live from bloomberg's european headquarters. i am guy johnson. >> i am francine lacqua. i have missed you, guy. coming up, more money, more problems. you would think a private jet would make it easy to get around . we look at an issue that even billionaires can't avoid. >> it is going to be hard. we have a big interview this morning. coming up later today. deutsche bank's co-ceo anshu jain is going to speak to bloomberg before anyone else. we will bring you that conversation in just a couple of hours. >> the banks surprised investors last week with an unexpected loss and an early earnings report today. executives are meeting in frankfurt to discuss the results. they are just setting up now. hans nichols is speaking to the co-ceo first today. i am excited about the interview. >> certainly. they are taking pictures as we speak. we will go to that press conference and as this evolves,

jain at the center of the picture, we will bring you their comments on that institution. >> let's start with turkey. the central bank hiked rates in an emergency late-night meeting. that has the lira jumping against the dollar. >> let's get jonathan ferro's take on all that we have learned. it was a big move. we were expecting something. really size of the move taking everybody by surprise. >> look. if you call an emergency meeting , you are expecting the central bank to produce the goods. they went much harder than anyone anticipated. big hikes on several rates. if you are looking at the lira, we saw a record lows for the turkish currency and then bang, the surprise. the highest level since 2008. the question now is, does this stop the rot? selling dollars didn't work. you are seeing the turkish lira come off the day's high. that is the dollar strengthening, the lira weakening again.

if you look at this on a one-year chart, not much more than a blip. the central bank regain any credibility with this move? it is becoming or it has come under a lot of pressure. >> it was under a lot of pressure not to hike rates. there is a real political undercurrent. whether the government approved doganove or not, er knows that a political crisis can kill careers. his career was born about one. the question now is, even if it does stop the rot, even if the lira doesn't decline any further, does the choke off the economy? what happens then? what is interesting to me is that you are also seeing the south african rand strengthen as well. we have seen brazil, india, turkey move. what happens next? >> thanks so much. >> talking of the south african federal bank, will they raise rates?

there is a key meeting taking place later today. that the south africans will keep rates on hold. no rate hike expected by the economists that we have told. -- polled. going to remain on hold. there have been surprises in emerging markets over the last 48 hours. india, then turkey. will south africa follow suit? oil giants had little to show for their spending. major players began issuing profit warnings this month. let's bring in our bloomberg energy reporter, brian spen -- brian swint. selling stakes is one way of dealing with this. >> shell announced this morning they were selling a stake in an offshore field in brazil. shell calculates their investment by subtracting out and he divestments they make and this helps get their numbers down. that net investment number was a wreck last year.

-- a record last year. >> if i am a shell investor, i am bombarded at the moment. is there a communication strategy problem here? profit warnings after issuing numbers shortly before -- we are getting news on a fairly regular basis. they are not wanting it together which is the normal strategy. >> they are doing earnings tomorrow morning. it will be the first time we see the new ceo. hopefully he can clear the slate there and take care of everyone's questions. it is very unusual for them to do profit warnings like this. investors have to ask themselves, what should change so much/ --so much? >> what else are we expecting them to divest from? have monday of things. they tend not to tell us about them in advance. they're looking at the pipeline in the u.s.

they have divested a part of the wheatstone project. they have this stake in a field in brazil. anything that they think will be particularly profitable in years to come, they will look at getting rid of. it could be a theme for big oil companies if they want to concentrate on their most profitable things. they will look at older fields, things that won't be as profitable as potential sales targets. >> brian, thank you so much. we are just adding some breaking news out of sainsbury. we have a new ceo at the helm. just thinking is steing down. shares are down at that. they have named mike gupta -- mikecoupe. he is becoming ceo. pe, the commercial director of sainsbury will become ceo as of july 9. the share price down some 3%. growinglation has been

that he will be stepping down fairly shortly. that's speculation constantly denied by the business. nevertheless, we now have confirmation that he is going to step down. that 3% drop, i wouldn't read too much into that. >> we will get to the bottom of how you pronounce his name. madedent barack obama tackling inequality the centerpiece of his state of the union address last night. he says it is unacceptable for the rich to get richer and other americans struggle to survive. today after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, those at the top have never done better. average wages have barely budged. inequality has deepened. upward mobility has stalled. fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many americans are working more than ever just to get by, let

alone to get ahead. too many still aren't woing at all. for more on president obama's state of the union address, we bring in manus cranny. >> i think when you listen to this state of the union, this is isresident who really rerunning some of the arguments he used when he was running against mitt romney in 2012. the potent theme of inequality. i think the tone was fairly defiant. raising the minimum wage up to $10.10 for some federal workers, not obviously across the board. who is a president reaching out in terms of partisanship, which is a new word on capitol hill. ironic. in regards to global trade, that is the mandate he really wanted to try to get a hold of. i think those lines about and equality are the deep-seated heart of what the democrats are

about, going back to basics. a very defiant obama. no doubt about it. that is certainly the take by most of capitol hill. , thet's move on to the fed first policy decision of 2014. it is the last time ben bernanke will chair. we have new voters as well. more hawks. >> this is going to be an interesting challenge for janet yellen when she goes to sit with these guys and gals. bernanke had to deal with them. that's have a look at some of the protagonists. richard fisher. let's have a look at some of the new faces running on board. there you go. kocherlakota,, plosser all dissented in 2011. will they kick back in 2014? richard fisher is not that

bothered by what happens in regards to equity markets. as long as he has got blood in his veins, he is not going to find. er, he says ploss look through the noise in the december report. he is more of an advocate of moving aggressively on pulling back stimulus. kota perhaps a little more open to suggestions. those are the names i think will cause a bit of trouble. >> we will leave it there. thank you very much indeed. what else is on our radar? >> investors are punishing mulberry. shares are at a three-year low as they luxury goods company issues a profit warning. it says full-year earnings will be substantially below current estimates. >> lufthansa is canceling dozens of european flights. an air traffic control strike taking place across the region. those most affected are italy, france and switzerland. >> breaking news from the last few minutes.

sainsbury has named mike coupe as ceo. he is the group's commercial director. the current ceo is stepping down after a decade in charge where he has managed to turn around retailers. >> the stock initially dipped on that comeback since the news was announced that king is stepping down. still to come, barack obama vows to sidestep congress if needed to narrow economic disparity. we will be looking in detail at the president's annual state of the union address. eric nelson, the chief level economist at union credit. >> let's look at today's pulse number. about the number of words in obama's speech this morning. the most invoked word, america and variations like american. other words, people, jobs. that is as the nation grapples with unemployment at 6.8%. ♪

>> good morning, everybody. welcome back. you're watching "the pulse" live from bloomberg european headquarters. news from sainsbury over the last hour. after 10 years at the helm, justin king is going to step down as ceo in the summer. he will be replaced by mike coupe who is currently the commercial director. we have had that confirmed. >> he is taking over july 9. i find it quite important.

he is a commercial director. this is about retailers. in the u.k. market, they have to find about what the commercial director can do since he has been successful so far. >> it has been quite a ride as you can see judging by the share price. he has completely repositioned this business. share prices are in the mid-300s now. they got as high as 600. remember what happened with qataris and the takeover that surrounded this business a few years back. company did well off the back of that with the share price lower. let's bring in caroline hyde to give us more detail on what we need to know. has been with sainsbury's has 2004, almost as long as justin king. there will be a seamless transition, it seems. justin king staying on until july to ensure that the handover goes smoothly.

it has been since december that oupe has been at the leaderboard in terms of who would be the successor. he had been picked back in september -- december. bloomberg put out a story saying he was likely to take over. he is one year older than just thinking and has been front and center of the growth at things very. he is the commercial director overseeing marketing, information technology, online operations as well. he has been the right hand man helping steer sainsbury's. we know that sainsbury's was basically the outperform her of this christmas. they seemed to be stealing market share from tesco. of course, the discounters on end offering cheaper products. sainsbury's has been able to

offer a different range. also, the basic range when we want to ensure that we keep our payments low when it comes to retail. overall, justin king has stepped down in july. commercial director mike coupe to take up the reins. justin king saying this is an nad decision. he felt that it is never the right time to leave sainsbury's. shares are down today because of justin king meeting. many analysts saying this is always going to be a negative. he has been there since 2004. eight years. he knows the business inside out , in charge of online and trading. ugh thes as tho transition is likely to be smooth. >> thank you very much. i an always interested. it is never a right time to leave.

>> i guess you should always quit when you are ahead. >> that is a good point. >> president obama is urging lawmakers to do more to help america's jobless. his state of the union address focused on economic inequality. he said boosting the minimum wage to $10.10 from the current $7.25 will make a massive difference. is it good economic policy? >> let's ask eric nielsen. is it good economic policy? i guess if he gets reelected and have the right policy in place, it makes sense. >> he won't be reelected here. he is not running for anything anymore. he has a point. if you have been in america, seven dollars an hour is nothing. if you have a family and put your kids to school for seven dollars an hour, even if you are two parents working it is tough. he has a fundamental point. poverty is huge in america.

the income distribution is huge. somebody has got to do something about it. is this going to change the world? absolutely not. it is a small step in the right direction. grappling withof two big issues. one is the impact of the fed and the monetary implications on the rest of the world. the other is the inequality. the venn diagram between these two issues seems to have quite significant overlap. when you look at how policy is going to evolve and you look at the inequality issue, how much crossover is there in your mind? >> it is a big issue. is part of thert normalization process. we can't keep on putting money in. you have to go back to a state ofre the end of the 30 years interest rates -- we are in a transition there. the other side of it is the globalization story. whole issue that

obama is talking about and the theme distribution, it is result of the fact that the americans and europeans have not adjusted properly to globalization. globalization is bringing chinese cheap labor into the world labor market. those who are less fortunate in our societies with less education have been squeezed out. politicalcoming a issue. in america you have the tea party. in europe, you have other people who are becoming more nationalist and last -- >> is that the case? then what you should do is take the focus off foreign policy and drive the dollar down. the fed policies going to do the exact opposite. >> if you could do it through the exchange rate, yes. i don't know if you can drive the dollar down. -- onense, think about

of the big issues between america and china has been the exchange rate. you can't really -- the only way you can really do it is threaten them with trade restrictions. they don't wipe like that. you have a real problem. the exchange rate market is affected but not really affected. we talked about it before. to have china with the trade rate linked it is crazy. it is like denmark. s, income and equality was talked about. the american disparaging. they said the ceos and businesses are not taking notice. in europe i think it is different because there is different of civil -- social uncohesion. should we talk more about and equality in europe? this can really topple governments may be more than the u.s. >> the reason is that in europe,

we go on the streets. is -- it isit important in both places. ultimately we should do the right policies for the right reasons. it seems reason enough to share the growth. at least people keep -- at least give people the opportunity. the fiscal cuts have been an investment in education. these types of things that ultimately give everybody a fair chance at doing well. >> thank you so much. erik nielsen stays with us. >> still to come, what in the name? we're going to take a look at past hits and misses when it comes to corporate rebranding. ♪

"> welcome back to "the pulse live on bloomberg television and radio. >> how are the markets trading? big moves over the last few minutes. manus cranny at the touchscreen with more. >> equity markets have got a spirited lift this morning. it is called, look after yourself. how long does it last when you are a central bank that the market knows doesn't have enough reserves?

you go for something radical like raising your rates. this is the euro against the turkish lira. we saw them raise the rates. the euro went down. the turkish lira bounced. this is euro going down, turkish lira bouncing. look at this. in the space of one trading session, almost a complete u. we are almost back at the level where we were when the news came through. what is that? you have eric nielsen there. maybe he has a better answer. one, they don't have the reserves. up the richest rates by five percent. is that really a robust policy? india raises rates by a quarter of one percent. turkey goes for five percent. of bank fory cent themselves. defend yourself and let's worry about the fed later. back to you. >> we have the central bank

kong's cable tv is reporting that a man has died after being infected with bird flu. the government has issued a statement that the hong kong bird flu case was imported from china. more thanhas culled 20,000 birds. >> breaking news on sainsbury. it has named mike coupe as ceo. he is the group that commercial director. karen ceo justin king is stepping down after a decade in charge. >> caroline hyde has more. 10 years in charge. transformed the business now he is stepping aside. >> he said it was a difficult decision, never the right time to go. he helped build sainsbury's, helped it become a winner in the christmas trading period. sainsbury's, really the only store, the biggest grocers that saw sales increase. improving market share helping in terms of their range. for the higher-end and also the

basic, just stopping the outpouring to the rivals which offer the more luxury goods and the discounters. he is handing over the reins to a man who shouldn't come as a surprise. 2012 was when we were talking about mike coupe becoming the potential leader of sainsbury's. he was the person who was front runner to take over as chief executive. he is a 53-year-old man, he has been at sainsbury's since 2004. almost as long as justin king himself. he knows his rivals. he works for many arrival. he worked at tesco. well-known names on the u.k. high street. he knows also what it takes to win. he has been in charge of trading, the ip, -- the i.t., the online presence. this is a company he knows inside out. he is also tied to its success. he is paid 1.6 million pounds in

2013 and he owns some 800,000 shares. it is worth his while to keep the growth of that company. >> let's hope that transition is smooth. caroline, thank you. had aney's central bank emergency central bank meeting that had the lira jumping. in the last few minutes, the situation has changed. let's get eric nielsen's take. he is the chief level economist at unicredit. that is a brutal move. first of all, the lira strengthening. since then, we have seen a completely reverse. what is going on? >> first of all i think the central bank has to be congratulated on stepping in. they have been behind the curve and people in the markets yesterday talked about maybe 200 basis points. this is about double that.

they said, we have to step ahead of the curve. the early reaction was positive. then i thought the people started to think about what it means. what will it do to growth? the answer is, probably flat growth now. we are looking at possibly recession in turkey. we had a forecast of only 2% as credit came down. now it comes down brutally. the worst-case scenario that is starting to play out for me is, you have to close your current account almost overnight. you go from eight percent to 10% deficit to almost zero. it is massive. the problem here is that the world has changed. you have to bring being talked about. -- tapering being talked about. you have the issue of the political stock. they have a current account which means they have to import 3.5 billion today. it is not a matter of outflow. what you're seeing now is the

buying of dollars, that is the danger. it is not enough to stop the outflow. continuing to of attract capital and they can't do it in this environment. that is why i feel if there is no finance, you have to do what spain or ireland bid. that is nasty. >> central banks here also have a credibility problem. >> that is exactly right. was it cleared with the prime minister? either way, it is good that they react. only the central bank, it is also the government. you have a prime minister talking about interest-rate lobbyist. it is not a-- market friendly thing to say to people who you want to borrow money from. compared to 2011 where you have a move and then a stabilization, i think this is quite different.

>> imf? >> before the election. be a can sense would to spain. spain took two years to eliminate this current account ecbcit with the help of coming in. there is no ecb for the turks. there is the imf. the imf is going to come in and talk about restricting credit growth. that is not going to be nice. i think there is a long way down to that but it could. >> what are you expecting from other emerging market central banks? will south africa have to fight back? >> everybody has. one with the big financing needs. there is a lot of -- you can buy a lot of interesting stock. you can buy greece, romania,

poland, a lot of things. e.m. perctiveness of se is not what it used to be. people are looking around and saying, and i the first one to catch this falling knife? the answer, generally, is no. why would i take this opportunity or chance. unfortunately, those emerging markets which have the big imbalances live beyond their means for many years. they could be hitting the wall. end to these days would be very painful. >> thank you so much for all of that. ok, result a little bit later today. completing the acquisition of chrysler. investors await sergio marchionne's plans. >> ryan chilcote joins us with more. leaving earnings aside, tell us about marchionne's game plan.

>> he spent the last five years trying to build fiat from a regional carmaker into a global carmaker. you can expect the gains and the structure of the new company to be very multinational. there is five parts to this. shares, almost certainly listed in new york. quite likely the new york stock exchange with a secondary listing in milan. where will the tax headquarters be? the expectation is the united kingdom with a legal headquarters in the netherlands. that is the blueprint that mr. marchionne employed when he spun off the tractor maker that fiat owned back in 2011. now it gets more automotive. where will the headquarters they? sergio marchionne himself said he thinks the united states has a large claim to the corporate headquarters. that is where the company makes 4/5 of its profits and gets 54% of its revenue. quite a change from back in the day.

a decade ago it got 92% of its profit -- its revenue i should say in italy. the big question is, what is the company going to be called? thoughts on that? >> we already know from marchionne and his management team that both fiat and chrysler are going to be in the name. i guess it is just down to, who comes first? there is a joke right now -- we look at these slightly forensically. what does fiat mean? francine, i know you know that. the joke is that now it is going to be fat, not fiat. this is an issue that undoubtedly came up when the prime minister met with marchionne yesterday. it is a big deal. fiat is the biggest industrial company in italy. in a way, they feel like they are losing it. >> they wouldn't appreciate

that. it is not the only company to change their name. we have had this before. some successes and some disasters. >> it is not always a huge affair. if you think about eads, the change themselves into airbus. probably realized that no one associated them by name with aircraft. that was an interesting fixed of that problem. there are some less likely ones. google used to be called back rub. who would have thought? this is entirely not a new development. would you get a hyphenated name, people don't usually include the hen so my money is on chrysler-fiat and people just color chrysler. >> that was definitely a smart move on google's part. >> do you want a back rub? [laughter] ryan chilcote with the latest on fiat and what is in a name? >> up next, a shakeup of sainsbury's. the supermarket has named the

e coupe ass -- mikr v its ceo. we have more on that news when we come back. >> also, a bloomberg first. don't miss our interview with deutsche bank co-ceo anshu jain. ♪

he has been part of the response team. he is on all the calls come at the analyst meetings. he is part of the team, not an unknown coming from completely left-field. we know he is part of the team. it is a signal for continuity, i think. >> this is very important when we see a lot of other rivals choosing external candidates. >> there is always this sort of external-internal debate. we have seen it at morrison's. they have had a succession of external people. there is a question of whether people know what morrison's stands for. in sainsbury's, he is integral to what they stand for. we can expect continuity. -- thereave to think are strategic decisions to be made. who else will they add to the board to give that external view? >> charles allen, thank you so

much for that. guy. >> thank you very much indeed, francine. we have a big interview to bring you later. deutsche bank co-ceo anshu jain will be speaking to bloomberg first today. we bring you that conversation around 12:30 london time. announcedank remember earnings early with a surpse fourth-quarter loss. it has released more details this morning. there is a press conference underway. a 23% cut in investment bank pay is one of the headlines. let's talk about all of this. good morning. thank you very much indeed for taking the time to come see us. jane and finch and have a difficult communication strategy they need to get across to investors. they are saying they are not happy. investors should be getting more. that is great. thank you. what are they going to do about it? i think you are pointing to

where the issue that deutsche bank is really an a fundamental and very large transition program. really issue for them that investment banking as deutsche bank d it and pursued it is really under attack from a lot of fronts. in particular, the regulatory side. they need to transition that to a new model that is not entirely defined yet, i think. >> because of the regulatory environment? >> correct. also because the effect of all the changes are not really fully understood yet. that is something ongoing. one of the outpourings so far is that -- especially the fixed income business which is deutsche's strongest suit, has been under a lot of pressure. this morning, we

are going to remain the leader in fixed income and currencies. you look at what ubs is doing. you look at other institutions. is deutsche making the right call? is anshu jain making the right call? at what point do we start questioning their business strategy and the targets they set out in 2012? >> only time will tell. it certainly seems to make sense if you are a market leader in a certain business to not give that up easily. since it is a core of what deutsche bank stands for, it certainly seems to be some sense in that. deutsche bank has moved away to some extent from earlier strategies where they said, we want to be a top three player. otherwise, we don't think we can make any money. they have actually pulled back a little bit already from that and are now saying, they will focus

on costs. ongoing a retrenchment as well at deutsche bank. we don't really know how far that will take us. >> let's talk about the finances. saying the cost of litigation will not be "above average." let's talk about the capital ratio. on, on the tape as well, talking about the fact that the capital ratio could come under pressure. it is going to be volatile. this is the issue that got everybody frightened with deutsche 18 months ago, two years ago. they are not well-capitalized enough. he is talking about volatility. >> clearly that is not a helpful thing. the fixed income market, their ratios are arguably strong enough not to make this a big issue. for the equity market, it is

much more of an issue. the unspoken thing in the room there is, will they go for another capital increase? >> do you think they will have to? >> on balance, i suspect, yes. >> but not yet. >> probably sooner rather than later. >> ok, we will leave it. thank you very much indeed. reminder, anshu jain is going to be talking to us later on. he is the co-ceo of deutsche. he will be speaking to bloomberg first today. we will bring you that conversation with hans nichols a little later on. coming up, crowd funding goes green. we speak with a company aiming to reform the culture of investing and get communities involved in renewable schemes. that is coming up next right here on "the pulse." ♪

across any invest project from anywhere in the u.k. >> where is it coming from mainly? >> it is quite mainstream. there is a growing band of people who want to move their money out of conventional basis where it is invested into alternative finance, whether it is peer-to-peer lending or crowd funding. we are part of that movement. we are offering something different that you can visit for yourself. crowdave always been told funding is great, but be prepared to lose your money. maximum someone has given? about 100,000 pounds. that would be across several projects. so far we have done about 4 million pounds of investing. people are diversifying across wind, solar, in wales or nottingham. it from places across the u.k.

>> good morning, everybody. you are watching "the pulse." --eign-exchange markets turkey is the center of attention. let me show you what has been going on with the turkish l ira. the central bank aggressively hired rates last night. we have retraced the gains since two days ago. the market is coming to grips with the idea that this is a country that need significant daily funding to satisfy its current requirements and that is going to be tricky to solve. heard earlier on that we may country to close the

current account deficit overnight cash -- that is going to be brutal. spain is target number two. let's move on. income inequality taking center stage at thpresident's state of the union address last night. he said it is unacceptable for the rich to get richer and other americans to struggle. years of after four economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher. those are the top have never done better. average wages have barely budged. inequality has deepened. upward mobility has led. the cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many americans are working more than ever just to get by, let alone to get ahead. too many still are not working at all. president obama called for

extending unemployment benefits and boosting the minimum wage. he pushed for more affordable college education. it is a debate that is raging on both sides of the atlantic. how do we deal with inequality? how do we manage it? how do we pursue a narrowing of the gap? by a professor of international economics and finance. he is an adviser to the u.k. for an office. economicave the advisor to the greater london authority. let's talk to both of these gentlemen about what we need to see. professor, let's start with you. the president, addressing the issue of inequality last night. we knew he was going to do that. in terms of the policy that he would put into place to deal with this, raising the minimum wage, talking about wages, is

that the right approach? >> not really. people on minimum wages are still going to be poor. they are not going to go up. you have really got to fundamentally think, what causes poverty? things like unemployment. youth unemployment. it is huge in the u.k., in the u.s. people look at the headline unemployment rate, but the youth unemployment rate is double, triple that. neither here nor there. governments need to look at tax reform. this is a waste of everybody's money. you need fundamental reform. we have got this problem at the top end -- they're getting extremely wealthy. this is very worrying for democracy. his ruling elite -- this ruling

elite, $1 billion is a lot of money. it can last you 20 generations. we are creating a global elite of billionaires telling us what to do. focused on thet tax-wage debate. we will touch on the oligarch story later on. we are having the debate about the 50p tax rate. are we having the right debate on this side of the atlantic or are we looking at this the wrong way? the debate seems to be largely reinforced. do we need to broaden the debate and look at the whole thing? do we need to look at regressive and and progressive taxes and have a wider debate? >> the key issue should be on economic growth. the economies are recovering. the best way to address the

issues is stronger economic growth. you need to look at it in the global context. both of these economies will do well in the global economy. they are not isolated in what is happening. the bulk of people globally are doing phenomenally well. if you take the last country 25 years, everyone , apart from extreme poverty, as some phenomenally well in the last 25 years. the top five have done really well as well. middle is middle and lower income earners in europe and the states -- these guys are not doing badly, they

just are not doing relatively well as people globally. the last five years, we have had the deep recession. you have got to keep taxes as low as possible. you should not be taking income off the poorest of the poor. the best way to address the issues is to make sure your economies have strong enough growth is possible and try not to micromanage. was at the start of the electoral cycle, let's not forget it. >> let me get a couple of things out of what you said. we are in a situation where some would say you have the squeeze middle, the portions that have suffered in the united states and europe -- they have not reacted or adapted well to globalization. is that a fair comment? >> i think it is. the squeeze middle is the correct term.

you cannot increase taxes on the poor. the top avoid the taxes anyway. governments target the middle class. this is what has happened and certainly britain. -- indent certainly britain. -- in certainly britain. >> this is the portion of the economy that has not reacted well -- has not been skilled enough to be able to deal with globalization. >> this whole host of issues in the states and britain, they are pretty different. in previous recessions, unemployment had gone through the roof in the u.k. the last five years have been very different. in this cycle, companies have held onto stuff, but they have not paid them high wages. unemployment has not gone up as it might have done in previous cycles. have note and work

seen big wage increases. you need to get taxes down and control inflation. >> inflation is not a problem. >> it is a big problem in certain areas. the cost of living in parts of the u.k. is very important. what can you do from the policy perspective? not interfere too much is the key thing to do. make an environment where private sector starts to invest, generate jobs, and then you try to keep government spending control more focused. >> how do we get wages up? if we can get wages to go up -- >> wages go up one productivity goes up. good, but theyre cannot be forced. in london, the mayor of london has a london living wage. it is a voluntary thing. here in london, there are big sectors where if you impose a

high minimum wage, lots of companies will be squeezed. you have to make it a voluntary thing. some people might not like that, but once you start to push wages up as active law, there will be law,osses -- an act of there will be job losses. labor income has been squeezed because of globalization. >> the share of gdp for labor in the u.k. is fairly stable compared to the rest of the country. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much indeed. francine, over to you. >> still to come, we have had breaking news. fiat has just reported results. rebranding we are expecting. that is coming of next. ♪
