>> it is quite an agreement. it involves 195 countries, so basically all of them. agreement to limit global warming to two degrees. the target is to be even more aggressive. we're already one degree about. question is how does this get implemented? a lot of things going on. if all identified ahead of time their contribution. you then have a great deal of diplomacy going on in paris. the describe this is a bit weak.

in the sense that i would say doesn't do anything beyond what we were expecting going in. looking at it differently. we see great deal of business enthusiasm. it depends on where you are the value chain. they're actually viewing this is a call to action to direct their own investments. you look at some of the international oil companies taking a more measured approach there's some firms that if they have not waited they may not ever really wait. #brexit failed password it's not quite a failure. it's just a very limited scope. was created in the 90's implement an early 2000 and actually trained in the developing world in a way that made sense that doesn't even by 10 years ago. it did not include brazil or indonesia.

these countries and a few other basically the entirety of increasing global mission. china became the world's largest fossil fuel consumer a decade ago. what you have now by including all these is a way to actually meaningfully engage not to stall the countries but the actual missions. >> after three years of discussion in hong kong the board comes for us. the law will prohibit unfair business practice is. asia competition law. in cahoots. we talked about this is a major milestone three years in the making. the question is are hong kong business is ready #>> this is

big with all of these provisions coming in. i would say that waves are probably three kinds of behaviors. some businessmen are very ready area they have completed all internal lions reviews. there is ready as can be. category is businesses. they at the same time have decided to take more way. they are not yet convinced that this regime will have these. from the third category would be a vast majority of smaller businesses in hong kong. more of a struggle to understand really with these extras are all about.

>> these cartel like arrangement as we mentioned pricing sharemarket how much of it do you still see happening in hong kong smart >> obviously with all of the education competition commission has had a bit -- a year and a half. but a lot of these definitely within certain sectors some of these neighbors are ongoing. able to understand whether or not these are the -- the these reallyys want to see -- they will be very determined to go after those -- that conduct that is recently

issued enforcement guidelines against these practices. competition it's easy to understand whether the price-fixing are not. the whole space is sharing can be quite tricky. i'm curious to know even which sectors are vulnerable to breaching the lot that may not know that they are. would you be seen as a violation of possible violation? this ordinance really almost two major types of conduct as you said car sales and so on. the second is of use of the central market hour. there is no one sector. all of the sectors are concerned about this ordinance.

you can understand by the very nature of the bees i would say first of all it is a natural withe engaged regularly business partners of the same level. there the business of having to share information. secondly markets in which attendance is ray regularly taken. thirdly i would say businesses that rely heavily on third-party contributors are risk. lastly, all of the businesses that have special market power basically means that any market that is highly will be more risk.

concernere justified that this ordinance is really going to the hindrance for the current marketing function hong yes is> quickly in a way one regulation in a world where we already talk about regulation and in a region where this -- has its name on the knowledge of investment. clearly in that sense it's not great news for business. at the same time it is a very necessary correction. i would say one thing businesses need to keep in mind is they should not have a chilling effect. meanthe day this was not

coming up next how many hike? several plan moves and months to come. this is trending business.

yvonne: markets open in the region a lot of jittery nerves. the shanghai composite down half a percent. the nikkei 225 really down. 194 point down. >> look ahead to what we can expect this week and one thing is evident shoulders above the rest. that is the fed and it's entirely anticipated rate decision on thursday. >> we expect the hike this week.

this really a done deal in your eyes? like i know now it seems like a done deal but i think the next two days will be critical to watch area the fed watches financial conditions. they see components the drive financial conditions. spreads it begun to widen the lot on friday area that has indicated a 15% rise. by that measure it already done the hike. it has appreciated. all of these conditions will be watched. over the next two days by the fed. this is dramatic in the market in the u.s. next two days of much a done deal. next year?

would be a positive first half? waste that will happen in june. area more conditions importantly the plant will be finding it difficult, with confidence. the rest of the world still difficult shape. better than expected. japan's outlook still seems grim. >> the outlook is not so great. instantly goodta and better than expected. japan is in a solid condition.

seeing the pickup and corporate as well as consumer balancing. expectations of them left behind. it will not use further. up right ok. challenge really is more from the external front. lowstic unemployment so inflation is quite good. we think the policymakers will not need. >> is talked about this extra but also says he has no plans to delay the sales tax in 2017. what gives here? >> i think the question is really whether -- where the third arrow comes due.

the underlying growth next occasions have to be moderated. there are two components of japan. one is addressing the deflation risk. as is thedeflation managed. you look for higher growth estimate construction. some veryo better-than-expected numbers coming out from china. as the turnaround everyone was acting? that these policy measures starting to work. >> i think the challenge is to pull. to filter the recovery of the property market. the second is as we speak the you next chinald

particularly the modern these -- that's affecting chinese i boards. this is not been so far showing that much. the underlying measures are working in the sense that it has recovered. there will be some improvement in production. >> thank you so much. next trillions of dollars of new investment. a look at how the paris climate change deal is changed.

they say they see opportunity and media in china and in newspapers in particular. toe-chairman sunday letter readers of the newspaper and said that they plan to invest in the newspaper and expand and they feel like they will be able to combine their digital assets with the strength of the site -- south china morning post to be able to grow it in a way that is not been able to in the past. profit declines for the south china morning post for three years. what are the risks, politically and financially echoed -- financially? financially, it is important to member that this is not a big deal for alibaba. alibaba is a great big company and they have $50 billion in deal so far this year. two purchase price is hundred $66 million, so it is not that big of a deal financially for them. at the same time, it is kind of risky. they are buying a newspaper, an english thing which newspaper which has the highest profile in greater china.

the risk is that if they are too critical with the newspaper, of the chinese government, then alibaba could say some criticism inside of china, perhaps some blowback and if they are too gentle on the chinese government, the mcafee some blowback from outside of china. they have to strike a fine balance and they say they will get more editorial independence to the newspaper and let it make the decision inside of the newsroom. >> thank you so much. let's take a look at some of the other stories we're watching this morning. >> thank you. this morning brought us the latest snapshot of sentiment and corporate japan. the fourth quarter is surprised on two fronts. confidence among large manufacturers and on manufacturers beat estimates for the view of the coming months. among large manufacturers, the figure came in at 12, matching the level from the previous quarter. their business outlook for the next three months is seven.

among large not manufacturers, confidence in the fourth quarter came in at 25 matching the previous quarter at the three-month outlook, worse into 18 for 19. big companies across all industries have plan to boost capital spending by 10.8% this fiscal year. more than economists had expected. the survey covers over 10,000 japanese enterprises and is part of the batch of data the doj will scrutinize that the policy review this week. no changes expected at the meeting this time around. steelmaking and china has let production and has slumped to a 12 month low with output falling 1.6% in november from the previous year. china is the world largest supplier and it is already made cuts amid the slowdown and analysts expect more to come. is weakening as policymakers seek to steer the economy away from investment led growth. 200 and by consumer demand and services.

we got some pretty uplifting data coming from china over the weekend. retail sales and industrial production all seek forecasts. what does this mean? >> looking forward to for a long time. it is not surprising. if you look at what happened in the last 2-3 months, there is a lot of policy adjustments happening. we had the rate cut. on the physical side, we have more dramatic adjustments, particularly over the policy bank lending and also the government expanding the local program. the physical capacity has been increased so that has been useful to support if you look at data. new project has also been taking a very big growth. we saw strength in the old drivers of china. you say the two speed economy will keep building for next year. >> i think one positive is that

,f you look at the sector investment growth continues to slow down, that is in real estate. manufacturing, not as strong as infrastructure. that is consistent with the government talking about not repeating this old model. the strongest growth comes in the government supporting the auto sector. more portly, infrastructure investment. and the new consumption. still what is happening in china. yvonne: we talk about how policymakers are targeting more sub high sides of the arms. they're dealing with overcapacity. tax cuts. this is a very long-term strategy and we might not see anything in the short-term, but what does this mean when it comes to this trickling affect? we see this lead to more defaults, job cuts in the future? >> the new supply is a very new

keyword in china. i don't think that means tax cuts, although some argue that supply maybe tax cuts. that overall tax burden will remain the same. this story in china -- my reading is that it is more important to talk about further adjusting to overcapacity, so cutting overcapacity and improving the productivity. that is the most important component. the positive reading sides, capacity process will continue into 2016. yvonne: will continue to see more defaults? >> there is a related story to overcapacity adjustment and the deleveraging. my reading is that they are trying to separate the issues by minimizing the risk of default but at the same time pushing the oil capacity adjustment. as they do that? the keyword is the consolidation. reform, it as silly

is not about shutting down the company, it is about emerging and consolidation around the sle sectors. yvonne: a lot of headline news is about the end. they have listened the peg on the dollar. the new currency index, are we going to see further depreciation or is the government really trying to match the expectations of the yen? >> is a positive move. they move from a bilateral to a different exchange. china does not say that they are moving toward -- they made it very clear that the trade rates are the more important reference rate going forward. statement, they said that compared to a 2014, it will appreciate by 3%. by the and of november, so i think that the message is that in the near term the yen will continue to appreciate.

the fed is getting stronger, so yes there'll be more depreciation. yvonne: thank you for your insight. these other stories making headlines around the world, the philippines have issued storm warnings for eastern areas and southern areas ahead of the typhoon. -- forecastedorn to hit later today. it is generating sustained winds of 140 kilometers per maier -- or i -- per hour. torrential rain, possible flooding and landslides. no evacuations ordered. ecuador and sweden have reached a legal deal to allow the standard julian assange to be questioned by investigators. the 43-year-old australian has
