is wage growth, and companies have decent cash hordes but unwilling to boost wages. the boj reports show household incomes and households holding on to cash rather than spending or investing. ,hat ever that boj is doing it's unprecedented monetary stimulus is still struggling to change the behavior of households. it suggests that japan's economy is still struggling to fully overcome deflation and achieve growth. of thegiving us more lift into their thinking, the boj releasing a summary of opinions from the less controversial meeting. >> at the last meeting, some of the technical issues, .ntroducing qqe cardiff tot was in

10 hedge funds moving to reduce financial exposure to deutsche bank. an inside document obtained by bloomberg news shows the funds which use the bank's prime brokers service moved part of their listed derivative holdings to other firms. partners., millennium deutsche bank new york listed shares fell 9% to a record low thursday. it's not just deutsche bank worrying investors. ceo faced a grilling in washington over a scandal involving unauthorized accounts. commerzbank also struggling, cutting one in five employees, and we will be speaking to the cfo later today. agreeing to invest $6.9 billion

google says it has paid all all applicable taxes and is cooperating with authorities. president is pushing google and other internet companies to pay more taxes. he is under pressure to boost with the $17 billion in shortfall. in april, facebook and google were warned that their websites could be blocked if they failed to meet the country's tax obligations. haidi: thanks. china's currency completes a seven decade long journey, joining the imf global elite and gaining a greater role on the world stage. tom mackenzie has more on this milestone. we know it is symbolic, but what does it mean for china? is seene in beijing, it as validation of their attempts

to grow the economy and open up the market here and get the yuan to challenge the u.s. dollar. it will join that imf basket of currencies. ofwill have a weighting 10.9% versus 41.7% for the u.s. dollar, and a number of benefits could accrue to china. we might see central banks and fund managers moving in to buy up chinese estimates. one as to and has that at went over five years. it could see greater demand for onshore bonds and yields on sovereign debt come off, making it cheaper for the chinese government to borrow money. hovering over this is the suspicion amongst many that that the boc and the authorities manipulate the currency here, and many analysts say that as long as that continues, this will not be a reserve currency. if you look at how much of the yuan is use globally between

china and the u.s. and trade, it is used for 2.4% of payments, so tiny usage, a number of big hurdles the currency needs to get over before this really becomes a reserve currency. so many doubts remain, but are there any lessons china could learn from japan when it comes to this effort to internationalize its currency? yes, lessons a can learn from its rival and how not to do it, because you look back a few decades, japan was in a similar situation, closed borders, close capital accounts, and it wanted to challenge the u.s. dollar. it got to the point in 1991 where the yen made up a .5% of reserves. look now, it makes up for percent compared to 64% for the u.s. dollar. that is because japan's move then happened at the same time

that bubbles burst, so that is something that china could watch out for. economy,a bigger of 18% of world output, far more than japan ever did, and its weight of 10.9% in a basket is higher than both the yen and the pound, but there are a number of significant hurdles that the government will need to overcome and navigate before the yuan s to knit at the heels of the u.s. dollar as a serious reserve currency. haidi: a work in progress there. thank you for that. will china play by the rules once the yuan gets that international seal of approval? we will focus on that next. this is bloomberg. ♪

china's currency joins

the global elite on saturday, becoming one of five global reserve currency is alongside the dollar, the yen, the pound, and the euro. dominic schneider joins me now. how much does it matter? >> in the short run, it does not matter. the most important thing is that the currency is more broadly accepted. we should see more foreign investors buying chinese assets, and that is an important step. being part of that global basket opens the door to to assets being held in china over a long time. too simplistic to think about the downside , expectingn the yuan them to intensify after the conclusion. >> people by sir currencies

because they see value. if you are part of a basket or not, but they are looking more shaky than others. clearly being part of that ev statusves you more of a where assets in renminbi can be held over a longer time. here isrtant factor two-way flows, and that is what is lacking. that means china opens up for foreigners. we still have a long way to go. haidi: do you see value in the yuan? what is your call? >> we are quite negative on the renminbi. we will see dollar-yen heading towards seven. quite weakened tremendously and trade weighted terms already. if you look at some of the moves here, we are closing in on all

the adjustments. if u.s. we how much adjustment we have done, i would say 70% behind us, just 30% to go, so more weakness too, as the dollar strengthens broadly, but i could imagine we could see a taught -- a top. haidi: if you assume a week or dollar environment, but we spoke to mr. yen, and he sees a going to 90, maybe 85 next year. are you that concerned about it? >> know, we are in the other camp. we think the yen will week in out of the fact that monetary policy between the u.s. and japan will diverge. soectations are pretty low, if the economy does well in the u.s., we will see to rate hikes next year, that will give broad dollar strength. on the other side, you'll see

boj embarking on some form of quantitative easing. you will see those monetary policy conditions. that the it, i doubt japanese economy can really handle another big run in currency strength. haidi: we spoke when we had that taper tantrum. do you expect a repeat of what happened last time, the triple r look ates? >> if you fed normalizing monetary policy, historically that is good news. the reality is that if we look back historically, asian currencies do well because the underlying economic story is improving. what is hampering that story is the fact that we have built a too much leverage. where do i stand with regards to asian currencies towards a december rate hike? i with think the asian currencies will weekend, but that move will not be a move

with a lot of conviction, so some weakness in the single digits. i think that can be expected towards the end of the year, but that is probably it with regard to weakness. haidi: how much upside risk is there for the aussie? is there a concern were going to see a markedly strong australian dollar? >> we still have challenges when it comes to australia. the non-mining investment showed signs of life but is still not strong enough. the mining site is not doing very well. i think you still have a challenge in terms of economic activity with regards to australia, so i can't see why the austrian dollars should really rise dramatically. we do still call for a broad u.s. dollar strength, so from that side, i am not inclined to see the aussie dollar going up. on top of it, some commodities are pointingtralia

to the down than the upside. that is bad news. haidi: it looks like the rally is unraveling in a ship. we might have overdone the exuberance when it comes to that opec deal out of of algiers. was a surprise. everybody thought there was going to be no deal. it looks like they have some form of agreement. the devil lies in the details. we are deceived voices from some beingies like iraq not happy, because most of the burden will be cared by saudi arabia, iraq, and other gulf countries. it is still not a clear-cut deal. the other fact we have to take into consideration is that the marginal supplier is not saudi arabia. there are also the shale guys. you got too much, shale will come back.

still a lot of uncertainty with regards to that deal, and i think that will be reflected in the oil price, so not really positive, but when investors can do right now given the uncertainty, i would not chase the oil price higher, but i would probably sell volatility. and keeping one eye on the u.s. shale guys. have a good weekend. ubsnic schneider from wealth management. the latest business flash headlines. ag bank has been asked to address deficiencies and money laundering. a was suedg year, ank was sued.

haidi: a growing number of chinese factories have payment delays rising to record levels. it now takes 92 days to collect

cash on completed sales. another day, another warning about a different aspect of chinese debt. how serious is this problem? >> it is the worst on record, now taking 92 days to collect receivables. compared with 10 years ago, this number doubled. this is the problem companies are facing right now. they do not have bargaining power with upstream companies, but downstream companies are asking them for longer. that is why their liquidity is under pressure. haidi: what are companies doing? >> there is a quick way to sell off those account receivables to a third-party, but they have to sell at a discount. we have seen more machinery companies doing that. sony heavy sold their receivables to a bank at a 9%

discount. another machine maker started using this tool called factoring. because their receivables are rising again. the examples you give are these old economy companies doing poorly. will we see more of this? the liquiditye of crunch, companies will find ways to get cash back quickly because of the rising inefficiencies in the economy. a gauge we use. that gauge shows this inefficiency is at the worst in 15 years, so now it takes more financial resources for companies to generate the same amount of revenue because inventories takes a longer time to sell, then cash takes a longer time to collect. oft is why there are a lot headaches for companies right -- and bankrupt these

bankruptcies are expected to rise 20% this year. haidi: thank you for that. why deutschecern, bank is casting a dark shadow over the markets. we have the shanghai open for you. this is bloomberg. ♪

one bright spot was industrial production, which rose, but that has been uneven. it fell last month, so it doesn't really add that much to the economic optimism. the first data released since the boj introduced its yield curve control regime. it sounds like everyone including the boj is still trying to work out how this works. >> i think what you're saying is right. it just seems that economic numbers like these, if they continue, the boj will not have any choice but to ease policy further. end int meeting will november. we will have to see what it is. some people are saying that negative rates will be cut that will get opposition from banks. isdi: the problematic yen

one cause of the following consumer prices. will they do anything to try to stem this relentless yen strength we are seeing this year? >> that is a tough one. the recent boj stimulus has not succeeded in getting the yen to weaken. the ministry of finance could eventually intervene if they yen falls too much -- rises too much. our own survey shows that they yen is expected to weaken to 110 next year, so if that happens, japan will be better off, but we will have to see. haidi: that is going to be a huge unknown. deutsche bank's financial problems have oriole the u.s. markets and have spread to asia today.
