3:05 am
created the lost decades were demographics and then the banks took 10 years to fix and reforms on investments. they were trying to hide the problem instead of fixing it. europe is trying to fix it what it is taking too long. grind intill a slow terms of growth. brent is firmly below $80 a barrel now. should we be looking at the demand side as well? andly it is the demand side em and china is winding down. globally we have europe in a stagnating market and not able to sustain the investment. much leverage in the pilot sector in brazil or and russia it's too much lower

3:12 am
and the prospect of a vibrant growth and recovery in the medium to long-term are not there. not yet there. we really should make it happen and i believe that the ground has been prepared here in brisbane. one thing that has made it back onto the agenda after being --troversially left off this deal between china and the u.s. to reduce omissions has forced it act onto the agenda. it will be very hard to ignore the climate here in brisbane and it is a very warm today. they are expected to hit a high

3:15 am
legal system and the labor markets, which is a long-term story but we have commitment from the governments. you do not need to spend a huge amount of money today. $10 billion in year is the germany surplus. pledged 10 billion which is one year of surplus, that is one airport or two highways. >> we talk about the strictly fiscal policy we asked people which air yet was most restrictive and guess what? 57% responded and said that fiscal policy in the eurozone was too restrictive. about theecently spending plan, what is on the table? billion plan $300 but let's like it fooled the money because some of it is previously pledged money in some

3:17 am
this was a multiple of that. that is why here qe is a bit less effective. markets love the happy juice, the wealth effect in europe would be less than the u.s. because the amount of assets is this the next phase of stimulus from the ecb? >> on the fourth of december we will get the ways the ecb will , i'msset-backed securities not sure we will get a big sovereign or corporate bond this september. what to doo decide with growth, spain and 30 to be a plan or infrastructure plan.
3:18 am
we could see some more buying in january. sovereign bonds is something the market really likes but i think a last resort option in case of emergencies, we have the greek elections in february. if something was wrong on the sovereign level maybe it could be on the table. >> i want to finish on sovereign debt. spoke, you made a call about the potential german periphery, two weeks later we got a turn. and the threat came back down again. where are we? >> i don't want to be a bad omen but i think next year we have and the ecb is expected to do more. elections andeek

3:35 am
other countries or is it looking more like a healthy country like portugal or spain? >> thanks for that. let's bring in my next guest who says the euro is like a tightening noose on growth and it won't loosen its grip. richard jefferies joins me now. great to have you with us. let's start with german gdp. thatys a lot about europe germany of avoiding recession is the best we can do right now. a lot of people were talking about the prospect of a recession and how it would change the attitude of german policymakers. right now, you have a labor market that remains strong, an approval rating of angela merkel that remains high. are they going to change course soon? whack's maybe things have to stay as dull as they are for longer. they haven't got the headline. >> i wanted that headline. >> the fact is they are struggling to find any growth,

3:37 am
is that going to make a difference? >> no. the problem for germany is the export markets are week. some of the export markets are on its back doorstep. it wasportantly, exporting into asia, particularly into china. those economies are slowing down. why are they struggling? they are not exporting into the west. it is a circular argument. it is an argument that you can say, the u.s. has managed to break free of that. the u.k. is showing signs of breaking free, / -- free. >> how does this play out in australia? up the chart of the chinese currency against the japanese yen, is that a preview of what we can expect in australia? >> the solution to this is not
3:38 am
in the valuing your currency. all you do is start the game and force others to do the same. if japan continues, how is korea going to respond? all that does is destroy margins. that is not the answer. the answer is to try and stimulate domestic demand. coming back to europe, that is what they are struggling to do. >> you said that is not the answer but would you say that is what is happening? this fight for inflation, not the solution. they are going to meet in brisbane and say, we are on the same page. we are trying to create inflation. but they are doing that through the foreign exchange market. are we going to start hearing about currency wars? >> inflation is not the answer either. people are worried about deflation. influence hasry
3:39 am
been there if you look at the economy in japan. a lot of what we are seeing is disinflation. the fact that energy prices are falling gives economies in the west with stronger aggregate "ask let'sost their talk about markets. how does this impact the way you view asset classes? the trade over the last five years has been not to fight the central bank. the ecb says they are going to create inflation. why do i want sovereign debt? >> why are german bonds, 10 year bonds yielding less than 10%? the answer is because there is so much liquidity and people want to park that liquidity in .n asset that is nominally safe sooner or later, that will reverse. it will happen if inflationary
