google news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. what we areis is looking at in the markets. nara -- nejra was talking about the fallen australian dollar. thanks for telling equities higher. yen sliding. eyee, we need to keep an on, on the back of the opec decision last week. you can see crude is down 0.6%, at $50.61. european equities advancing for a third day. if you look at the world bank indexes, it's trading at the highest level in more than a year. the aussie dollar, keep looking. the aussie dollar declining after the statistics bureau said third-quarter growth decreased 0.5%. a have that indian decision couple minutes ago. surprising because the central bank in india did not change interest rates. let's go to our correspondent in

mumbai. great to have you on the program. give us an idea of how this was unexpected. i think only six of our analysts, six of 44, were expecting no change in policy. 31 analysts had forecast the cut of at least 25 basis points, and five had expected 50 basis points. so the fact that only eight predicted there would be at all, it has surprised the markets. francine: is the central bank governor nervous ahead of the fed? we have had some quite sharp reactions to the currencies, the rupee already under smith and pressure. reporter: ahead of the fed decision, i think the governor wanted to keep things unchanged and sort of see how things go. we expect him to take calls possibly after that. how does the catch

clampdown hurt economic growth? the central bank of india having to cut their forecast for 2017. are those linked at all? reporter: they are. you have seen spending come down as people sort of try -- that it percent of the indian economy is cash-based. decreased to a major in spending. as a result, because of a slowdown in demand, there has been some sort of slowdown in terms of manufacturing and other services. francine: thank you so much. iddarthhilip -- s philip joining us. all the economists expect mario draghi to extend the bond buying program. next week, the fed, where the odds of a rate hike, as measured by fed funds futures, are at 100%. ofthew beasley is head global equities at henderson global investors. great to have you on the

program. if you look at india and what the ecb does tomorrow, does it all go back to the fed and the fact that markets are pricing in 100% rate hike? and bondequity markets markets are pivoting off the u.s. the last two months or so. i think we are still all fed watchers primarily, with other central banks reacting to the fed. in the case of what we just talked about in india, it is still early, how the indian economy is dealing with this shock therapy that is being enforced by the prime minister. i think when it comes to the ecb, they are more measured in terms of looking forward. we know they have pledged to continue aggressively influencing the bond market. ofncine: is this on the back the italian referendum? political risk is not getting easier. matthew: it will only get worse next year. this is telegraphed. we know there are french presidential elections next year. we know there are german elections in 2017. if we get inflation in the u.s., receipt rate hikes perhaps

faster than we thought they were going to. a strong euro, a weak euro -- that is probably a help to the european economy. see the ecb doto anything drastic yet, given how much uncertainty is a had not just politically, in the eurozone. francine: looking at your bloomberg terminal almost on a daily basis -- look at that beautiful wirp function. you have a hike of 100% for december. what comes next? are looking at three hikes? could the feds a price to the upside in two weeks and hike by 50 basis points? matthew: there is a chance wage inflation accelerates faster than we think. general inflation, we tend to see central banks in the u.s. -- let's go back to the way it works. rate rised one perhaps this year, and one or two next year. the bar is being raised to rises, even four rate

pushed forward by donald trump's programs, but we still do not know the details. markets are getting ahead of themselves. they are starting to price and deflation in the rearview mirror, and some inflationary pressures. we are yet to see that in statistics. the central bank has so far proved very statistically based. francine: how do you look at u.s. treasuries? i have a nice chart for you. i imagine this has direct impact. this is a 10 year treasury yield, right back 35 years. the bull market is finished. we spoke to critical global investors, and look at this. this is the double bottom. one bottom in blue, and a second bottom in green. what does that tell us? does it mean yield goes back up? what does it mean for the rotation in money from here into a lot of your world? matthew: i don't know. to me, it is very clear the deflationary trade is over. i am not yet convinced that inflationary trade starts. i am waiting to see evidence of

that. we look at the last two or three years of that wonderfully long-term chart we have been looking at. you see the bonds have gone up in value. at the same time, equities have appreciated in value. now, you have bonds declining and yields rising. at some point, given how equities are valued, using bonds as a discount rate, that will be bad for equities. francine: if you look at these rates, does it go to europe, the u.s., emerging markets? matthew: this is the big challenge. you have equities as the only game in town. as long as font yields do not rise much, equities are attractive. in a progrowth world, u.s. driven cyclical growth, the u.s. market will do well. emerging markets will do well. in japan is the ultimate global cyclical economy and will do well. europe could end up lagging. francine: are you worried that we see -- guy johnson this morning was writing me that if you look at the italian stock market, it was very sold off in june and july, post-brexit. we are almost looking at a bull

run, a bull market. it is crazy when you look at politics that equities are going up by so much. it is a must a similar exercise in japan. is there a worry that three years from now, everything comes crashing down? matthew: in short, yes. this is the dichotomy we are in. equities are the only asset class left that people find attractive, where you still find some defensive yields that are interesting. your is getting dragged up by other markets, despite the challenges. in terms of the u.s., the improvement in global trade outlook is pulling the european equity market up. and there is a valuation discount. european stock is getting a bit despite its challenges. that will continue to 2017. francine: matthew beasley stays with us. we will be coming back. matthew will be talking about brexit. back my brexit. theresa may agrees to reveal more details of her e.u. exit strategy. disagreement between mps over

still with us. we do not know what kind of brexit we are looking at. matthew: it is a problem. what we have been doing is being very shy toward u.k.-exposed companies. francine: insurers? matthew: banks, media companies. it is a very uncertain world. markets are discounting mechanisms, so there are plenty of cheap stocks in the u.k. market, but in a world that is perhaps refining -- reflating, the outlook for the u.k. economy, where it has been relatively robust, is uncertain and 2017. as a global investor, it is easier to focus on other countries. francine: what are markets not discounting at the moment? matthew: they do not understand the extent to which the financial services sector is in an inflationary period. thanks do not deserve huge valuations the company still have. francine: because interest rate will go up. matthew: banks, globally, there

is an expectation rates might raise faster in the u.s., if not japan and europe. the regulatory pressures overhanging banks are largely washing out. are more fines today. there are resolutions of the big overhanging antitrust cases that we know about. markets are focused on value versus growth. the banks are a value trade. many banks still trade at discounts to their embedded tangible value, book value. if growth is going to be better, rates are going to be higher. the opportunities to earn slightly higher mergers -- margins are attractive. banks are economically sensitive. will focusuickly, we on banks next, but i want to go back to the u.k. if there is a breakup of the eurozone, would equity in the u.k. benefit? matthew: some would, but the currency becomes crucially important. where you have some u.k. stocks

francine: this is "bloomberg surveillance." last week was the first time in eight years that opec countered or said they would put in output

cuts. a lot of analysts questioning whether they actually could. if you look at russia, we understand the kremlin spokesperson says putin has personally agreed to oil output cuts. if you look at the price of crude, because there was speculation that although opec decided to cut output, they will not stick to it -- now, we have the personal assurance from putin, to a spokesperson, saying they will not compensate these oil companies for output cuts, output cutsgreed to directly for the russian companies. we are back with matthew beesley. when you look at investors need to take a bet over whether opec will stick to the agreement, we have seen an output cut in the past, but they always overproduce. is this different? matthew: it seems like it is. you look at equities and you still find value in all companies. for us, i would say oil is going to trend upward. these are production cuts

outside of non-opec. i think that is generally constructive. francine: do you buy u.s. companies? i am thinking of shale gas. it looks like they may counter this opec supply cut. matthew: you look at global oil as a global industry and you pick your stocks accordingly. we have stocks in europe, we have hess in the u.s. francine: european banks also in focus. today, credit suisse out this morning with lower proffered targets. they plan to cut another billion dollars in costs. a slump in asset management forces the ceo to adjust his turnaround plan. hasy's finance ministry denied a report it is preparing to ask for a 50 billion euro loan from the european stability bank to allow for intervention for monte dei paschi and other struggling banks. how do you deal with the banks? credit suisse -- does it need to merge? does it need to take a lot more pain? seehew: credit suisse, we

markets expect inflation to go up, what does it mean for issuers next year? isabel: thank you for having me. i think what it means is, we are in a new era. over the last couple of weeks, months, interest rates have driven behavior in terms of what has been able -- what issues we have been able to do. new issue premiums have been elevated because investors have been fearful of erosion of bonds because of interest rates. as you highlighted, this is driven by the potential policy that president-elect will implement as he comes in. i think it is hard for investors to know how that will be because it is the first president who has no history of eating -- being in office before. i think people are trying to get -- we have 300 billion in infrastructure, you see that going up. all the tax reform he is talking about that happen impact on interest rates.

down some of the tension within asia. francine: i like that chart. it is important. we will be talking about china later. i did this chart for you. it is the bond bull run. it is a 35 year bull market. we brought back to the 1980's. look at this. the yield goes down, down, down. we chart the 10 year yield and this is the first bottom. you can see 2012. then a double bottom. if you look at what we heard from principal global investors, they suggest that because of technical levels, the bond is maybe finished. cash,t means to go to michael holland had to travel to london. francine: there you go. let's get to michael holland. he is the chairman and founder -- head of emerging markets. thank you for joining us.

michael, what does treasuries tell us about what kind of world we will see in 2017? michael: it is possible that some of the people calling for this to be the 30 year bond will be right. in the lastews several days has been all trump. for trump and others who are looking at a very slow time. begrudging equity market melt up. the economy has been grudging around the world. for these people to get off the bottom in terms of lack of economic growth, you end up with some inflation. this is not good for bonds -- one or two percentage. francine: you have to take a view on whether this is the end of the deflationary world and we really see inflation picking up. do we see that? treasuries are going higher, that has never been a great market for emerging market debt.

we are starting to see that repressing occur. that repricing started with the tapering in 2013, the last fed rate hike in december. and again, this year into next year. emerging-market assets could have a headwind in. monetary tos in fiscal in the u.s., i feel that is a negative. for emerging market access. michael holland, what is your confidence to maintain equities and acquire equity shares. not so much given mr. trump, but all of the action in emerging markets across ss? michael: it is prudent. ago, oneleton a decade

of the greatest, said one of the few opportunities you have to defend yourself against rising inflation is investing in the equity ago, one of the markets. it is probably a time where you could have bonds going down in price and stocks going up simultaneously. tom: i looked at the set of emerging markets, understanding they are not one thing but each individual story. which interests you right now? one of the interesting stories, if we try to get away from the macro is the political story in latin america. whereyou have an instance latin america has generally had less lehman, socialist, personality governments. you see that in argentina, brazil, the big one would be venezuela. if you imagine a venezuela that starts to normalize, that could have grave consequences for that region. francine: reflate the region?

what we see in latin america is they almost had the contrary westernto a lot of our democracy. inflation was hurting food prices because it was too high. simon: inflation has been falling drastically. you see that in mesko -- mexico. in brazil as well. it has been sticking in some of the andean regions. it is moving south. the issue is that maybe that sweet spot they were moving to this year could be somehow scuttled by movements in the working --g to weaker currencies that would have a deflationary impact. the central bank might not be able to ease. you see that in mexico, despite the fact they are reaching their inflation target. are you concerned mark it seems equities, money is coming out of bonds, going into

equities. wrong? we were all there is a court mentality that this will happen in 2017? what is the risk you see happening? michael: it is that it doesn't work. he is accurate in terms of where the politicians heads are in respect to getting inflation up, not down. it is not a problem of too high, it is a problem of too low. they are doing things, starting with trump. they thinknflation to create a better environment. if it doesn't work for whatever can comend none of us up with a good scenario why it would. but central banks are over. it has to be governments doing. what you think tom? say whatnot allowed to i think. i just get to ask questions.

peers is the roller coaster ride we have been on. this assignments world. jump in here. this is the brazilian 10 year, the 2025 piece. this is where i bought brazilian bonds. they went down 20%. they got crushed in the upper last year. the olympics, the brazilian top -- soccer team not doing well. here is the rebound no one predicted. we rolled over a little bit. helping with the volatility. have you played that in your world? active.ne has to be ,hose movements plus or -20% means one has to be tactical. when we look at markets, the correlation between u.s. treasuries and the euro is very high with emerging-market assets. saw, we started at the end of january into february

for emerging market assets was associated with treasuries falling or rallying yields, also with the dollar strength starting to peter out. his nose apprise that in the last one month since we have seen treasuries move up again and the dollar regain its strength that we have seen weaker e.m. assets. i would say that from a top-down perspective, that affect emerging-market assets in a considerable way. tom: i want to talk to michael holland about jpmorgan and what he is doing with fortress diamond. michael purvis will join us later in the hour. in our next hour, you must watch on international relations and his italy, michael spence with with us. this is bloomberg. ♪

charge, you want low interest rates. michael: that is absolutely right. there is a sort of discussion going on about whether the trump administration might not be better with janet yellen as the head of the fed. i do not think they are going to do that, but you are right. this is a situation in which i think that the markets may be overreacting, or reacting to the upside of this potential path we are on, and there may be edited of the disappointment -- and there may be a bit of a disappointment when congress gets involved. tom: have you spoken to mr. renzi in the last few days? richard: i have not. tom: you supposed to say more than that. richard: i know. i have spoken with a lot of people in italy. and at least the people that i talked to in the reform graham, it stalled. this is an economy that is in serious trouble. it is not just the banks.

you have to accept the democratic outcomes as they come at you, but this is not a good outcome. tom: one of our themes of the hour with michael spence, and we are thrilled that richard haass is with us as well. later, on the interesting politics of his utah, the jr. mikeor from utah, with lee. we will do that on bloomberg radio. washington, d.c., this morning. this is bloomberg. ♪

francine: it is certainly not as funny as it was in the last couple of days, but a beautiful london skyline nonetheless.

we have two pieces of important news. first of all, theresa may is doing a tour of the gulf states. she came under fire from within her own party that she was too secretive, and it seems she wants to take a too tight grip on the brexit negotiation. the second one, we had manufacturing data, unexpectedly dropping the most in eight months. this partly has to do with grexit -- with brexit. parlay with pharmaceuticals. let's get to the "bloomberg business flash." taylor: iran is about to sign its first u.n. oil deals and sanctions were released earlier this year. there is ansays agreement to develop oil and gas fields. credit suisse has stepped up .ost-cutting efforts

profits -- time, europe regulators have find agricole ad credit $521 million for manipulating interest rates. they are accused of colluding on the benchmark euro interest rate that wrapped up a five year investigation. three years ago, the banks refused to join a multibank settlement in the case. that is your "wennberg business flash." tom: taylor, thanks so much. this is really a joy. we are talking markets and the correlations we see right now, with two people always unqualified to talk about it. michael spence is more than qualified talking about information within our society and systems. richard haass has a most interesting bio on political economics and international

relations. i want to begin with you, ambassador. you have a fabulous moment in your new book on the world order. you go from henry kissinger's world order on whatever the new world order is. and you have a phrase, "as if the tide goes out, we shift from world war ii." how are markets adapting to this subtle chronic shift that you see as the tide goes out? richard: the short answer is they are having trouble. thead certain rules of world. we how it all the discipline of the cold war. when that ended, we found lacking. the world is moving at a faster, more robust base than politics can catch up. tom: well said. richard: for example, take cyber. technologies are moving with profound effects.

the rules are like the wild west. there is no sheriff. tom: professor spence, you have the just mathematical abilities. when i hear richard haass talk about speed, i look from an electrical engineering standpoint. abrupt changes within any system of circuitry. are the markets able to keep up with the moderates of globalization? michael: the markets can keep up with it, but the economy cannot. i think what you are getting out of trump is something quite interesting. basically, we have lived in a world in which we in america took the lead in creating this sort of global system. then we said we cannot touch the system because it yields huge benefits. and it does. the labor markets. the demand side moves around because of technology and globalization, and we are supposed to adapt. and trump is saying, i am reversing those priorities.

we are going to do what it takes to make our economy function in a way that is satisfactory to citizens, and then adults can negotiate mutually beneficial arrangements. so he is going to interfere with a lot of things that used to be untouchable before. francine: so that donald trump satisfies americans for how long? i was speaking with linda rothschild, and she reminded me are 3 million truck drivers in america. when we have driverless cars, three years, four years, five years away, those people will lose her jobs at the end of the day. if you refocus on manufacturing, how long can you reflate the economy and keep people happy? michael: in fairness, i do not think president-elect trump is relying on manufacturing only to reflate the economy and what he is concerned about is getting on with the process of having the

economy and our labor force and our human capital adapt to this new world. but what he is saying in part is, if we cannot adapt fast enough, we will change the rate at which we have to adapt. richard: there is a mitch match -- there is a mismatch. the cause of the -- the cause is technological innovation, and the responses to the donkey on trade or off shoring. the home will not be cured and millions of americans will face job displacement. we have not begun a serious debate in this country about what to do about robotics and artificial intelligence and driverless vehicles, and how we are going to cope with that. tom: we welcome you to a five-hour "surveillance" this morning. still so much to talk about. we will continue this discussion next and pivot to asia. "bloomberg daybreak" later this morning.

really looking forward this morning to marc chandler. which way will the euro break? with michael spence and richard haass, this is bloomberg. ♪

tom: francine lacqua in london, and i am tom keene in new york. michael spence from new york university, and ambassador haass from the council on foreign relations. what an honor that the two of you are here with all this going on. we were talking about this in

the break about the old and the new. so reaganesque -- there are many articles about being like comen, i am like reagan -- on, you cannot be. it is not the same world as ronald reagan had. reagan came into office with a really developed philosophy. he had written letters and articles for years, given hundreds and hundreds of policy speeches. politics was different. washington was a much more malleable, functional place. now because of reforms about how politics are conducted and societies have changed, it is much harder to garner concentrated political or. but there is something -- michael called it animal spirits -- there is a sense with where we are economically that this is a moment where we are going to go from probably an under 2% prolonged rate of growth to something much higher, with

individual tax reform, corporate tax reform, and finally some fiscal spending. it is like we are saying that the only you're in town is monetary power, and now we have something larger going on in washington. francine: two questions on that. reaganomics -- you rightly point out the differences. but he did produce large fiscal deficits and the ultra strong dollar. we do see the same thing from donald trump -- if we see the same thing from donald trump, it means that europe becomes more competitive because europe goes down. so we could argue that donald trump at the end of the day will benefit europe. richard: you have discovered the hidden secret of the trump presidency. i thought that was between us. it will take a little bit more than that, but it could take some effect, that it could be advantageous for european spirit but let's not kid ourselves.

what europeans do or do not do will have a far greater impact on their own future. francine: tomorrow on bloomberg surveillance, we speak with the central bank governor for a very long time, in a very troubled country. that is at 6:30 a.m. in new york tomorrow, 11:30 a.m. in london. i will affect that overall banking stocks are leading global stocks higher. this is all on what mario draghi can or cannot do tomorrow, people taking a bet on that the ecb will prolong qe tomorrow. what happens if they do not? this is bloomberg. ♪ planting a size-six,

to mohamed morning el-erian, who is watching as well. right now, to "first word news" with taylor. almost three fourths of the rebel held party of aleppo -- syria and its ally, russia, have rejected calls for a cease-fire. the syrian government says fighting will not stop until the rebels leave. in south korea, opposition lawmakers are moving ahead with impeachment proceedings against president arjun hey -- park has been caught up in an influence peddling scandal. here approval ratings are in the signal digits. president-elect donald trump has selected a longtime friend of china's seven, xi jinping, to be ambassador of china. iowa governor terry branstad has accepted the offer. have met several

closing. it was interesting in asia with the japanese in particular. so many of these visions and statements are still so current, whether it is the japanese dealing with koreans and chinese , whether it is visits to to class a war criminals. we are still coming to terms with the end of world war ii. it is part of a larger unsettled landscape of asia, where we still have a divided korean peninsula, you have russian and japanese territory. there is more unfinished business, politically, territorial, psychologically with world war ii than most people appreciate. tom: right now, to the unfinished business of the italian referendum and the fallout of the banks. francine? francine: we really have to look at the italian banks because the referendum was rejected by more than 60%. it did not have much of an

impact on some of these stocks. now rejected ay report in a local paper that it is appearing to request 15 billion euros from the european mechanism to support the bank. talkf the first ones to and do some real digging on monte dei paschi years ago. we are joined with -- we are joined by michael spence and richard haass. when you look at monte dei paschi and the different dynamics -- we understand they went to frankfurt, ticketing extension on the deadline. then we had reports in the press about bloomberg speculation that the italian government would intervene. what do we know about what is going on? >> at the moment, all options seem to be on the table. there is a deadline to raise capital by the end of the year. the bank needs to clean out its balance sheets. by doing so, it will take a big loss. referendum has added more

, and what we know is that they are considering an extension to the deadline, with the government using a precautionary recap, which is a form of state aid which comes with some existing stakeholders, bondholders and shareholders. that will include lots of families, households. francine: if you look a lot at the -- there seems to be a lack of urgency with monte dei paschi. would you argue that all of the different parties are negotiating, we just do not know what the outcome will be at this point? elisa: what has happened this year is that these new european rules on state aid have made this a little more complicated

to solve these situations. what we saw at the start of the year was that when there was data, the stakeholders had to pay the price, and with families in particular, you saw the prices jumping quite heavily. by adopting these laws right now, you would potentially create more damage than good. tom: this is wonderful. it is also wonderful to have, from nyu, michael spence, who spent a good part of the year in italy as well. hesser spence, with mohamed el-erian listening as well, we have the unknown unknowns, a phrase that mohamed el-erian made widely regarded. what is the set of unknown unknowns you are focused on? michael: the thing i am focused on is that anything that looks like a break with the current

pattern of policy-setting, relying on the only game in town for the ecb to bail out the banks, etc. i just do not see that coming. take italy. billing the banks out, surely that is important. the reason the banks are in next tois that italy, greece, has the worst economic performance in europe. the economy has barely grown since 2000, and that inevitably feeds back into the nonperforming loans. i think the solution to this, as opposed to just kicking the can down the road again, is something a little bit more like what is going on here. a real break in the growth pattern and policy. elisa mentioned the negotiating that is going on. i do not buy it for a minute. i think it is the can down the road.

there are no key decisions being made. how do you get politicians or financiers or institutions to make key decisions? michael: maybe you don't. tom: he is a crisis ambassador, right? richard: what is so sad about italy is that you have had current -- you have had recurring crises. why is the reason now to believe that suddenly the system will come together? you are more likely to have some string of caretakers or weak governments. tom: francine, what is the crisis that gets the society of italy or greece, for that matter, to these key decisions they have got to make? francine: you are talking about the banks, tom. think, sort out sooner than the markets seem to believe. i do not know if there's something to be said that monte dei paschi is rising 7%, 8% today. i want to go back to the wells

-- to the parallels between greece and pushing back again. i look at greece, and i cast myself back in october 2009 where they said they underestimated or understated the deficit for years. borrowings shut from in the financial markets. can you really draw parallels? at the end of the day, greece did not have any real big, healthy companies. italy does. want to geto not into an argument between you and tom. tom: why not? everyone else does. michael: they are different cases. you have to keep in mind that bailing in banks with these economic trajectories is only going to kick the can down the road. one of the things that is discouraging is that this recent vote on the referendum, which resulted in matteo renzi leaving, means that whatever reform was generated has actually stopped. tom: ambassador, make an

observation. i find this fascinating. doha to the rescue. is clearly not going to come to the rescue. but there is something here about the relationship between member states and the e.u., and the lack of clarity or responsibility. come, there is a fudging. the national governments are only willing and able to do so much. the ecb is only willing and able to do so much. so nothing gets resolved, thus you kick the can down the road. there is no clarity, and i do not see it coming in italy or anywhere else. it is not enough to resolve the problem. you want to keep crisis from bringing anybody down, and that is what we're likely to see here. francine: but the word is that the road is coming to an end unless the ecb extends this for monte dei paschi.

so there will be a resolution unless the ecb says -- so there will not be a resolution unless the ecb says, sure, take a couple of months. there will be monitoring of the political vacuum, trying out,sess, as michael did -- as michael pointed out, when governments change they push back on reforms that have been pushed through before. renzi had, at the start of his term, pushed through the deepest reorganization of the banking industry by forcing -- by encouraging lenders to emerge. elisa martinuzzi, thank you so much. on the earliest days of the banking crisis in italy.

coming up, we will not look at the crisis of the united states. in a newis the merger regulatory environment. midnderful time to discuss and small banks. we continue with spence and richard haass. this is bloomberg. stay with us. ♪

francine: this is this is bloomberg. -- this is "bloomberg surveillance." we have had great conversations ranging from productivity and how you deal with the reflation hopes on the markets. and what it means for a political shock in europe to replace some of these markets. tom: let's pretend we are at

stanford, francine, a few years ago with upstart michael spence, who somewhat argue reinvented graduate school education in the nation. richard haass, this is the kind andhart that spence put up, we will give this to ambassador haass if we can. this is exports to gdp of the united states of america. the blue circle is the crisis of 2008. this goes back to harry truman. slope matters. the red circle is japan exports to gdp. richard haass, we forget the juggernaut of exports that germany is. the yellow circle is germany at 40%-plus exports while we are at 13% of exports. we forget that each and every day. richard: in part it is a reflection of germany taking the rede of the earth, circle heading south real fast. we underestimate the

significance of exports to our economy. in some ways, we ignore the possibility of trade expanding at our peril. with the demise of tpp, the transpacific partnerships, is clearly a strategic loss, but something of an economic loss also. michael spence, you have lived this with all the political leaders that formulated the euro -- i go back to comrade adenauer in another time and place. do they have a moment of our consideration if they look for a lira appreciation or devaluation? michael: the trend is in that -- buton, but it is not it will not happening -- but it will not happen overnight. the euro as it is constructed now is a broad construction. it is difficult to reconstruct

in the south. so you go for a long period of time with high youth unemployment. and eventually support for the people who say this does not work starts to rise, and down the road you have a potential unwinding of the euro experiment. francine: michael, if we go to a polllections -- i saw 10 days ago that if you were to have a referendum on this part of the eurozone, 67% of italians at this moment say they still won the euro. but other polls say it would -- if we went to early elections in january and february, it would give the five-star movement and other populist parties, if they could come together, and majority. how do you square the two? michael: it is the electoral law in italy, the one that berlusconi changed. if they came together, they might get enough votes that they

would get this increment, that you are given under the current electoral law, and take control, but still be in a minority with respect to italians overall on the question of whether the euro is a good idea or not. francine: was it a populist vote, michael? we are trying to figure out -- and you beautifully said some of the reasons why this referendum was lost by such a big margin. but can you draw parallels between donald trump and his election, brexit, and the italian referendum vote? michael: yes and no. there was an element of it that was anti-euro, these two parties. but there was another element. there were people who did not like the prime minister. there were people who want to keep the old political order because they benefit from it. and so on. and there are people who just thought the constitutional reform had flaws in it. when you add them up together, you have an overwhelming no

vote, but it was not her populism. richard: anytime you put these things up for a vote, no matter what the narrow, explicit purpose of the vote is for this referendum, there is invariably collateral damage. tom: i want to squeeze this thing. putting up the dollar chart, anthony. dollar.s. trade-weighted , and in the middle of the room and dollar, the 90's -- the 1990's dollar. how would we do this? to have ae are going strong dollar reality. we are moving that way already. tom: will it impinge on other economies? it has got to. richard: it will have an effect on the system. tom: we are going to come back and talk on turkey. it is just percolating right now. professor spence and mr. haass with us. tomorrow, on "surveillance," he

turkish lira is weak, to say the least. euro-dollar, 1.0727. i just drum this up off good research at unicredit. this is turkish lira, russian ruble. call this the tin-erdogan activist. the turkish lira has cratered against the russian ruble in the last 16 months or so. of 10 angst.spice this is an extraordinary chart. francine: when you look at back at 2016, what they have been through, you are talking also about soaring loans, and that is extra pressure on a president that actually does not want pressure. the one thing we are certain about erdogan is that he wants to his consolidate -- he wants

to consolidate power and he does not like to be told when things go badly. we will talk turkey with michael spence, nyu professor and noble laureate,-- and nobel and richard haass. how should europe deal with turkey? michael: you have posed the -- you have had the vote in the european parliament a week or 10 days ago, that sends the message that it made turkey unsuitable for your. what turkey is doing in the middle east. you are increasingly -- increasingly turkey is grabbing behind the outside government and is far more concerned about syrian kurds than about the outside government or carrying about the welfare of the syrian people. .urkey has a very narrow prism the gap between turkey and its erstwhile allies and partners is, if anything, growing,

parallel to the liberalism we are seeing at home inside turkey. francine: michael, how do you look at the turkish economy? we had some pretty extraordinaire he headlines from the president, president erdogan, saying that first of all the depreciation of the lira is artificial because the nation will not be condemned to interest-rate lobbies. -- we saw thehat hedge fund speculators. michael: that is a natural thing for him to say. what you're seeing is the turbulence in the region, and the distant thing from europe is spilling over into the economy. tom: ambassador, how should chancellor merkel reach out to the new turkey? how does she reengage with turkey, given all of the emotion on immigration and migration? richard: she has an incredible incentive to do it since turkey controls the spigot. that has led to the weakening of the chancellor's position in the

run-up to the german elections. but turkey is making it almost impossible for the germans, who really represent european principle more than any other country right now in europe for it how do you cozy up to turkey, given what they are doing, given the scale of the arrests and the destruction of checks and balances? tom: this is wonderful. we continue this on bloomberg radio. look for the extensive coverage on our podcast today on itunes. michael spence is here without a new book. ambassador haass, this is a world in disarray. look for this, fourth of july, 2018. it sounds like a summer movie. richard: january 10, 2017. tom: there it is. ♪
