mark: when all of the votes were counted, david cameron's conservative party won a surprising majority in the house of commons, along with the six week campaign that preceded it, had a big effect on the u.k. economy. the day after the election when all of the votes were counted, the pound surged against the u.s. dollar, just look at that. it was up 1.38%. loud totives were declare that it was part of their performance, but of course, in the end, the conservative party won 331 seats , giving them that government majority. that means prime minister david cameron will remain prime minister david cameron. this is not the economy outcome that economists and business experts expected. that six week. leading up to the election was a

huge drag on the u.k. economy. we had seen signs of a slowdown , confidence among businesses had been falling, and traded a had not been that great, either. two of the biggest problems are wage growth and productivity. u.k. workers are on average 20% less productive's than workers in other g7 countries. when you look at the productivity gap, it is at its widest since 1992. who seems happy about how things turned out? the banking sector, for one, as well as the energy sector and as well as utilities. troubled sectors are manufacturing and construction, these are not back to where they were before the recession. before the recession, deloitte surveyed companies in the u k and asked what the risks were and what they were most worried -- in the u.k. and asked what the risks were and what they were most worried about, and it

seems like they feel crisis is -- the crisis is averted. there are smiles all around. whether or not the u.k. will decide to you -- decide to leave the european union is still up, and david cameron promised there would be a referendum up in 2017. and we discussed some new data that came out, and the governors there decided to cut the forecast coming forward, down from 2.9% down to 2.5%. aey are still maintaining pretty positive attitude, they show the and implement rate, which is at five point 5%, and they say things can get better here in the next couple of years -- 5.5%, and they say things can get better here in the next couple of years. mark: it is obvious when you look at it, but there are some similarities between the u.s. and the u.k..

improvements yet. it is probably not going to show up until we cross that 5% threshold of unemployment. we are not there yet. we are seeing this economy that is moving slowly in the first half of the year and they are getting concerned. mark: our wages the linchpin here? kathy: yes, and most of these jobs are in services that are very low pain, health care, retail, and restaurants. gdp is really driven by consumer spending. mark: next week, what are you expecting? kathy: we are looking to see a as to whether the fed is going to give any indication of an increase. 4% bet thathave a rates are going to rise in june, and we don't't -- get a 50% rise until september. a fedwe are talking about that is data dependent, but they need to see some sustained

strength over a. period of time, and not a blip on the screen. the data, and at best, the data is closely right now, and so in june, it might slip off the table. we will hear from a number of important fed speakers next week, we hear from vice chair fisher, and also, janet yellen it speaks next friday on the economy. thecould seal the fate of situation, maybe in july as welcome at they do want to keep hopes alive for rate hikes. mark: we have about 30 seconds, but i have to ask about retail numbers in april, i hear they were pretty dismal. what picture does that paid for the fed? this does not: look good, and they are not saving the money, they are spending some of it and they are spending done their credit

cards, so theoretically, that is saving. boyle, carl riccadonna, thank you both so much, appreciate it. still ahead on the bloomberg market day, we will get an update on why the european stocks closed lower this friday. hear that netflix is in talks to enter the chinese markets, it has brought netflix shares to a record high. ♪

year, and where that yields today, you can see that pessimism reflected in that and we are probably going to see rates lower for longer. i also wanted to bring you breaking news coming out in the past a few moments, there has takeover approved of another company, and it adds a big nuclear power provider as it takes over pepco holdings. clout in theing its solar programs that pepco has put forward. we are going to figure out exactly what those issues are, but pepco on the screen behind me is spiking after a got that approval. we saw exelon shares also spike after the approval came out.

for this year, and i want to underscore cautious, we are hoping to see some kind of growth. mark: are upfronts becoming educated -- coming antiquated? the networks themselves are performing around the calendar, not just in the fall. it used to be you would have new shows in the fall and reruns in the spring, but now networks are showing new programming throughout the year, and advertisers now have digital places to place their advertising dollars, michael -- dollars, like yahoo!, facebook, so they are committing a less money in the upfronts. money -- youe us gave us information about the money year after year, but due to the shift in all mine viewing, has this a seismic shift that we are seeing? paul: ratings have generally been softer crossed broadcast and even across cable networks,

and a lot of forecasters have recognized that about 40% of havedecline it may resulted in consumers going over the top or timeshifting their viewing. so that is a changing dynamic television landscape, and it is a changing dynamic that advertisers have to get used to, and the way they are thinking about it, how much money do i want to commit as a never ties or to a cable network in may for tv shows that will air in fall? maybe i will have a lot more choices in the fall whether it is traditional media or different types of media. and i are, both you commuters, we see people on the train, people have their laptops and their ipads in their laps and they are watching netflix. one of the challenges for these networks is to make sure ac nielsen, their partner in the ratings business, accurately captures that timeshifting

viewings. days,an track up to three and the state -- and this year is going to be up to seven days. what they haven't really embraced as an industry is nielsen's mobile tracking, and that is something that the advertisers and the networks and wilson all have to embrace together. mark: you say they have to embrace it, so that bigs the question, why haven't they? egs the question, why haven't they? why are they later the party? paul: they are slow in recognizing a nielsens new -- recognizing nielsen's new scheme, but it is a longer process than you would think because there are a lot of parties at the table, everybody has got to work together. mark: what is the forecast seen

it for advertising for the remainder of 2015? a sloweris going to be year than people expected, and it will be fairly flat in the tv business. that is below what investors expect when they are seeing positive gdp. it looks like it goes to the big issue of, where are those dollars going? are they leaving television and going to media elsewhere? mark: i have to ask you a quick question about late night, because david letterman will be retiring next week on wednesday. when you are at these television network meetings and these up runs, and they are saying to you, guys, 11:30, there will be a whole for a while until the hole for a a while until the new guy shows up, is that away for advertisers to advertise their products at a much cheaper rate?

that stephen colbert will be able to hit the ground running. mark: but what about that hole there? paul: networks may recognize that this transition. could help them grab audiences and keep them during the transition, so it is a very competitive marketplace and all of the networks are throwing resources behind it. sweeney, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. after decades of economic isolation, myanmar is throwing out the welcome mat for companies like hilton. our erik schatzker is there and will have updates, coming up. ♪
