1:17 am
in asia. what happens next? do you wait on this meeting of ecb and let europe lead the way? what do investors do? >> yeah. indeed, i think at the moment as we say, we did see the direction exactly like the last week, itself because the yen gained a little bit, gold gained a little bit. all of the markets in the red territory but not heavy, heavy selling so now we are waiting to see europe opening up see what the politicians have to say because, again, we are waiting for what greeks will do with the next payment as due, you know, middle of july, and looking for clue on the front, itself although there is quiet resignation of a possibility of greek exit is over the horizon as well. it's essentially still very much about looking for safe haven that we are looking investors doing at this point. >> let me get a final thought from you. what about the wider picture? all of this uncertainty is bound to be a drag on consumer and
1:18 am
business confidence. what's going to be the impact of that on global growth? >> well, we have seen already unfold, the unfolding drama this year on global growth. we have seen in imf, world bank paring down growth. still over hanging global economy of what exactly the impact of greece could do to the global economy, investors and business confidence has been basically shaken but when you are seeing the uncertain confidence, you see certainly a pullback in business consumption, investment, which, in turns, means the global growth environment continue to be drug down by the uncertainties, itself. growth continues to be pulled down by this unfolding drama. >> thank you for talking to al jazeera. >> my pleasure >> two blasts have hit the central nigerian city of jos.
