holding its deposit rates at 6%. we'll be looking at that but we're going to go to the sri lankan central bank. we're joined on the line. thanks so much for joining thus morning. the rationale, please? >> when we look at the economy overall, credit growth, domestic credit growth is still strong but not excessively so. so on the domestic economy we think that the 6 .7% economic growth in the second quarter is probably going to be repeated in the third quarter. on the other hand, inflation has it slightly negative so hasn't been responding as in the case in the rest of the world. right now we feel the positions

are still not appropriate for a move in either direction. rishaad: just looking at what's been going on with the fed of late and this debate over september, will they, won't they, how does that affect your thinking? >> well, it certainly does have an impact on our capital markets. incomeeen g.d.p. and net being sold off by institutions and even retailers. so on a net basis, we find that the ownership locally has fallen and that is, i think, a direct consequence of all this uncertainty about the fed and the prospect of a stronger u.s. dollar. that's basically a factor we have to look at this terms of not being able to reduce our rates, which are strongly positive in real terms, even though the -- is negative.

rishaad: any fund flows as a result of this will they-won't they attitude, arjuna? >> elling i think the market's probably waiting for the 29th to get some direction. as we know, fed chair yellen has said she will raise rates before the end of the year and that is narrowing rapidly. so will she change her mind on the 29th is i guess the question on everybody's mind. >> what have you been advising the government to do in order to programs reduce the deficit and also reduce some g.d.p. levels? >> obviously revenue collection by the government is a key element of the new budget. revenues in sri lanka have drastically fallen.

to 10% of g.d.p. in the last year that. has to be fixed and that the be the key focus of the bunt. i think we will see some very interesting new initiatives when the budget is announced on the 25th of november. rishaad: can you tell us what may -- they might be? [laughter] >> i'd have to give you -- rishaad: great talking to you. governor of the sri lankan central bank there. right. it was the phrase "a currency manipulator" and now the u.s. department has dropped another phrase softening the line on the hinese currency. we have the details. >> let me give you a background on the story. the.

m.f. went as far as saying the currency is no longer undervalued. the drop was this significantly undervalued from this report. it was in each report since may of 2012. now, it also recognized that when you look short term you have a lot of these transitory market force pushing down or up this exchange rate, again, over the next few weeks or programs months. still, undervalued. not very, just undervalued. our judgment is that the r.m.b. remains believe its appropriate medium-term valuation and we believe the factors are still there. you look at what this growing surplus account is part of,

these monthly trade surpluses. massive trade surpluses coming from china. on top of this you have foreign companies coming in bringing in money. so next f.d.i. is still positive for china. before i go on, the report also described several other currencies as being undervalued. couth korean juan, tie juan -- taiwan dollar included and they're also pointing out the euro. not so much the level of the exchange rate but a strong reliance on monetary policy as a risk to watch. that's one of our top stories. at the moment, the juan is a little bit weaker at this point. rishaad: we'll look at that story later in the show. our us your thoughts at twitter field. look at the other stories making

we're going to upgrade the rhythm with china, which is something that david cameron has always said he wanted to do. referee after the dalai lama three years ago, which caused diplomatic relation put into ice effectively. what does britain get out of this >> on the one hand britain wants investment and china will invest in the british infrastructure and get a decent return over a long time. rishaad: will they get a decent return? >> i think so. you can see there's a lot of investment going into different european utilities so britain is not alone this. as china tries to diversify its economy and investment away from uying u.s. treasury bonds. but also, this is also an attempt to -- for china to improve its diplomatic relation

with europe. they need more partners. at the moment they have a strong relationship with germany but they want to expand this and make sure it stays in the e.u. rishaad: that's crucial, isn't it? >> yes, i think the people will want to hear from president xi himself. this has been a long time coming to see that the european countries come forgot. i think president xi is going to press that point. rishaad: from the left and right there is criticism coming in britain about perhaps britain bending too far here to accommodate china. what's the few -- view there? >> i think it's been a very obvious frill choice by the torreys since they came to power in 2010 that they want to improve relations with non-e.u. countries. china, but also australia, canada. they want to work together with these very closely. of course, there's criticism on the left from china's human

rights record. this will be kept in private. there might be some discussion but it will be in private. but on the right there's obviously a concern about national security because china is investing in nuclear technology. but overall i think national security issues at the moment are not so much at stake. they might talk a little about terrorism, the problems in syria. cyber attacks seems to be on the agenda. but this will be very much in the private conversation. rishaad: hong kong is not going to be brought up at all? >> i don't think so. i think cameron has made a choice to say we're not going to use hong kong. hong kong usinged to be an obstacle to chinese-british relations in the past and now they're seen there's no point in meddling in these affairs. it doesn't get britain anything so i think they're not going to

raise this. rishaad: i'm sure the chinese could get an even more decent return investing elsewhere. is it a foothold in europe they want? how does this play with washington? >> i think washington is obviously observing it but the u.k. is a very committed ally to the community -- united states, so i think like -- i don't think there'snything unexpected. before the summits there's usually a lot of preparation and bilateral conversation with the americans. what is crucial here is for the remainder of prime minister cameron's time in office, president xi will also be in office. this is a real opportunity for them to test the waters personally, to establish a mutual personal relationship that is official. he is about creating the personal rapport and trust to move ahead on a lot of things they have on the agenda.

rishaad: 42-gun salute, bucking ham palace, all the trappings of imperialism, sitting next to xi's drive against stravegans. how does this play out? >> what happens domestically in china, i think the expectation is that chinese leaders want to be seen as great leaders that are being acknowledged as responsible stakeholders in world affairs. he's been very successful in doing this. rishaad: and the world face is important to china. it's -- it costs virtually nothing. but it can cost billions when it comes to the investment program. >> the president is seen as someone who moves easily in capital investments. this comes very natural to him and he knows how to use this for

state-owned local banks to start borrowing u.s. dollars and with that they then sell the u.s. dollars on the spot market, in effect raising the r.m.b. and then the pboc basically comes in and squares those positions and takes those onto their balance sheet. one of the reasons, when it comes to the reserves. they've drawn it down. 3.5 trillion. rishaad: it's gone down by 500 billion, which is a colossal amount. >> yes, that peak was in october of 2014 and i think another comes out in november. they avoid buying up r.m.b. on the stock market. so that's the trade as we're looking at it. rishaad: let's look at london nd david cameron's ambition to
