he would be happy with a result, but in terms of with the exception of the economy, what the data say's, a little bit counterintuitive. a stunning result locally for the gdp. yossi checked back up. looking pretty resilient. the outlook for the rba is probably to keep their hands in their pockets. it was 2.3% year on year. is kind of counterintuitive. at the end of the day, this number was help loan by exports, boosted by the weakness in the industrial and dollar. -- the australian dollar. david: you would think so. the contest the economy is in an interesting sort of juncture.

i was looking at last week's result. if we take the capex numbers, which were horrendous, ubs quoted them as saying they are beginning to go towards recessionary levels. an economy that is trying to transition away from a mining resources hiving led boom, it -- from a mining resources-led a little bit unnerving. australia is where the rba is comfortable with it. the wheels are certainly turning. rishaad: yes, absolutely. what happens next? what does the reserve bank actually want? they want a 75 handle for the aussie dollar. how are we going to get there -- how are they going to get to that target?

and terms of where the aussie dollar goes, the aussie is probably going to keep within a fairly contingent range. tore are some calls for a push back up towards the $.80 mark. really thing that will help us get there is significant weakness in the u.s. dollar and maybe some stunning data as we saw today. will help usg that get up there. but in terms of where the rba needs the aussie to be, certainly fair value at the moment with savings around 75. there is an argument from our perspective that it would be around 70 of sense -- $.74. offe get closer to the lift day for u.s. interest rates and policy normalization, certainly that will engender stronger u.s. dollar focus. nowink we are in the range where we are asking staff to see a little bit of an impact in

terms of what last week's numbers meant to the economy in where the impact will be from a confidence perspective. investment which is waning, it's a little bit concerning. it is probably not an issue in terms of access to cash and capital. there are a lot of cached out companies that are looking for investment but they are not happy or confident with the environment in which to do that. there are a couple of competing things. term, theyo medium start tracking towards 75. rishaad: great talking to you. >> 15 people rescued from the sank in thethat

growing more strongly than thought in the last quarter. it is driven along by improving exports. these numbers beat expectations. about this read being better than anticipated, right? paul: that's right. we got a bit of an indication that something special was in store with yesterday's current account numbers showing that experts are going to contribute half a percentage point to gdp. so we have a number of analysts scrambling to update their forecasts for today's gdp figures, which did rate earlier expectations. giving us on annualized figure of 2.3% for the year. expected,n the 2.1 but weaker than the 2.5% we had for the previous annual period. so that is all very good news. we have the reserve bank of

australia. yesterday, holding the cash rate at 2% as was widely expected. but in this statement was all forecastsdownbeat with growth they below trend, being weak, about public spending being subdued. so there is still plenty of headwinds for the australian economy. today's gdp growth figures certainly varying -- certainly very encouraging in the interim.

place a goodin and a properorm way of choosing his successor. there shouldn't be any more negative legacy that is left behind by sepp blatter. rishaad: isn't he entirely the wrong person to be doing that? in your view, who would you like next?the helm of fifa guest: we just had an election and we had two candidates at the end, the incumbent and prince ali of jordan. i was very much upping prince ali would win. he is young. he has reformist ideas. he is popular. as somebodyacross who is very quiet, sort of

introvert. but actually, he is very passion ate about the sport and changing it for the better. what should anybody who takes the home, what should be the priority in your view? prioritiesainly changing the way fifa is run at the top. maybe an age limit. also, people have to look at a way the executive committee is formed. inre are just 24 people nine-member associations governing everything about fifa, including the way the world cup hosting rights are allocated around the world.

andn, according to takata the automakers and the regulator at the top and we know there is a number of causes. one of the suspected causes was that ammonium nitrate, the cup would heard it. as long as that chemical is controlled and not exposed to humidity or is -- or moisture, it is safe. saveood by that by a good for the first time today that ammonium nitrate is a factor in these airbags deplane with too much force essentially breaking up and exploding in passenger spaces. to movethat it is going away from that chemical compound. there has been some confusion about whether it is or is not. but executives who testified before congress on tuesday in washington said he expects to

see a very quick move to another compound going forward, which is a major development for the company. rishaad: how are the regulators in the u.s. handling this issue? and a quick issue over whether takata can survive this? is an open question which is in large part dependent on what other parents or even what other automakers step up to shoulder some of the costs. you look at the amount of resources on its balance sheet, it is just not there versus the cost of cleaning up this mess. itsa, the regulator, for part, is starting to use this crisis for its agenda. it is putting out its lack of funding and an inflation-adjusted the basis. and arguing for more funding and the ability to be tougher on the
