because, as we have been watching, the city has been the scene of fresh clashes between demonstrators and police over the weekend. hong kong has now been gripped by practice against the beijing backed government for overfour against the beijing backed government for over four months. they have been led by young people fighting the extradition bill and universal suffrage. we go behind the growing resentment as economic inequality rises to its highest levels in 45 years. in a city of bright lights and big dreams, prospects for young hong kong people are dim. these are students yet to face the real world but, behind the cover drudgery and carefully smiles, lies anxiety about the future. cover drudgery and carefully smiles, lies anxiety about the futurelj wa nt to lies anxiety about the futurelj want to change my family's life for them because they have two wildcard

to pay for food them because they have two wildcard to pay forfood prices. when i grow up to pay forfood prices. when i grow upi to pay forfood prices. when i grow up i cannot do that. even when i graduate from university i will leave with my family. i spent lots of money to buy a small flat and it limited the imagination of my life. these have field resentment of a system they feel has ignored them. our economy is dominated by a handful of powerful families. they are reluctant to give ways in high—tech industry even though some young people want to get into the high—tech industry but, basically, there are not a lot of good chances for them. bleakjob prospects makes buying a home out of reach. consider

this statistic, more than half of hong kong's households not on enough to own their home. they would have to own their home. they would have to save the entire salary for 18 yea rs to save the entire salary for 18 years just to be able to do that. government subsidised housing were meant to be the solution but there are not enough of them. there is more than enough land in hong kong but developers see little incentive to build public housing. if they develop into residential housing on a private basis, they fetch ten times as much. i must say, in the last 10—15 years the government has not been brave enough to make sure to make sure we will meet supply in the medium term. hong kong was a city built for business but while business thrived, others were left out. the government now recognises it needs to fix things but it may be too little, too late. staying with

hong kong, another protest is set for tuesday is communist china celebrates its 70th anniversary. the rest has continued for 17 straight weeks hitting the global financial hub. i asked why and what are the biggest concerns faced by multinational companies? when we work with our clients across the asia pacific, we guide them to have an understanding of the entire region and notjust hong kong, understanding that is quite important and what they are worried about is that this is a period of prolonged crisis and leading with resilience and through the anxiety is something topmost in leaders mines. have they discussed or suggested plans of moving away from

hong kong? right now, most of the leaders respect to seem to be adopting a wait and watch approach. a lot of business continuing to plan ata a lot of business continuing to plan at a safety level but some of the best leaders are ensuring they are creating enough support systems, keeping the dialogue open for employees, talking through what is happening and what it means for their lives, families and careers. the chief executive of cathay pacific, a very well—known hong kong brand, he resigned after a storm of criticism from china because of his employers participation in some of the protests. is it a sign of x had leader out of touch with china? —— x patriot. they need to keep the environment radius. the station

switched on. and that is what i mean by understanding the culture of the greater china region and leaders that are able to do that and being good bridges between hong kong and china otherwise it does have a stake on the business and leaders. some advice you could give some of these leaders if these protests do not let 7 leaders if these protests do not let up? there are three things we talk about leading through a prolonged crisis. keep your radar switched on and understand your people and broader culture. secondly, building organisational resilience, creating systems to help employees adapt. the third is around creating community care. it could be lonely at the top especially very anxious. ensuring they are reaching out to other leaders. onto the market as they are

about to enter the fourth and final quarter of the year with a whole load of uncertainty hanging over them. brexit, the ongoing trade war between the us and china, and impeachment proceedings against donald trump. how might the markets be impacted? it is going to be an extremely busy quarter, particularly october and, i think, extremely busy quarter, particularly octoberand, ithink, you extremely busy quarter, particularly october and, ithink, you have highlighted all of these political concerns. they are increasingly becoming economic concerns and affecting the real economy so i think it is going tojust affecting the real economy so i think it is going to just add to this wave of uncertainty with brexit, particularly around whether a no—deal brexit will be going ahead 01’ a no—deal brexit will be going ahead or not. uncertainty if it goes or does not go ahead, what sort of brexit will it look like but i think

it is the trade attentions which is going to be the biggest risk for the economy. “— going to be the biggest risk for the economy. —— tensions. it has affected trade volumes, business investment and the risk is that flows onto employment and consumer spending. they will be watching closely to see whether some sort of deal can be gobbled up between the us and china. and the hope is that... lets talk about the impeachment proceedings against donald trump. we saw the markets move as a result of that. what impact is that likely to have? there has been some impact on markets in that it has affected because any sort of political risk will translate into uncertainty for financial markets but, at this point, that has not been a huge

impactand point, that has not been a huge impact and that is likely because, even though there is some uncertainty, it is not expected to have a significant economic impact on earnings and businesses. it is not affecting business is the same way as the trade tensions. not a significant impact on markets but still that element of uncertainty for them. in other news: the world trade organisation is set to rule on aus trade organisation is set to rule on a us request to impose tariffs on billions of dollars of european goods potentially sparking a new trade war. arbitrators are scheduled to meet at 10am local time in geneva to meet at 10am local time in geneva to finalise the 15—year—old case brought by washington. the us is seeking compensation for what it says are illegal subsidies to the plane maker airbus. and looking at the few things we were watching this week because later this morning we
