already seen the economy under pressure on both sides and businesses can't invest on that basis on that uncertainty. a deal need to be done and itjust seems there is quite a lot of reluctance for that to get through and it is quite frustrating to see. it is indeed very festering or whether it be three months or a technical delay arejust a few be three months or a technical delay are just a few days, what will this mean for the british pound? the pound at the moment is reflecting the risk. if they have an extension of three months you will see the pound sits —— stay where it is in hopes someday we'll get better. but if it is three days then there will bea if it is three days then there will be a huge amount of volatilityjust based on the last three days. this is the first time a brexit bill has been supported by parliament. this is in been supported by parliament. this isina been supported by parliament. this is in a way good news was up we didn't see much movement in the plan although it is at 1.2 nine, 90 big

continue his infrastructure build a campaign which he has been on for the last five years. he is key to that because they control the finance ministers —— as the finance minister. and they have 40% of its bonds overseas... she is a darling of the bond... she will probably keep her in public works ministry. so for him his legacy is going to be "i built the infrastructure that indonesia needed over my ten years, my two terms, and i need those two quys my two terms, and i need those two guys to do it." he is making an innovative cabinet but working to see his differences of opinion between the different factions? indonesian politics is transactional. you have a number of parties in this cabinet, kind of unprecedented that you bring all your opposition to cabinet when you don't need to. you only have one party and opposition formally which means that everybody‘s going to have their own vested interest which is

true in indonesia and you and this isa true in indonesia and you and this is a real challenge for a manager or the president of some else because a lot of those are the traditional nationalist vested interests in the indonesian economy. other business news making headlines, boeing has replaced the top executive of its commercial division kevin mcallister. it marks the first high—level the purchases to fatal crashes of its 737 max was of the world la rgest‘s plane crashes of its 737 max was of the world largest‘s plane is facing a demand its previous best—selling jet printer by crashes in indonesia and ethiopia that killed 346 people. stirling office space provider has accepted a generous plan for a controversial co—founder adam newman. the japanese firm softbank will have more of its shares was on the move follows a clams after their attempt to raise money in the stock
