Samantha Simmonds and Tim Willcox.

0:00:070:00:10

All systems go -

the World Bank says the global

0:00:100:00:14

economy is set accelerate this year.

0:00:140:00:15

But will everyone feel the benefit?

0:00:150:00:17

Live from London, that's our top

story on Wednesday, 10th January.

0:00:170:00:27

It's being predicted the global

economy will operate at close

0:00:370:00:41

to full potential for the first time

since the financial crisis of 2008.

0:00:410:00:44

We'll assess what impact that

will have on real prosperity.

0:00:440:00:47

Also in the programme:

0:00:470:00:50

Airbus seals a huge deal

with China to supply 184 jets.

0:00:500:00:53

We'll assess what this

means for the company.

0:00:530:01:00

Here is how the markets are looking.

0:01:000:01:04

Today we're bringing

the sparkle to Business Live

0:01:040:01:06

we'll be talking Swarovski crystals

with the great, great granddaughter

0:01:060:01:10

of the company's founder.

0:01:100:01:11

As always, do get in

touch with your thoughts

0:01:150:01:19

Hello and welcome to Business Live.

0:01:220:01:28

Now, after a decade of hardship and

austerity, things are looking up.

0:01:280:01:32

The World Bank says global economic

growth is likely to strengthen this

0:01:320:01:35

year and that it will be the first

year since the 2008 crisis when the

0:01:350:01:40

world will be operating close to its

full potential. Overall global

0:01:400:01:44

economic growth is expected to edge

up to 3.1%. That's after a much

0:01:440:01:49

stronger than expected 2017.

Advanced economies will be around

0:01:490:01:53

2.2%. Emerging economies are likely

to grow by 4.5%. Generally this is

0:01:530:02:00

because of increased investment in,

improved confidence and a rebound in

0:02:000:02:04

commodity prices. This last one is

especially important for developing

0:02:040:02:08

economies. Well the World Bank says

the focus should turn to the

0:02:080:02:11

policies needed to boost potential

growth and living standards.

0:02:110:02:16

Dean Turner is an Economist

at UBS Wealth Management.

0:02:160:02:19

Thank you very much for joining us

on the programme. Any surprises

0:02:190:02:22

here, do we think or not?

The

overall message in terms of global

0:02:220:02:27

growth holding up at levels similar

to what we saw last year, there has

0:02:270:02:32

been an upgrade, but there is not

much change. It is not a surprise,

0:02:320:02:35

but it is an encouraging story.

In

terms of inflation, looking at the

0:02:350:02:39

China figures?

In terms of

inflation, clearly we have been

0:02:390:02:43

through a period of extraordinary

low inflation. It seems that as we

0:02:430:02:46

are moving into 2018 the process of

normalisation will continue. In

0:02:460:02:50

terms of what we have seen in China

today, I mean, the numbers are

0:02:500:02:53

pretty much in line with what the

markets were expecting.

1%, 1.5%?

0:02:530:02:59

Numbers around 1.8% for CPI in China

which is what the markets was

0:02:590:03:03

expecting, but it is important to

remember with inflation in China, it

0:03:030:03:06

is driven by housing costs and food

price inflation so it can be

0:03:060:03:10

volatile in the short-term.

I was

talking to the author of the report

0:03:100:03:14

earlier and she was saying that it

is cyclical and this is to be

0:03:140:03:17

expected and it is about time

really, but also to be expected will

0:03:170:03:20

be a downturn, she said, what needs

to happen now, everyone needs to

0:03:200:03:23

manage their economy to say make

sure that doesn't happen and learn

0:03:230:03:26

the lessons of the past, what does

the global economy need to do to

0:03:260:03:29

keep this going?

I think what we

have seen so far in this cycle, we

0:03:290:03:34

have seen the beginning of monetary

policy, normalisation, we are likely

0:03:340:03:42

to see further normalisation take

place this year within Europe. We

0:03:420:03:46

are likely to see the quantitative

easing programme slowing, but

0:03:460:03:48

perhaps coming to an end this year

as well. The message to take away

0:03:480:03:53

from this is we are entering a

period of normality, normal

0:03:530:03:57

identitiesation and that can only be

a good thing.

And what about who is

0:03:570:04:02

making the money, who is getting the

benefits of the growth, is it the

0:04:020:04:07

richer getting richer?

One of the

bigger economies that we have seen

0:04:070:04:12

throughout this whole cycle is what

is happening to real wage growth. It

0:04:120:04:15

is not just in the UK, but globally

and we have got very tight labour

0:04:150:04:19

markets, not just in the UK, but the

US as well and there are signs that

0:04:190:04:23

we're getting tight labour markets

in the eurozone as well. We're not

0:04:230:04:27

saying wage growth come through yet

and that's going to be the key thing

0:04:270:04:30

to focus on this year and that's

going to be the key thing that

0:04:300:04:32

improves living standards.

All

right, Dean good to see you as ever,

0:04:320:04:37

thank you for coming in, thank you.

0:04:370:04:39

Let's take a look at some of

the other stories making the news.

0:04:390:04:46

French officials say China has

placed an order for a 184

0:04:460:04:49

Airbus A320 airliners

on the final day

0:04:490:04:51

of President Emmanuel Macron's

visit to the country.

0:04:510:04:53

Final details of the deal

are in the process of being worked

0:04:530:04:56

out with the Chinese authorities.

0:04:560:04:58

Boeing says it delivered a record

763 jetliners last year -

0:04:580:05:01

which means it's likely

to retain its title as the world's

0:05:010:05:04

biggest plane-maker.

0:05:040:05:05

The firm says it also

received more than 900 net

0:05:050:05:07

new aircraft orders last

year worth $135 billion.

0:05:070:05:16

Shares in Kodak soared nearly 120%

after it revealed plans

0:05:160:05:18

to mint its own crypto-currency.

0:05:180:05:19

The US firm says it will be working

with Wenn Media Group

0:05:190:05:22

to launch the Kodak Coin.

0:05:220:05:23

It has also given details of a plan

to install rows of Bitcoin mining

0:05:230:05:27

rigs at its headquarters in the US.

0:05:270:05:34

Apple has announced that its iCloud

services in mainland China will be

0:05:340:05:38

operated by Chinese company GCBD,

from next month.

0:05:380:05:40

It says the partnership will allow

Apple to "improve the speed

0:05:400:05:43

and reliability" of iCloud services.

0:05:430:05:44

But there are concerns that the step

will give Beijing more opportunity

0:05:440:05:47

to monitor its citizens and others

living in the country.

0:05:470:05:54

Our China correspondent,

Robin Brant, joins us from Shanghai.

0:05:540:05:57

Robin, what can you tell us?

0:05:580:06:05

Well, it's another sign of how

important China is to Apple's

0:06:050:06:10

strategy. Going forward as it tries

to strengthen even further. We had

0:06:100:06:15

confirmation today of an

announcement in the middle of last

0:06:150:06:20

year that Apple's iCloud services in

mainland China will be essentially

0:06:200:06:25

handed over to a company linked to

the Government down in the south of

0:06:250:06:31

China and this company GCBD will run

Apple's iCloud services in China and

0:06:310:06:37

that means there is going to be new

terms and conditions. In an e-mail

0:06:370:06:41

sent out to iCloud users in China,

those who have Chinese accounts, it

0:06:410:06:45

warned them that they should look at

the terms and conditions and said

0:06:450:06:49

photographs, documents and any

back-ups will be subject to

0:06:490:06:52

different terms and conditions by

the end of February and it said

0:06:520:06:55

anyone who might not be happy with

that, could deactivate their account

0:06:550:07:00

or change it to a different country.

This is just the latest sign of

0:07:000:07:05

Apple having to comply, it says,

with Chinese regulations and the key

0:07:050:07:10

regulation here is that any firm

wishing to provide cloud computing

0:07:100:07:13

services must have the servers based

in China and they will be subject to

0:07:130:07:18

Chinese laws and rules, laws and

rules which some critics say are

0:07:180:07:21

different to regulations say in the

European Union or in the United

0:07:210:07:24

States.

What do we know about GCBD?

Well,

0:07:240:07:32

GCBD is a partnership, Apple

describes. It is owned by the

0:07:320:07:37

Government. It is a place that wants

to become the big data centre of

0:07:370:07:41

this country, but the issue for many

critics this is an entighty of the

0:07:410:07:46

Chinese government, the Communist

Party as well and they think it is a

0:07:460:07:49

particularly sinister turn of

events.

Robin, thanks.

0:07:490:07:54

Another record close in the US,

for the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq.

0:07:540:07:57

But that hasn't carried

through to everywhere in Asia

0:07:570:08:00

where many markets are slightly down

except for Hong Kong

0:08:000:08:05

which has risen slightly,

helped by energy shares climbing

0:08:050:08:07

with another surge in oil prices.

0:08:070:08:11

Let's look at the European markets,

the FTSE up slightly. The others

0:08:110:08:16

down.

0:08:160:08:16

Samira Hussain has the details

about what's ahead

0:08:160:08:18

on Wall Street Today.

0:08:180:08:20

On Wednesday the US Labour

Department will release export

0:08:200:08:22

and import prices for December.

0:08:220:08:26

Now, these measures show how prices

of a market basket of goods

0:08:260:08:29

in international trade change

from one month to the next.

0:08:290:08:31

Now, these numbers are used

to predict possible future

0:08:310:08:34

inflation, to set fiscal

and monetary policy,

0:08:340:08:39

to measure exchange rates,

forecast futures prices and,

0:08:390:08:41

of course, to negotiate

trade contracts.

0:08:410:08:50

Now, the import prices are expected

to have increase by 0.5%

0:08:500:08:52

in the month after a rise

of 0.7% in November.

0:08:520:08:55

Export prices are likely to have

risen 0.3% in December,

0:08:550:08:57

compared to a 0.5% rise

in the month before.

0:08:570:09:03

Home-builder, Lennar, will report

higher profits and revenue

0:09:030:09:04

for the last three months.

0:09:050:09:07

The improving job market has been

lifting demand for housing

0:09:070:09:09

and investors will be looking

for comments on the impact of

0:09:090:09:12

changes in tax laws on home sales.

0:09:120:09:22

Nandini Ramakrishnan

is Global Market Strategist at JP

0:09:250:09:27

Morgan Asset Management.

0:09:270:09:36

Thank you very much for being here.

So you want to talk about

0:09:360:09:40

unemployment in the eurozone first

of all?

Yes, it was released

0:09:400:09:44

yesterday with a significant fall.

If you look at it on the month it

0:09:440:09:49

fell 08.1% -- 0.1%. It is the

largest fall in unemployment over

0:09:490:09:52

the past 12 months in the eurozone.

That means in real terms that people

0:09:520:09:55

are employed more than ever in the

eurozone. Good for consumers, good

0:09:550:10:01

for confidence and retail sales, the

more people are in work, the better

0:10:010:10:05

the economy does. That's one of the

reasons we like the eurozone.

0:10:050:10:08

Something good for France on the

closing day of that Macron trip to

0:10:080:10:12

China?

The Airbus deal.

184?

A lot

of money on the table there if it

0:10:120:10:19

gets finalised. A big, big symbolic

thing as well for France because the

0:10:190:10:25

Macron presidency was based on

making France a leader in the

0:10:250:10:28

business world and making it more

efficient for global business and if

0:10:280:10:31

the deal goes through with China,

the leading economic fire house of

0:10:310:10:34

the world then that could be big.

That gift of a horse has really paid

0:10:340:10:37

off.

It could be.

Oil prices sitting

at a three year high?

First, we have

0:10:370:10:44

to remember that the production has

been cut. So, the reason why the oil

0:10:440:10:48

price fell in the past few years

because the producers were pumping

0:10:480:10:51

oil into the markets and the price

was pushed down by that over supply.

0:10:510:10:55

Now we have the producers pulling

back a bit, we are seeing a higher

0:10:550:10:59

oil price and some of the highest

levels we have seen in the past few

0:10:590:11:02

years and while that's important for

just the oil price, it is important

0:11:020:11:05

for the countries and economies that

export that. They're in a better

0:11:050:11:10

position because they can get more

money off the sales, but the people

0:11:100:11:13

who buy that. So it will be

interesting to watch.

What do you

0:11:130:11:16

make of this World Bank report about

economic growth.

I think it is

0:11:160:11:19

emphasising what we have been saying

for a while, growth is looking good

0:11:190:11:22

around the world for the first time

since the economic crisis, we are

0:11:220:11:26

seeing every economy in the globe

growing and that's huge. In 2009 if

0:11:260:11:32

you look at the map, most economies

were shrinking.

Good to have you on.

0:11:320:11:39

Thank you very much.

0:11:390:11:43

Still to come, we'll be

joined by Nadja Swarovski,

0:11:440:11:46

the first ever woman to be appointed

to the executive board of Swarovski.

0:11:460:11:49

You're with Business

Live from BBC News.

0:11:490:11:53

The UK's second largest supermarket,

Sainsbury's, has raised its profit

0:12:010:12:05

guidance after record sales

during Christmas week.

0:12:050:12:08

Sainsbury's said it now expected

annual profits to be up

0:12:080:12:10

to £20 million better than expected

despite supermarkets facing

0:12:100:12:15

a "challenging" market.

0:12:150:12:17

The chain sold 1.1% more in the 15

weeks to 6th January,

0:12:170:12:19

with grocery sales up 2.3%.

0:12:200:12:24

Joining us now is

Neil Wilson, senior market

0:12:240:12:26

analyst, at ETX Capital.

0:12:260:12:30

Welcome to you. So how have they

managed to do it?

I think

0:12:300:12:36

Sainsbury's have enjoyed the uplift

from the trend that we saw in

0:12:360:12:39

December. We saw the figures showing

that Britons spent £1 billion over

0:12:390:12:46

Christmas. Whilst the like for like

sales growth was decent at 1.1% and

0:12:460:12:51

ahead of expectation it is lagging

competitors. We saw Morrisons at

0:12:510:12:56

2.8% and we have seen the German

discounters Aldi and Lidl, they saw

0:12:560:13:01

sales increase by 15%. 16% over

December, so whilst the top end

0:13:010:13:07

growth looks decent, there is still

the relative values maybe not there.

0:13:070:13:13

But food inflation presumably

playing into the figures in a

0:13:130:13:16

significant way as well.

That's

right. I think what we haven't seen

0:13:160:13:20

today is the details on margins and

we know in the first-half, the

0:13:200:13:25

margins at intoes collapsed from

2.5% to below 2% and I think that's

0:13:250:13:29

really something that needs to be

addressed. Clearly, there is a lot

0:13:290:13:33

of pressure with food inflation as

you say, and that does flatten the

0:13:330:13:37

top line sales. It is easy to

generate higher sales when the

0:13:370:13:40

prices are going up, but retail is

all about margins and if intoes

0:13:400:13:47

isn't improving its margins it is

not doing as well as the top line

0:13:470:13:50

figures suggest.

Neil, thank you

very much indeed for joining us.

0:13:500:13:53

Thank you.

0:13:530:14:03

Govia Thameslink franchise is not

providing value for money. The

0:14:030:14:08

largest rail franchise has not

provided value for money. Passengers

0:14:080:14:14

have suffered the worst rail

disruption in the UK according to

0:14:140:14:16

this highly critical report. It

found the services had been the

0:14:160:14:19

worst on the network since Govia

Thameslink took over the route. The

0:14:190:14:27

Department for Transport said the

disruption caused a shortage of

0:14:270:14:31

train crews and blamed not for

having adequate staffing. It had too

0:14:310:14:36

few drivers when it was awarded the

franchise in the first place.

0:14:360:14:45

You're watching Business Live.

0:14:450:14:48

Our top story:

0:14:480:14:49

The World Bank says it expects

the global economy to pick

0:14:490:14:52

up speed this year

and to operate at close

0:14:520:14:54

to full potential for

the first time in a decade.

0:14:540:14:58

For over a century, the Swarovski

name has been synonymous

0:14:580:15:01

with luxury crystals -

the Austrian firm supplied crystals

0:15:010:15:03

for Queen Victoria's dresses.

0:15:030:15:05

It was founded by Daniel

Swarovski in 1885.

0:15:050:15:11

His great, great grand

daughter Nadja Swarovski

0:15:110:15:12

made history in 2011,

by becoming the first woman to be

0:15:120:15:15

appointed to the executive board.

0:15:150:15:19

She oversees the brand

strategy of Swarovski's

0:15:190:15:24

$3.8bn global business,

working with the fashion industry

0:15:240:15:26

and designers to keep

crystals contemporary.

0:15:260:15:31

Nadja Swarovski joins us now.

0:15:310:15:35

I went to a gallery just before

Christmas and I saw some art using

0:15:350:15:40

the crystals, you are branching out.

It is a multifaceted product and I

0:15:400:15:45

was proud to see it used in such a

beautiful way. It can go into a

0:15:450:15:50

different direction but this is what

we are trying to do, to steer

0:15:500:15:54

designers into the right direction

in terms of the use of crystal.

Take

0:15:540:15:59

us back, in its heyday it was of

course used by the fashion houses of

0:15:590:16:02

the day and then it fell into

decline in terms of its usage there

0:16:020:16:06

and became really well-known for

crystal animals in the 70s. What

0:16:060:16:12

happened, how did that happen and

how did you resurrect it so

0:16:120:16:14

successfully?

They heyday was the

late 40s and 50s when we saw style

0:16:140:16:24

icons experimenting with fashion and

different materials within their

0:16:240:16:27

fashion and I have to say it was my

grandfather who work very closely

0:16:270:16:30

with them. I heard stories by him of

working with these people and

0:16:300:16:37

eventually when I found myself

joining the company you are right it

0:16:370:16:41

was all about the crystal animals

which was wonderful because I

0:16:410:16:45

appreciate how hard it is to make

those crystals but I felt the

0:16:450:16:48

heritage was not properly reflected.

So I think the decline happened

0:16:480:16:54

because perhaps there was the

inappropriate use of crystal and as

0:16:540:16:59

mentioned it's so important to

implement the crystal in the right

0:16:590:17:03

creative way to find the right

creative expression in order to be

0:17:030:17:06

beautiful.

How do you contain that

and control something like that

0:17:060:17:11

without actually restricting the

obvious growth you looking for?

You

0:17:110:17:16

try to lead with a good example and

the way we brought ourselves back to

0:17:160:17:20

the forefront of fashion was by once

again teaming up with people like

0:17:200:17:27

Alexander McQueen who brought us

back into the rightful position. You

0:17:270:17:31

use people like that to demonstrate

the creative merit of crystal and

0:17:310:17:35

hopefully the industry follows and

that was the case with Alexander

0:17:350:17:39

McQueen. Our challenge is to

continue to find innovative

0:17:390:17:42

designers that inspire the rest of

the industry, whether it's fashion,

0:17:420:17:48

jewellery, architecture or art.

You

have five quite the path in terms of

0:17:480:17:52

running the company, when you took

over you had challenges within the

0:17:520:17:55

company itself to drag it in the

direction he wanted to go.

It was a

0:17:550:18:01

challenge but if your last name is

the name of the company you

0:18:010:18:04

certainly feel a strong motivation

to position the product in its

0:18:040:18:09

rightful way. I have to say it's all

has been very inspirational to see

0:18:090:18:15

how the market responded, not just

creatively but also financially and

0:18:150:18:21

we see it very often when we have

standing initiatives that the

0:18:210:18:24

financial rewards follow. Therefore

it's important for us to demonstrate

0:18:240:18:30

a very good position creatively.

Tell us about your background, did

0:18:300:18:36

you go straight in?

Absently not, my

father was in charge for 44 years as

0:18:360:18:41

was my grandfather and every

conversation was the business so I

0:18:410:18:45

thought I don't want to work in the

business. It wasn't until I studied

0:18:450:18:49

art history and find my path in

fashion I actually knew about the

0:18:490:18:53

company and I realised what I could

contribute.

The founding principles

0:18:530:18:59

of your great, great, great

grandfather, presumably you have

0:18:590:19:03

followed those to keep the

continuity going.

Absolutely, I grew

0:19:030:19:08

up in an environment of hard-working

people passionate about what they

0:19:080:19:13

have created, my great, great

grandfather was the first to use

0:19:130:19:16

electricity to power his machines,

eventually moving to Austria were

0:19:160:19:20

used hydro electricity in 1895 which

was so cutting edge. That is what

0:19:200:19:25

made the company as big as it was.

This is the challenge today, how do

0:19:250:19:29

we keep up the innovation, what do

we do and how do we implement our

0:19:290:19:33

technology to create a product which

is totally irrelevant to the

0:19:330:19:36

consumer and in powers the consumer?

Tell us about that, you have created

0:19:360:19:42

this crystal mesh?

Yes, it was

another material, metal on top of

0:19:420:19:50

which we applied the crystals, so

it's like a fabric, it's very fluid,

0:19:500:19:54

you can use it in jewellery and

clothing.

I long does it take to

0:19:540:20:01

make?

It is a very tedious process

but in a nutshell, how long does it

0:20:010:20:08

crystal mesh? We melt the crystal,

we melt the glass in tonnes and then

0:20:080:20:13

it goes into smaller moulds and they

are cut, then eventually they are

0:20:130:20:18

sorted out by quality, so it's a

long process and very tedious and

0:20:180:20:25

intricate.

Really good to talk to

you, I actually wrapped up one of

0:20:250:20:29

your bracelets last night to give to

as a gift to somebody.

I really hope

0:20:290:20:36

that person feels empowered.

Thank

you for coming in.

0:20:360:20:41

Now, they may be out

of the reach of you and I -

0:20:410:20:44

but a report out today suggests

that the market for

0:20:440:20:47

superyachts is booming.

0:20:470:20:48

One particular winner in the global

race to attract billionaire dollars?

0:20:480:20:50

The British yachting industry.

0:20:500:20:51

For more, our business

correspondent Kim Gittleson

0:20:510:20:53

is at the London Boat Show.

0:20:530:20:58

I bet there are some beauties there.

It's quite astounding, I am

0:20:580:21:06

surrounded by some of the most

expensive boats and yachts on the

0:21:060:21:09

planet. Anything less than 24

metres, around 80 feet is just a

0:21:090:21:16

yacht, not a superyacht these days.

One of the biggest benefit trees has

0:21:160:21:20

been the British board and yacht

industry, report this morning

0:21:200:21:24

suggesting cells in the past year

have increased by 3.4% to £3.1

0:21:240:21:31

billion or around $4.2 billion. One

reason is the weaker pound as a

0:21:310:21:35

result of Brexit making a lot of the

boats here more to international

0:21:350:21:38

buyers. I will be here all day

looking at over 300 exhibitors to

0:21:380:21:46

try to figure out what you get if

you buy one of those yachts or

0:21:460:21:50

boats. Stay tuned for more.

Thank

you very much. I'm not sure what the

0:21:500:21:59

cheapest one is. I don't think it

would be in either of our price

0:21:590:22:02

ranges!

0:22:020:22:04

Nandini is back to

look at the papers.

0:22:040:22:07

We have got a story, I am tried to

get it on the website, it's about 5p

0:22:070:22:12

plastic bags at the moment it's only

big shops that do that but they

0:22:120:22:16

might extend it to corner shops and

smaller operations.

It's

0:22:160:22:21

interesting, the government says the

5p charge on bags has reduced usage

0:22:210:22:26

by 90%.

It's been huge. In such a

short beaded of time.

I think that

0:22:260:22:32

is the key, as an economist you'd

think by P is not as much as what

0:22:320:22:37

you are buying but it's the extra

cost which deters people from

0:22:370:22:41

wanting it, so I think the logic of

it applies to more stores, different

0:22:410:22:46

bags, there could be success is no

long term.

Is there any concern

0:22:460:22:51

about where all this money goes?

It

does not seem it's a huge part of

0:22:510:22:57

this story. I think the general

sense is it is to reduce waste and

0:22:570:23:00

be better for the environment and I

think broadly you could say most

0:23:000:23:04

people would be on board with that.

There is a huge backlash about all

0:23:040:23:09

this waste, we did a story about

copy cups the other day but I think

0:23:090:23:13

people are generally on board.

Everyone wants to do their part.

0:23:130:23:17

It's simple if you don't want to

play on a plastic bag take your own.

0:23:170:23:26

Or easy cloth bag. Or a trolley.

Toyota and Mazda picking Alabama for

0:23:260:23:38

a big investment, 1.6 billion.

They

are thinking about starting a new

0:23:380:23:43

venture in the US state of Alabama,

it would produce 200,000 vehicles

0:23:430:23:48

per year which is huge. Definitely a

big thing for a country like the US,

0:23:480:23:53

we think about with the UK and

Europe as well, not known for

0:23:530:23:58

manufacturing, it's a dying or a

weekend part of the economic space.

0:23:580:24:02

Where does this play into Donald

Trump's views about Japanese cars

0:24:020:24:07

and tariffs?

I think the fact it's

been made in America and

0:24:070:24:14

manufactured in America and will

employ 4000 people in a state which

0:24:140:24:18

is not always at the top of economic

output lists could be very good for

0:24:180:24:23

the campaign promises as well as

just bringing up different parts of

0:24:230:24:26

the US economy to catch up with

other parts.

Bad news for North

0:24:260:24:33

Carolina, interesting in terms of

what the states could offer in terms

0:24:330:24:37

of supply chains.

Yes a lot of

competition in American states but

0:24:370:24:42

on the whole it looks like it would

be good for the US and certainly

0:24:420:24:46

symbolises the sense of

manufacturing and global trade

0:24:460:24:48

happening more and more.

Do you

think big companies do want to play

0:24:480:24:54

ball with Donald Trump, they are

listening to what he said?

Yes,

0:24:540:24:59

political or maybe social use a site

he is the leader of one of the

0:24:590:25:03

largest economies in the world which

has a lot of manufacturing power. As

0:25:030:25:11

well as global presence. People care

about what America does and makes.

I

0:25:110:25:16

was wondering if this would change

any domicile line of companies

0:25:160:25:20

bearing in mind the tax reforms

which have gone through.

That

0:25:200:25:24

something we are looking at, which

could boost a lot of American

0:25:240:25:27

companies and has been one of the

reasons we like American equities,

0:25:270:25:32

it's a complicated tax loss we have

to see how it affects various

0:25:320:25:36

companies, if they are domiciled in

America are not, it should be an

0:25:360:25:43

interesting year for companies.

And

the best option is to be stateless

0:25:430:25:48

and not pay anything anywhere! Good

to see you, thank you. Goodbye for

0:25:480:25:53

now.
