yeah, absolutely, And of course we'll bring you

110
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: the chance of Jeremy hunt speech live here on radio

111
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: later on this morning. Well, the other issue. I think

112
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: that was quite interesting for me. A bit more in

113
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: the weeds, but Esthma the European market watchdog again warning

114
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: London based hedgephons and asset managers to build up their

115
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: presence in the European Union after breggsit. It's not enough

116
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: just to have a few Apparently the big band banks,

117
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: according to our reporting, are really under pressure to move

118
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: senior staff and the decision makers the places like Paris

119
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: and Frankfurt and Ouncer down. Perhaps more flexibility for the

120
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: smaller businesses more to watch their up. Next, the BWI

121
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: gets a warning from its ex Rolls Royce's burning platform

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: and soon that it looks to the student economy. Now.

123
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: The paper review on blue birdday Break Europe the news

124
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: you need to know from today's papers to us now

125
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: it's been basically and Garan's to take us through the

126
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: interesting newspaper stories. The Telegraph headline reads the Bank of

127
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: England must slow down interest rate rises. WARN's ex chief

128
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: economists tell us more lean Caroline, good morning to you

129
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: and thank you. Yes, a warning from their ex Andy

130
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Haldane and here's the Bowees former chief economists says bluntly,

131
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: flickers of life in the economy risk being hindered by

132
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Rishi Sunac's lack of a medium turned plan for growth.

133
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: The ft says. Haldane is also warning that families were

134
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: content need to be hit by painful price risers and

135
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: also falling real incomes this year. He was actually speaking

136
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: to the BBC on Thursday where he also criticized the

137
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: interest rate risers, saying he would have preferred to have

138
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: seen the Bank of England and other central banks starting

139
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: to raise their rates a little bit sooner. Hal Dane

140
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: does believe this would have helped to nip inflation in

141
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the bud. The banks expected to raise interest rates for

142
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: the tenth time in a row next week to four percent,

143
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: which hal Dane is really fearing will cause more pain

144
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: for households as mortgage rates will also climb. And we're

145
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: in a cost of living crisis as we know, food

146
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and lots of other things are extremely expensive. Energy included

147
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: Okay Leanne in the Financial Times. Meanwhile, they have comments

148
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: from Rolls Royce's new chief warning the company is a

149
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: burning platform. Well he didn't hold back, so the new

150
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: CEO of Rolls Royce has given this brutal assess and

151
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: of Britain's flagship engineering group and according to the FT,

152
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: he has told employees it must transform the way it

153
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: operates or it will just not survive. This is almost

154
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: an iconic brand here in the UK and in a

155
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: global address broadcaster staff, parts of which were shared with

156
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: the newspaper, so we're shared with the FT. He said

157
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: investors were losing patients with the iconic British band brand.

158
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: He used the address to launch a transformation program with

159
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: a focus on efficiency and optimism. Now, many people who

160
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: work within Rolls Royce was saying this has been interpreted

161
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: as a signal to staff to expect another round of

162
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: job cuts, in particular among white collar workers as they

163
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: do try to get the company back on track. So

164
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: all not terribly well in sort of industrial Britain. What

165
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: about the Times headline though, when it comes to trying

166
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: to help with this very tight labor market reci sooner

167
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: foreign student plan to show up economy. Yeah, this is

168
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: a really interesting one and it's in the Times. And

169
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: as you say, foreign students would be allowed to work

170
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: longer hours under plans to boost the economy. And this,

171
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: of course, Caroline, as you say, comes in a really

172
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: tight labor market. Where there's loads of vacancies, especially in

173
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: hospitality and retails. So ministers are now looking at ways

174
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: to encourage both British and over see students to take

175
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: more part time jobs really to deal with all the

176
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: shortages we're seeing. Britain's six hundred and eighty thousand overseas

177
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: students currently can only work twenty hours a week during

178
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: term time, but the newspaper says discussions have begun within

179
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: government about either raising that cap to thirty hours or

180
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: removing it entirely. But remember, Richie Sunac is concerned that

181
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: he will struggle to fulfill his pledge that the economy

182
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: will grow this year unless the government can really deal

183
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: with the surge in job vacancies. And it will be

184
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: interesting to see against Suella Brahman's plans really for immigration

185
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: at this time. Yeah, that's such an interesting story in

186
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: the Times today, Leon Garran's thank you very much for

187
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: that review. Afterday's newspapers. Now, the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will

188
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: speak here at Bloomberg's European headquarters in London later this morning.

189
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: He's expected to reject calls for tax cuts and also

190
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: make the case for how Brexit will drive economic Growth.

191
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg anchor Anna Edwards will be speaking to the chance

192
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: later and she joins us, now, really good to have you, Anna.

193
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: What do we know then about what's going to be

194
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: in this important speed Yeah, good morning, Good morning everybody.

195
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: So he's going to be speaking here at Bloomberg and

196
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: then he's going to be giving an interview to us

197
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: a little bit later on. But what we do know

198
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: then is he is set to rule out tax cuts

199
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: and this is of course, in the build up to

200
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: the budget in March. He's been under a lot of

201
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: political pressure, in particular from his back benches to agree

202
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: to some kinds of tax cuts. Some in the back

203
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: benches of the Tory Party still think that this is

204
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: the way forward, despite the termoil that was created in

205
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: markets by unfunded tax cuts around the mini budget. So

206
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: that's a battle that he is, it seems, still fighting.

207
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,479
Speaker 1: He's also going to talk about some of the positives

208
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: as he sees them for the UK economy and in

209
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: the post Brexit world, in particular drawing on the massive

210
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: amount of money that is available in in for private

211
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: investments in the UK and trying to channel that into

212
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: green projects, and the reason that this was not available

213
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: previously is because of solvency to regulations that meant that

214
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: insurance companies had to keep large amounts of capital tied

215
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: up on their balance sheets. Now post Brexit, we know this,

216
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: this has been talked about for some time. He's able

217
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: to then remove the solvency to regulation, which frees up

218
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: more money for investment, So there'll be some figures around that.

219
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: And he also wants to talk about productivity. This has

220
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: been an issue we've talked about on the program many times.

221
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: It's been something that holds back the UK economy for

222
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: such a long time. Tackling it head on is the

223
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: words he's going to use a little bit later on,

224
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: in particular offering support individual sectors. And we know from

225
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: our own reporting that the semiconductor, the chip sector could

226
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: be in focus there the collapse of that business, British

227
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: roleter course growing into into stark relief, the difficulty that

228
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: perhaps the UK has at the moment in establishing those

229
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: kinds of important strategic tech businesses. So that will be

230
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: a focus. Are the key questions you're hoping to get

231
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: answers to when he speaks. The chance well, a lot

232
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: of our focus given that this is Bloomberg. We will

233
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,119
Speaker 1: be talking about the economy, will be talking about investments,

234
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: investments in the in the UK economy, account corporation tax

235
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: is set to go up by six percentage points in April.

236
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: What that means for business at a time when energy

237
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: bills might still be going up, even though wholesale gas

238
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: prices have been coming down. Will be exploring that and

239
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: whether there is given that he said he's ruling out

240
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: tax carts, are there is there any room to maneuver

241
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: around that at all? Will be will be trying to

242
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: dig into that a little bit. What does all of

243
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: this mean for business. We also live in a fast

244
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: changing geopolitical environment. The news we carried earlier this week

245
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: about the UK government support for the chip sector, and

246
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: the news overnight about Japan and the Netherlands joining in

247
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: a pact to try and keep China away from chip technology.

248
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: All of that's playing out very quickly. And where does

249
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: the UK stand in that the Inflation Reduction Act in

250
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: the in the United States is certainly going to incentivize

251
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: a lot of investment there is that to the detriment

252
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 1: of the UK. So these are certainly going to be

253
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: some of the conversations will have and perhaps we'll mention

254
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: the name Nadine's are we perhaps that might come okay?

255
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: The have the issue around taxes, um, yeah, and and

256
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: no doubt there will be some quite robust questioning around

257
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: leveling up. Because Bloomberg's own Joe May's is the reporter

258
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: plus team who have done the deep dive into the

259
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: big pledge by government to bring up the rest of

260
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: the UK, bring up the other regions in Britain. It's

261
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: a very very difficult challenge that the government's not doing

262
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: well us right, and there's so there's a lot of

263
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: questions around the budget and how much room for maneuver

264
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: the government really has to do their leveling up spending

265
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: to settle some of the strike activity that we've seen

266
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: taking place, of course, but but in terms of expectations

267
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: around the budget, he's going to rule out tax cuts

268
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: and we do have to remember there's not an election

269
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: until twenty four Eurasia groups saying, of course, giveaways much

270
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: more likely ahead of that than now. This is Bloomberg
