the news continues here on our jazeera after counting the cost. we understand the differences the similarities of cultures across the world. algis the international bring in the news and current trends that matter. out as iraq. hello i'm come on santa maria this is counting the cost on al-jazeera in your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week oil shock not only an attack on the heart of saudi arabia's oil facilities but on global supply the billions spent on air defenses proved to be useless against suspected drones and cruise missiles with an impact what happens next and if the markets are ready. i'm

really mohamed on the island of borneo where indonesia's new capital is just to be built we'll tell you why people here are so concerned. and why the almighty dollar is the talk of economic and political life in argentina as the country teeters on the brink of another debt default. it was by any measure and or day shifts attack on the worst attack on middle east oil facilities since saddam hussein set fire to kuwait's oil wells back in 1990 drones or maybe cruise missiles traveling 500 kilometers across saudi territory undetected to strike at the heart of its oil industry and to knock out 5 percent of the world's oil supply as a result of oil prices spiked almost 20 percent now they're still below the recent highs that was $86.00 a barrel last october when tensions between the united states and iran were

ratcheting up but just why oil prices remain below those highs has something to do with where our global economy is right now plus the huge reserves the world has accumulated. now according to the u.s. energy information administration the world has 4100000000 barrels of oil in storage 1400000000 held by governments the rest by oil companies and training houses the united states has the capacity to hold 722000000 barrels and china has a store of almost 500000000 barrels. so with all that supply and the global economy slowing opec nations have been struggling of late to lift oil prices despite help from russia and other non opec nations now saudi arabia believes it can have the facility up and running in a matter of weeks but if it takes a more than 6 weeks to fix the plants and to restore production levels well prices going to head towards that $85.00 a barrel mark so this is

a real test for aramco remember it's already opening up its finances to the world as crown prince mohammed bin salmon attempts to float the company with an ambitious valuation of 2 trillion dollars but this attack which is claimed by the who tease who the saudis have been at war with in yemen for the last few years it just raises so many questions about the kingdom's ability to protect its own facilities not to mention the billions it's paid for u.s. defense systems in fact russia took the opportunity to offer the saudis its s $400.00 missile defense system. let's get some answers now joining us is james fim or jr he is the c.e.o. of the u.s. based washington institute for business government and society a sketchy title. and earlier in your career you were the u.s. assistant secretary of commerce for trade development and that's ok so we can get on to some of that later but you try to add on but i think right now let's talk about the situation with saudi arabia and the oil attacks and the and the would

have uses the audacity of it the fact that the the linchpin of saudi infrastructure the oil installations the thing which matters the most could get hit like this massively concerning surely it is a day she was. it's quite amazing that it was choreographed in such a way to have spokesman from yemen standing up and saying that they were the ones responsible for it when it now appears from all intelligence that it was a rainy and not only directed but came from arabian soil and so the notion for example that billions of dollars have been spent on the defense of saudi arabia to avoid this sort of thing happening certainly has been concerning i think on everybody's part and what happens next is anybody's guess well what we saw or initially was obviously a big spike in the oil price which settled down again then said no we think we can bring this under control what does it tell you about oil prices volatility we still

sitting in this sort of 6070 range is there a risk of it heading up above 8090 i don't think so quite honestly as you and i are talking here the price of oil is around $59.00 a barrel and fortunately saudi arabia was able to calm the markets very quickly after they even had an internal changes to the energy minister to really assure the markets that they would be back on line very shortly and so i think things will be be fine but clearly there's a need to. to watch out for any future incidents that could create chaos so washington and riyadh obviously a big allies the saudis have bought plenty of arms from the us defense systems as well defense systems which you might call into question right now and in fact russia's president vladimir putin sort of perfect opportunity and said hey you want to buy our is 400 missile defense system because clearly the one you've got isn't working it creates these other sort of battles within battles well president putin

has been is and will continue to be a master chess player. ok. all right let's put your trite hat on if you don't mind and talk about some of that because we can't ignore what's happening between china and the united states as far as the trade war the tariffs war however you want to term it would you see that going now now that both sides sort of pulled back just a little bit for different reasons donald trump started talking about christmas and then because the national communist congress was going to happen oh we'll pull back where where is the so-called trade war right now where you know it's interesting it's an interesting perspective for me because i was host to one of the very 1st chinese delegations trade delegations that ever came to washington d.c. it was so long ago that everyone who came in from from china headed up by the mere shanghai was wearing a mild state tome suit. and in those days the the trading relationship was

$4000000000.00 exports and 4 dollars 4000000000 dollars imports in the united states had a surplus of about $6000000.00 as of this year at the end of june which would be 6 months from 2019 that has changed dramatically and we. have sent about $52000000000.00 worth of goods to china they've sent us $220000000000.00 so the trade equation is rather dramatic i think that there is a genuine concern on the part of course of washington of trying to anticipate the 2020 election and what that's going to mean to the american consumer and so i think it's fair to say that there may be a little bit of a parting of the ball in terms of how to be able to deal with this there is no question and president trump has made this abundantly clear that china has proceeded along a path that has been to the disadvantage of the united states and that this has

been building over a long period of time and then what he is doing is simply trying to set things straight. from what they should have been a long time ago so that is very much the motivating force for him what this thing is the word war would suggest traditionally that someone would win or lose that's routes anyone winning here and not and let's remove it from from just the united states and china as well that they are is a global slowdown appearing as well and this is surely a big part of that there's no question but you know interestingly of course the united states has been enjoying its 9th year of progressive growth consumer demand is strong there are points of weakening in the economy but they are minor in comparison with what's going on in other parts of the globe but the united states cannot be by itself in the way says in the midst of the desert when it comes to trade and the world economy but but there is no question that the president trump feels confident enough in the strength at the moment of the u.s.

economy one of the reasons why he keeps pushing on the interest rate to business to really put his foot down and to try to be able to make some kind of a difference so we'll see what happens well seeing as you mention interest rates the fed finally casting rights. as per the pressure from the press we keep mentioning donald trump to the kind of on a boy don't think but he's been he's been almost you know hassling the fed in saying you know you haven't got the best interests of the country's best interest at heart you're not really working for the country i mean is this is this a pressure cost or is it actually what is needed well interestingly enough there's been no president since the federal reserve was was founded back in the 1920 s. that. the president has exerted so much even pressure on the institution. there's no question that that has got to count for something and the the chair of the federal reserve who present trump appointed to the position has been as they say between a rock and a hard place and the concern is not just the u.s.

economy but economies around the world who really are dependent. what those interest rates look like and so you know if we have a bad situation in the global economy outside of the united states it's going to end up on our shores day at some point but it took a long time to be able to bring interest rates to where they are now we faced of course the financial crisis in 2008 and so bringing those interest rates back to a semblance of reality took some real hard engineering on the part of federal reserve now we're in a position where we're going to start cutting concern obviously is that if we do reach a point that we are going to be experiencing a recession what tools will be left to be able to combat that recession and so that's a big question on people's minds but there's also economists who believe that this is the time to do to take down interest rates because when you finally realize that you have you're in a recession it will have been accumulating over

a period of months before it actually hits and so you've got to have a bit of a crystal ball in trying to determine where the economy's going to be but make no mistake that the trade situation between china and the united states is having a direct impact on the federal reserve's decision making powers as to whether they do reduce the interest rate because if we do get into a trade war that is going to have such an impact on the economy that only federal. interest rates and adjusting them is going to be one of the simple but very important tools to be able to contain the economic downfall james no it's been a pleasure talking to thank you for joining thank you very much. let's move to some other stories and as rising sea levels threaten indonesia's capital president joker we doto is planning to relocate that capital to the un and of borneo his decision is also about spreading the wealth of the nation more evenly

across the $13000.00 that make up the archipelago right now jakarta and the island of java are accounts of 58 percent of the country's economy but as mohammed now reports there are concerns that a move to borneo would adversely impact the very people who live there this largely untouched part of east montoya on will become the new capital of indonesia if the president has his way. it's in stark contrast to the capital jakarta clogged with heavy traffic smog and sinking the pressure to move is rising along with sea levels which may mean the city of more than 10000000 people could be under water within the next 30 years and this is where the city's relocation may end up borneo island known for its lush rain forest and rare wildlife. while it was chosen for being less prone to earthquakes and floods there are concerns the.
