training some of these people? >> that is a good question. the assumption is that companies are buying robots to save costs. you hire less laborers and you have them working 24 hours a day. that is only partially true. the primary driver at the beginning is to achieve a certain standard cut a certain quality in your output. that iorcycle factory visited, they need to make sure that every single motorcycle that comes out of the factory is painted the same. you don't paint too much of the same place twice. . robot is able to do that they were telling me a robot is so precise, it won't repaint more than a two millimeters area on the bike. human workers will sometimes missed a spot in that later

leads to corrosion on the bike. they might just waive their paint around and waste a lot of paint. there is a way companies at the beginning deployed robots is to in indiaat a factory or china produces the same quality of output as say a german factory or japanese fact three. later on, it is also the costs. it has to be cost effective. the feedback trade is about two years. for robots could do the work of essentially maybe 50 people. isis only later on that it not just the quality game, but other things like it is cheaper to have robots. those are the reasons maybe they are deploying a lot a robots. right now it is primarily quality game. >> thank you very much we will take a break.

that help them return to a profit. gaining 21% higher profit for the year to march. while citigroup and bnp paribas reduce the headcount in japan, goldman sachs increase their staff by 6%. they were done 12 transactions including a $5 billion acquisition. those transaction fees helping fees,n sachs boosts commissions, especially from its investment banking and brokerage businesses which include merger advisory. i jumped to a four-year high. profit also from fixed income rising 10%. rishaad: let's have a look at some other stories we are watching today.

down. growth is but i do think this is somewhat not only a china problem but more than asia problem. you can look at numbers in korea, taiwan. the conclusion here is that there probably isn't much they can do on the export side of things. they will have to look to the domestic economy. but then you are looking at the numbers over the weekend, the conclusion here is that challenges are still remaining with policymakers. i think they have done quite a lot in there are some positive signs, but i think it is still quite fragile, looking at the state of investment for example. i think that there is still a lot more they can do. rishaad: when we look at the inventory buildup, the inventory overhang, you would have thought this would be already drawn down.

julia: is a very difficult process, because i think that trying to redeem the amount of inventory well growing the overall economy will be difficult. i don't think it is something that will happen very quickly. infrastructure is one of them. recently it has been getting morettention, but if you look back historical, has been very much concentrated in the manufacturing sector. urbanization, a lot of urban infrastructure. railway is still lacking very much behind not only developed markets, but also some emerging markets. there is a lot more investment in china can make.

the right price for the government to be able to spearhead this infrastructure. it will look hopefully to be a good enough countercyclical policy. rishaad: 8% is a big drop. the global economy, doesn't mean there is a problem with the value of the currency? julia: i think the bigger factor here is that the world recovery is quite slow. you go across to asia and manufacturing powerhouses, korea and taiwan. i don't think it is so much of a china problem, but i think maybe something is adding to challenges of the exports. i don't think it is something that can change very quickly. this is going to be a disappointing sector going forward. rishaad: what is the policy response?

julia: i think they have a lot of ammunition. it has been a shame that they have been so far behind the curve alone deflationary pressures to build up. to stabilize sentiment. that is the only thing that can help the economy to rebuild investment growth. rishaad: what is the real rate of growth in china? it is better to look at nominal gdp growth at about 6.5%. you cannot really grow the economy with disinflation or deflation. it is better to focus on underlying growth. i think that is something that is weighing on labor markets. there is a real danger here that the inflationary pressure could get even worse. policymakers do have to come in and do some are easing as
