4:16 am
again, the emphasis -- we have been waiting for them for four years if not more. isabelle: absolutely. when you look at what is thatning and the life line central bank has put into the market to try and keep it contained, i don't think they are going to manage to do everything on their own. it clearly says that something needs to happen. there has been debate in the u.k. about what are we going to do? our going to cut tax rates to make it very attractive. there is very -- there's a lot of debate around that. i don't think it can carry on without any more action. how do you do it in a corrugated faction -- in a coordinated fashion? francine: it seems unlikely that china would fit into that. negative rates will go forever below zero?
4:17 am
i think lower for longer is clearly going to happen. bank of england was going to tighten rates. the fed was going to tighten rates. we had one rate hike which is so flat it was almost a case of you cannot not do it. they are going to be debating in the u.s. that i think the situation is slightly different. are you going to keep rates too low and are you going to damage the economy? in europe, it is good to stay lower. -- in europe, it is going to stay longer. francine: i would put deutsche bank, the more you have central bank action, unless you have structural reform. the more difficult is it for the markets to price things right. isabelle: there is some logic to that. central bank policy can carry on is inhis -- the problem europe it has been difficult for people to agree on fiscal policy.
4:18 am
now, you are going to add a layer of complexity, because with brexit, the u.k. can do more stuff on its own to remain. the pressure -- not to want to play the devil's advocate or to be a politician, if you look at what is been happening, they are trying to negotiate a deal where the major players, france, germany, holland, are under pressure with own electorate. that is going to be very tricky to get. we are going to see some tension and play. having back to your point, are we going to see lower rates for longer? if we look at switzerland, we can learn some lessons. caroline: on how not to do -- francine: on how not to do things? isabelle: negative rates up to 20 years. what we have seen for corporate issuers is the corporate spread has -- at some point investors said enough. you have one massive better out
4:19 am
there which can carry on buying if you want to. -- if he wants to. if it were to be lower, you can see it in europe. francine: are we going to see a dollar rally this year? isabelle: i think the dollar is one to be stronger. it is the reason -- there is no reason the dollar isn't going to get sugar. the wait and see policy is to carry on because we have u.s. elections. now we have so much turmoil around, i think the wait and see is going to be more so one of the things to take into account. francine: isabel, thank you so much for joining us. up next, the multibillion-dollar funds but no elections. we bring you the turkish prime ministers solution to getting the country back on track after
4:22 am
4:23 am
was premature. >> the coup attempt had economic damage that has incurred on the turkish economy. s&p immediately decreased our rating and i think that was not an ethical stand. it was taking benefit of the situation. we are a nation which is overcome and big coup attempt. we have struggled to keep the moxie running and these such agencies should not be rushing into situations. they should not be deciding immediately. we would have to expect them to wait and then decide on this measure. this was something that was settling for us. the turkish economy did not deserve this if you look at the indicators. when you look at european countries, the debt is considerably higher than our debt. when we look at the gross national income and take a portion with debt, the death of turkey is around 30% to 32%. this is 116% in the european
4:24 am
union and in other countries it is ready to percent. when we look at the creek. , there is almost -- at the criteria, there's almost no country in the european union that is met this criteria, but since the 2009 financial crisis, turkey has a very smooth performance. the banking sector is very strong. is -- this istio almost double the 8%. taking into account all of these factors, what criteria do you have to reduce the ranking, reduce the rate -- reduce the credit of turkey. this does not base itself on any criteria. it is nine the article and political decision. --this is an ideology go ideological and political decision.
4:25 am
there has been damaged but i'm saying this to give you an idea the dimensions of the damage. when we had a crisis with the russian federation about the russian aircraft, there was some movement in our economic indicators. the movement and the coup attempt have been similar to that. it has not been a devastating effect on the turkish economy, affecting all economic values. this was not such a change. there was a miner decrease in the stock exchange. there was a simple fluctuation to the exchange rate and the interest rates, there's been some movement but these are all temporary. i do believe in the coming days, they will go back to their normal levels. francine: that was the turkish prime minister. we'll have plenty more of that interview. -- which have spread concerns that the president is now taking advantage of the upheaval to
4:26 am
neutralize his opponents. the prime minister saying that purge seems to be nearing an end . this is a picture for the markets in terms of what we are seeing in european stocks. this is the one thing we have been trying to figure out. it has been hovering around the one-month high come after last week. they cover -- they recovered a lot of the losses sent -- losses since the u.k. voted to leave the european union. this is the week of central banks because after pumping money into the -- global fund managers have become underweight shares in europe. they want to know what the boj will do and the fed will do. the dollar strength we are seeing weighing on precious metals and investors looking toward a lot of the central banks meetings. we are expecting some inflation forecasts for the u.k.. ceo --up next, papa rate his recent grand marnier
