4:03 am
european union is working to. if i am optimistic that we can achieve a good and comprehensive free trade deal with the european union, why am i optimistic about that? because it is not just what is in the u.k.'s interest that is about what is in the interest of the european union. nejra: meanwhile, the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson says it would not be reasonable for the e.u. to expect for them to accept a vast bill to settle liabilities brexit after. he expects the tab to be 60 billion euros. global news 24 hours a day powered by 2600 journalists and analysts in 120 countries. this is bloomberg. francine: thank you. the market is seeing a u.s. federal reserve rate hike next week as a foregone conclusion but if there is one thing that could derail a move it is today's nonfarm payroll numbers. of data before the
4:04 am
meeting to have added 200,000 last month. but economies have underestimated employment growth in february. will that be the case again? we and find out at 1:30 p.m. u.k. time. as the global bond rout deepens yielda u.s. 10-year suffering its first run and 40 years. for today is julian chillingworth. always a pleasure. welcome to "surveillance." give us a sense of what would need to happen for the fed night ot to hike. julian: even a pretty bad number would still see a hike. all of the evidence we have been picking up over the last few weeks has been pretty strong and the adp number on wednesday was a very strong number. jobless claims were not bad last night. so, i think it would have to be
4:05 am
a truly awful number and i think that you would have to see un employment rising dramatically to shake the fed's result. francine: what happens that the market reprice? presidentne frazzleed after the other saying that they are a lot more hawkish but is there something in the data or inflation forecast that is justifying it. they are data dependent. julian: i think that they obviously when they were deliberating their next move, they were very mindful of the noises coming out of washington. and obviously, the likelihood of onther stimulus packages infrastructure coming out this year but next. and also i think they could -- the economy was performing pretty well across a whole range of data. and, obviously, as you rightly say with a keen eye on inflation and seeing that rise. francine:, he hikes are you
4:06 am
expecting this year? let me bring you over to the world interest rate probability. 100%. it's 100%. and probably cut a zero. i do not think i've ever seen it like that. do you think it is worrying because it is such a done deal , if you were the fed, would you wanted it 100 or give it a little bit of breathing room? julian: they always like to feel that they deliver no surprises. and yellen's tennessee has been a no surprise regim -- tendency has been a no surprise regime. the debate has been, is it three rate hikes this year or not? obviously some of the claiming ifes are inflation does get more of a grip and the u.s. and we see more wage inflation, then maybe three is not enough. francine: what does it mean for treasuries? julinan: we have seen a backup
4:07 am
and treasuries in the last few days. i think they are reported well pricingin three now. francine: where would you be, the short and? julian: we are at the short end. very defensivebe and our bond allocation. i think we continue to see volatility and bond markets. we will come on later today to talk about politics but obviously, you know, the political backdrop is uncertain. and that is something the bond markets do not like. francine: but they are ignoring it for the moment. what would you point to the most worry? we were speaking to jamie dimon yesterday and he was saying, donald trump is awaking the animal spirits. he does not worry about a trade war because this is just noise. do you agree? julian: i hope he is right trade war would be disastrous for the whole developed world. i suppose it is difficult for us
4:08 am
sitting this side of the atlantic and receiving all of tweetsgoing donald trump not to be worried. and i fully take on board what jamie dimon is saying and he is based in the states. i have worked out there and i can fully buy into the animal have seen onent i wall street in the past. but from this end of the telescope, i think we are concerned and will remain concerned. francine: are you concerned will not be enough tax cuts coming to? you can argue this is one of the reasons why markets were so high. what happens if you cannot deliver it? julian: two elements to this. the market is expecting the back a tax package.r, whether he can get that through congress we shall have to see in a form that will please markets. and the other side to it that we should not forget is the strong dollar, which i suspect we are going to enjoy to the rest of this year, is likely to see profits particularly from some
4:09 am
of the u.s.'s largest companies under some pressure because willusly inflation have them as well. it will not be as good as some market analysts are suggesting. francine: thank you so much for now. we will also talk about your vision for europe. we will drill down into those jobs numbers. u.k.gary cohn at 2:45 p.m. time. if you are a bloomberg customer, you can watch the show using tv go. see the video stream and follow all of our charts. this is the wirp function. you can steal them and put them in your library and data. and you can also message the show's producers and ask us to ask julian chillingworth his call on the euro-dollar. nejra: ubs has reduced is 2016 bonus pool and lowered the ceo's
4:10 am
restatedr the bank income for the year to settle legal case. the bonus call dropped 17%. has a total compensation of $13.5 million. the ceo of aberdeen asset management has said he will focus on next turn affairs after his company's merger worth standard life. martin gilbert was speaking exclusively to bloomberg and his first interview since the deal was announced. singapore property developer stocks have soared as authority curves.ket authorities will adjust a framework that limits the amount homebuyers can borrow. the time that owners must hold a property to be exempt from the duty will be shortened. and that is the bloomberg business flash. francine: european union leaders sent a clear message to the u.s. from their latest summit that they will continue to promote
4:11 am
free trade and international pacts including nato. creditors as greece's depart without an agreement on emergency loans, we spoke exclusively to the head of the country's new democracy party which leads poles. he had a very clear message for the prime minister. don't count on us to biaail out your government. >> the creditors are requesting that we consider to be excessive fiscal measures, which go beyond program,f the 2019-2020. we are not going to vote for those fiscal measures. we feel these fiscal measures greece hast that to play for their incompetence of this government. been catchinge's up with the delegates in brussels. carolina, how exactly was he -- he seemed very clear. >> he seemed very clear that he
4:12 am
does not want to vote on the current measures accepted by tsipras. he wants to call for snap elections. he told me that snap elections could take three weeks if they were to happen in the next few monthsin greece, and he was confident he could become the next prime minister if those snap elections were to happen. tsipras has got a very short majority of only 3 in parliament, so of course, he does need the opposition to vote on the measure. he might face some issues in parliament. the opposition leader, who also bed me that if he was to elected the next prime minister, he will introduce more growth oriented reforms, including privatization to send a clear signal to investors globally open force is still
4:13 am
business. he also wants to convince creditors to lower the targets for the budget surplus. he thinks that is necessary. and he is confident that in the willr term, greek bonds end up being included in the quantitative easing program of the ecb. he said if he was an investor himself, he would look at the medium to long-term prospects of greece witchy things are good. -- which he things are good. francine: you also spoke with theresa may. what did she tell you? i asked her reaction -- the danish foreign minister telling bloomberg that a trade deal with the u.k. could take up to 15 years. so, i put that question to theresa may, whether she was -- she could actually achieve a trade deal within a two-year period. the timetable we are
4:14 am
working to and that is the timetable that the european union is working to. if i am optimistic that we can achieve a good and a comprehensive free trade deal with the european union, why am i optimistic? because it is not just about what is in the uk's interest. it is also about what is in the interests of the european union. is not intheresa may brussels anymore kerry today the leaders are meeting in order to prepare the rome summit in march 25. theresa may next returns to brussel, brexit will be on the agenda. francine: they do so much. meanwhile, in yesterday's monthly policy announcement, mario draghi says the banks governing council will continue to improve changes in inflation if they are judged to have no application for the medium-term outlook. >> headline inflation has again increased largely on account of
4:15 am
rising energy and food price inflation. inflationnderlying pressures continue to remain subdued. to julianlet's get chillingworth, the chief investment officer of rathbon e's. i do not know if you look more of what the european central bank is doing or if you follow the e.u. brussels summit closely to see any indication on what happens with greece, on whether we have an agreement with the imf, and especially what happens with brexit. julian: dealing with the ecb, as he talked about removing certain instruments that he then did not tell you what those estimates were, that they had taken off the table. but he has got to manage the next 18 months effectively with people calling for tapering to kick in and a possible rate increase and the debate is
4:16 am
whether that is in 18-19 or definitely into 2019. the ongoing press coverage as we are going to have around ecb meetings are going to be followed closely in the next six months, particular i suspect after the french and dutch elections where he may feel he is in a strong position to say more about the future. francine: what is the main were you have, that greece gets kicked out of the eurozone or that something happens on greece, or is it france and italy? julian: as we stand today, and one should never make these comments emphatically, it looks unlikely that greece will be kicked out of the e.u. i think we have come down such a long road that all the senior members, the french and germans, are prepared to keep the greeks in for the overall unity of the e.u. particularly with brexit. over the french elections, yes,
4:17 am
there is going to be a lot of noise around the french elections. it looks as though we are ofting a coalition together people who are going to come together who will be anti-le pen and therefore probably around macron, but we shall have to wait and see. at the moment, that is the way the markets are seeing it, she stands little chance of getting elected. francine: how would you play it? i have the picture of the french-german spread. there must be another way of playing it. volatility or? volatility.can buy the other thing that people have been doing, which i'm not convinced is the way ford, is there has been buying in the gi lt market as well. francine: there has, a little bit. julian: whether that is the answer is a different matter. francine: exactly. that is what we are talking
4:18 am
about next. he stays with us. up next president park is sent packing. south korea's leader is ousted for her role in a corruption scandal. we're looking at live pictures where there are protests, both for president park and against park. court unanimously confirmed parliament's impeachment removing her from office from today. that could also open the door for her to face jail time. the latest from seoul next. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:19 am
4:20 am
4:21 am
4:22 am
francine: this is bloomberg "surveillance." now, south korea's president park has become the country's first democratically elected leader to be force out of office. after a court unanimously upheld parliament's decision to impeach her over her role in a corruption scandal. it was a decision many south and fought hoped for. the court explained president park committed a grave violations of the law by leaking classified documents to her friends. court president said that part betrayed the trust of the people. now, the move triggers a presidential election within 60 days, with opposition figures leading in the polls. the democratic party is the front-runner with more than 30%
4:23 am
support according to a gallup poll. the decision brings south korea closer to moving past one of the most turbulent periods in history. millions of people took to the streets, to demand probes targeting some of the most powerful business and political elites, including samsung's vice-chairman jay y. lee. south korea's remain on the streets, some to celebrate the ouster of park, others to protest the court system vision -- the court's decision. francine: still with us as julian chillingworth, the chief investment up us are at rath bone's. i made a timeline charting parks doubtful. the kospi index, the korean stock exchange and then the various circles up until the purple one are basically when some of the offices are raided at samsung. this is the apology in purple of, actually her third apology,
4:24 am
this is when we are seeing jay lee arrested. the markets to not really care. they bet on the other side of it. julian: you can argue a bit of a relief rally that by the impeachment we are seeing atters go forward and election is being tabled which the markets views as a positive and i suspect your correspondent said probably this is going to be a slight move towards the center left. and market views that overall as the possibility of reform coming through, which will be good news for the economy overall. francine: so, what does it mean for you? do you look at it from a geopolitical point of you? do we really believe that north korea could come closer to south korea? julian: we believe that it may hopefully over time come closer. i think unification is difficult to envisage. it would be extremely costly for
4:25 am
south korea. it would dwarf the invitation of east and west germany. it would undoubtedly require u.s. and chinese agreement, and obviously, i do not think that's likely anytime soon. so, consequently, reform within south korea hopefully will be good for business generally and stability. francine: are you invested in the region? are investedwe in that region in general and the longer-term growth undoubtedly yes. i think in the short-term, we were talking earlier about fears of protectionism and strong dollar, you will see volatility in the region as well. francine: would you wait it out? julian: we have been very long-term investors in asia. i wouldn't necessarily say this was the entry point. francine: stocks or currencies? julian: mainly stocks. francine: bond exposure in
4:26 am
specific countries? julian: more general, because it is easier for our client base to buy across the board then to target specific countries where you will see greater volatility. francine: thank you so much. julian chillingworth, the chief investment officer at rathbone's joining us for the first half hour. up next, as theresa may heads back -- hits back, a post brexit trade agreement could take 15 years, we speak to the finance minister of luxembourg. yesterday we also spoke to jamie jimon. we will get his views on brexit. he certainly believes that bankers should be prepared and they should get prepared together. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:29 am
francine: welcome to our weekly brexit show live in london. i'm francine lacqua. here's nejra. nejra: the uk prime minister
4:30 am
formed the for -- fired the former finance minister. the upper chamber rewrote her draft law to guarantee parliament a meaningful vote on the outcome of exit talks, potentially vetoing any final agreement and stopping the premier walking away without a deal. u.k. chancellor philip hammond has some rare good news to announce in his budget. stronger than anticipated tax receipts mean government borrowing is predicted to be lower over the next five years than forecast in november. since earlyrst time 2014 office of budget responsibility has upgraded its medium-term fiscal outlook. demand for u.k. housing dropped to a six-month low in february. a measure of inquiries from potential buyers fell to 0.3% in january. economists expect home price growth to cool as inflation
4:31 am
erodes household incomes and brexit uncertainty clouds the economic outlook. and prime minister theresa may -- may increasingly expect the u.k. to trigger the start of brexit talks late this month, according to the european union diplomat. while the end of next week remains an option if may can secure approval. signs are mounting in london and brussels she will hold back after a march 25 summit of e.u. leaders in rome. this is bloomberg. francine: thank you so much. we are just getting breaking news out of the u.k. bitu.k. is losing a little of momentum when it comes to factories and builders. u.k. manufacturing and uary,ruction shrank in jan pointing to a loss of economic momentum in the first quarter. factory outputs falling 0.9% from december and total adjuster production declined 0.4%.
4:32 am
if you look at building firms, they cut their output by 0.4%. this is the picture for the pound and we are getting breaking news for the trade deficit for the fourth quarter of 5 billion pounds revised from an earlier figure. it is quite a hefty revision. now, it is exactly three weeks until the u.k. government's own deadline to trigger article 50 starting the official process of withdrawal from the european union. today's brexit show will focus on financial services. financial and professional services are responsible for 12% of the u.k. gdp and a total of over 2 million jobs 2/3 of which are outside london. later, we are going to get the british view, but what position will the rest of europe agree when they discuss brexit at their summit in brussels today? one of the countries around the table which is also a key player in the financial services sector is luxembourg. i'm very pleased to be able to
4:33 am
speak to the country's finance minister who joins us now from singapore. so much forank you giving a little bit of your time to bloomberg. first of all, do you think -- good morning,. dold be a great template -- you think that singapore could be a great template or do you think that luxembourg should take singapore is a blueprint? >> i think luxembourg and singapore have a lot in common. they are both natural gateways into their region. luxembourg for the e.u. and singapore for asean and all the southeast of asia. we are both places where a lot of foreign direct investment th places where investment fund industry is very well developed. in fact, our bilateral cooperation between singapore and luxembourg is quite good. i signed today a bilateral agreement for allowing the
4:34 am
automatic exchange of information between luxembourg and singapore. so, we have a lot of things in common, and even more so in the future. francine: minister, i know you're one of the eternal i knowt on europe, and you want to make sure the people understand that europe is doing better than some people are reporting. what is your main concern on europe? the recovery is recovering but we are not talking about 3% growth and unemployment is still very high. >> well, in fact, what we have in europe is a recovery that's not celebrated because it's being like locked it. growing at an average in europe close to 2% this year. aresame was the case e.u. planet is going down. it is less than 10% for the first time since a long time. and debt and deficits are going down. we can see that in many countries the forecasts are even getting better by the
4:35 am
month. so, what i'm saying here is that it's useless to focus only on the negative news. and what we really need is to have confidence pick up so that also investment can pick up, because that is still the weak spot that investment in europe is not at the same levels as it was prior to the crisis. francine: minister, what have you learned about how i guess the government of theresa may will or won't protective financial services? do you believe it is one of their priorities or is it further down the list of the things they need to do in the next six months? >> well, as i just heard in your ine, it is such that the financial services account for 12% of gdp of the united kingdom and financial services account for 25% of gdp of luxembourg. these are the two largest financial centers in europe.
4:36 am
so, you can imagine that this is extremely important also because in that sector the added value is very high. issue of the whole access to the single market, you have the destruction coming from digitalization. so, these discussions are going to be very difficult. i think there is some recognition now off the-- in the united kingdom, you cannot have total access to the e.u. single market when you leave the european union. so, there needs to be a constructive approach, which needs to found. francine: how do think it will end? good, which means some kind of positive agreement, or it ends quite badly for both parties, the e.u. and the u.k. if you had to put a prediction, which one is it at the moment? >> my prediction is always positive, and i give you one good reason why this is the ca se.
4:37 am
it is not such that if you the the automatic access or passport to the european union for financial services and goods and services, that does not mean you cannot do trade with the european union. banks that have never been part of the european union. they use subsidiary's in luxembourg to take advantage of the single market. so, what i want to underline is that business always finds ways and means to make sure that they can build on the markets and sell their goods and services. so this is not a black and white issue. it's something where business can bring many answers also if the legal framework changes. francine: minister, i spoke to jamie dimon, the ceo of jpmorgan, and he was telling me they have various options when they look at moving staff outside the u.k. the so-called hard brexit. he says he only has something in
4:38 am
luxembourg. have you had any agreements a verbal or written with ceo's that luxembourg would be there natural place to move? -- their natural place to move? r expression that luxembourg is the natural place to strengthen the presence or to just establish a headquarters if you are not present. many banks, many players have set up their structures in such a way that they are only in london and they cover all of the e.u. through london. now, very many players have decided they need a second leg. and we are very natural choice. as a matter fact, large insurance companies have announced and in the last days they have chosen luxembourg, the same goes for asset managers, the same goes even for some -- companies and we are very pleased about that. on the other hand, we are also part of the solution. our goal is not to attract
4:39 am
massively people from the united kingdom. we want to build bridges and make sure that the substance -- in luxembourg is credible to such an extent that the cooperation between london and luxembourg can be optimized. francine: thank you so much for making the time to come to, speak to us. in our london studio, the finance minister of luxembourg. stay with "surveillance." still guessing. jamie dimon says he is still unsure how many jobs and services will be shifted from london posts brexit. more for marx was of interview next. that interview next. we round up the news and have your market update. we will speak to citigroup's chief economist as investors await payrolls numbers. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:40 am
4:41 am
4:42 am
francine: you are watching our weekly brexit show. i'm francine lacqua. jamie dimon says he is still getting -- guessing over how many jobs and services to shift from london as the u.k. has towards brexit. we spoke to him exquisitely in paris yesterday. >> on day one, whenever the exit takes place, jpmorgan has to be able to conduct this is with our clients and your. that is a sine qua non. they include hospitals, schools and individuals at etc., we have to do that and meet the new laws. we have to anticipate someone build up structures. we will be ready because at whatever cost, we have always been public that we think that that initially will be zero to 3000 to 4000.
4:43 am
the other important thing about day one, because there is day one and then you have the next 10 years. ist happens on day one different than what you will be asked to do. the british people will decide in the european, the policy makers will decide. we'll simply accommodate it. wants is to disrupt financial markets on day one. francine: between zero and 3000, are you saying the first 100 i send ahead of triggering article 50? >> people hiring locally, and how much it -- we're just guessing at this point. francine: but is it a phaseout, step-by-step? >> we are just guessing. the only thing i know is that on day one we have to conduct business in europe and we need different legal entities and regulatory requirements and certain expertise hired locally. francine: are you speaking to other ceo's to look at this together? >> we talk to each other.
4:44 am
we get good insights from each other. london, the clustering of london is hugely efficient for all of your. and now you will have a de-clustering, which is expensive declines. but we have no choice. that is what we have got to do. we have got the best we to do it for the client and the short run and long-run. francine: theresa may's government preserves the financial sector -- >> i really don't know. it is not up to just her. she has to negotiate with 27 other people. no one want to see disruption. some say they want to punish britain. others are more rational and thoughtful about how they want to go about it. again, as the ceo of this comfy, i have to prepare for the contingencies. if any one the viewers were on my board of directors, you may think, you may prepare for a, b and c. that is a slightly different way to look at it. francine: joining us in the
4:45 am
studio is miles sell it, to the executive of city u.k. which represents u.k.-based professional services. great to have you on the program. we're just speaking to jamie dimon. he said we have to assume the worst and do not execute until we know what happens. the problem is the timeline. do you think a lot of ceo's will move staff before we hear the government's exact plans? >> i think what people are doing as they are looking at the contingencies but equally people do not want have to put costs in action and execute actions that are necessary. this is ultimately about making sure you can minimize the cost, minimize the disruption but most important to be able to continue the able tod, to serve customers and clients in europe and the u.k. francine: can you put a figure on how many job losses the city of london will see? i asked that question to jamie, any said that they are obsessed with the but it is imported to give an idea of what the financial picture in london will look like. >> at the moment, we are in
4:46 am
something of a guessing game until we have greater certainty about what the final deal looks like, what the adaptation period might look like. we released a report. we listed a high access brexit versus a low access brexit. the high access, something proximity to eea membership, we are talking between zero and 3000 and 4000 jobs across financial services in the u.k. at the low access, something that is approximate wto rules, 35,000 jobs. francine: do you know from ceo's that a lot of e.u. nationals want to go back to their own country following the fact that first of all the -- their rights in a protected under banks say it may make more sense because it is cheaper in the continent? >> i think that is going to depend on where the deal goes, what the mood music is for the negotiations. you can talk about anecdotes but
4:47 am
there is no hard data in this space. i think what we are hearing and we have seen this today in terms of the comments we have seen appetites there is an on both sides and we saw this an interview with a luxembourg finance minister early. for a constructive outcome. there is a recognition that poor relations and a lack of access to london is not in anybody's interests. what is your relationship like with may's government? >> it is terrific. also, in brussels and member states around the e.u. 27. as i say, there is a recognition of people need to get their heads around what this means, what this requires, what this entails, what risks are and how we can navigate the waters over the next two years and beyond to make sure there is a good outcome here about one works in the interests of clients, customers and citizens. francine: i'm assuming the government has a list of priorities they want to safeguard when they start negotiations with the e.u.
4:48 am
where do you think financial services is in this list? >> we are confident that financial services is seen as one of the underpinnings of the uk's long-term success and that is been the case for the long time. we have three priorities we talked to her with government, under the mutual rightly tory recognition, the right process for exiting, and agitation per -- an adaptation period, continued access to high-quality talent and that is something we had a constructive engagement with government on and a constructive engagement on the other side of the channel as well. what we talked about is abridging period between the end of article 50 and the start of the new relationship, and then an adaptation period. i'm hoping that we get that and i think everybody sees that is in their interest to get that. this industry is a mutually advantageous to do to gassett for both sides of the channel and retaining access to that and we saw that with a common is that you had yesterday on
4:49 am
bloomberg is something that is recognized across europe. francine: what happens if you do not get it? optimist by nature. i'm caught that we will get it. and the reason i am confident is that it is in the mutual interests of both sides, that we continue to have this kind of access. francine: how much would it hurt financial services if we don't get i t? i think a lot of people are hoping if you are the ceo and looking at contingency plans, you assume the worst and plan for the best. we haveost for analysis talked over the treasury and the bank of england and we talked through it in europe, talked about 35,000 jobs in financial services, but it is worth airing in mind, the largest single slice of those does not go to your. -- to europe. it goes to new york. then asia and a bunch of businesses and thn it fragment across europe. francine: they do so much. for joining us today, the chief executive of the city u.k. up next, lords, a budget and we round out the brexit news of the week, and have your market

holding the dog and the ears picture from years ago? what advisers to president trump say is that they are able to win this over with republicans simply because next week he is going to hit back where he feels best, and that is impact stadiums. he will hold at least one rally near nashville, tennessee, where he is going to try to rally the troops. later this weekend, vice president mike pence will be in louisville, kentucky. the senators from -- the senator from kentucky is one of the folks leading this charge, senator rand paul. tom: and the senate majority leader. it is extraordinary. let me bring up a quote from michael cannon at cato. he is with the cato institute. he is supposed to agree with the republicans.
6:06 am
forget about that. he is skating. -- he is scathing. tom: kevin, that is from their friends. kevin: yes, and i think mr. cannon is reverberating and leading what i think other folks throughout the washington thing tank conservative -- washington think tank in certain institutions are also saying. then candidate trump was able to bring -- was able to win over the grassroots conservative organizations like cato and heritage. these institutions themselves have always been apprehensive about then candidate trump and now president trump and whether or not he is conservative enough. this is his first political referee.
6:07 am
everyone is waiting for the congressional budget office to score this thing. francine: i am looking at some of the stories that we are writing, whether president trump can bring jobs back. he has vowed to bring jobs back -- where are the industries that he has felt to bring jobs back, and which ones will not be enough? kevin: this is the first policy hey he has to get to if wants to get to tax reform and other policy areas. coalregards to call, -- to , the strategists i talk with note that coworkers were a large -- that cold workers were largely backers of president trump in order to get him to the white house. they will also be some of the first people to lose health insurance as a result of the repeal of the affordable care act. tom: there is something going on here that is really important. the president has his first legitimate crisis.
6:08 am
secretary tillerson will be in seoul march 17 and march 18. is he prepared to represent the president in america, given a nation turned upside down? kevin: this is the first test of foreign policy, particularly in that region of the world for this new administration. secretary tillerson has his work cut out for him. this has not dominated the main stream news flow in washington yet. until theunder a year winter olympics in south korea, he will have his work cut out for him. tom: thank you so much. joining us now, someone who has been out front on weaker economic growth. you can look at this or that, but the work of citigroup and willem buiter has been extraordinary. right now we speak trump theory. lectrump economics in your textbooks that you used to teach? unnecessary fiscal

the mostis part of populist economic agenda. so, yes, deregulation across the board is also part of the traditional animal spirits oriented policy. so, yes, nothing he has done so far except for protectionist and anti-immigrant policies are at all unconventional. francine: how did he wake up these animal spirit? do you believe that president trump has woken up the animal spirits, or where they already on that trajectory? willem: it depends on the animals. animals willing to feed at a trough? you probably see a bit of both. i have not seen any hard theence, although clearly business mood is up. capital expenditure is
6:10 am
increasing materially. so i think at the moment it is mainly a selective feel-good factor rather than any hard evidence that the u.s. is ofting out of this period very low information and doing something to raise its growth potential output, which is probably more than 1.5%. dimonne: here is jamie from yesterday talking about animal spirits in the u.s. it seems like he has woken up the animal spirits. one ceo said we have never had such a pro-business president since the founding fathers. i am not sure that is true, but business conference, small business confidence has skyrocketed because it is a growth agenda. francine: what does the president have to do for the animal spirits to go into capital spending, to make sure that the economy gets reflate it?
6:11 am
-- that the economy gets reflated? moving on fiscal stimulus not so much as on infrastructure spending and tax reform and deregulation. the most important deregulation, including the labor markets. he cannot do that himself because it is a state issue. , at theious tax reforms corporate and personal level, turn into an incredible, unsightly mess. it would be a huge step forward. i am not holding my breath, however. tom: we will come back with willem buiter later in the hour. up,ng up in -- coming

throw out the chart -- 200,000 is the forecast. you have 215,000 private sector jobs forecast. there is a chart that shows we tend to underestimate the number of jobs created in february. whispered number -- 230,000. we could have a very strong day today. it will take almost a complete collapse to get the fed off track. then we start talking about what they do in may. iancine: that is exactly what wanted to ask you. do the figures today give us more of an indication of what they think next time that they need to do? michael: the figures coming out today are about what wall street thinks the fed thinks. the fed is going to be very cautious. they want to see what happens month-to-month, and we are waiting to see what happens with obamacare, with a tax plan. the u.s. government runs out of

it is not repeal those regulations. those regulations are destabilizing in the market, and they will cost 43,000 tennessee residents their coverage. these are people with cancer and expects of -- and expensive conditions. tom: within your note, you take eastern tennessee -- folks, what is important about this is the granularity of canon's work. you take eastern tennessee and expanded to the nation. the congressional budget office has to do the same thing. can you explain to me why we have to rush before a cbo scores or estimates the cost? michael: the republican leadership is trying to manipulate its own members, trying to get them to commit to a bill before they know how much it costs. the republican leadership has estimates of how much this is going to cost. i have spoken with staffers, to the leadership, who said we have
6:34 am
consulted with cbo and actuaries at multiple firms. they have numbers but they are not sharing them, and that tells us the numbers are not going to look good. the rank-and-file are not going to like the numbers, so why are they asking them to commit to the bill before seeing the numbers? it is because they want to make it harder for them to reject this bill. tom: kevin cirilli spoke with senator paul a few days ago. i think he is a libertarian, but he is not a michael cannon libertarian. what is the distinction between senator paul's outrage and your academic and careful work? michael: for one thing, senator paul has to get reelected. he and i share a lot of critiques of this law, of this legislation, and the biggest one is that it does not repeal. it preserves for the federal government all the power that obama gear -- that obamacare gave to the pro government,

6:36 am
medicaid. the most important thing is that you need to bring down health care prices. this legislation does not do that. it takes the obamacare approach, which is throw more government subsidies at unaffordable care, rather than make health care more affordable. the way you bring health care prices down is by giving theumers the money that government and employers now control. francine: what are the chances of them changing it and doing something that you just mentioned? there must be people in the trump administration that are looking at it and that are trying to figure out the best approach and the best way to deal with it? who does president trump listen to? michael: what will make a conservativesif in the house tell leadership they will not vote for it. then the leadership has to make changes. a number of house conservatives

went to the white house yesterday and spoke with president trump about making changes to the law and moving it more in the direction that i mentioned, the direction of expanding health savings accounts. hopefully they will get rid of the subsidies, the entitlement spending that this legislation would retain from obamacare. the government subsidies for private health insurance withnies, and replace that -- tom: help me with a question that came up three times yesterday. francine lacqua is coming to you from london. what is wrong with francine's medical coverage? i have three people yesterday say to me, why can't we do it like canada, like england, like blah blah? what is wrong with francine's medical coverage? michael: for one thing, it is not very responsive to the patient because the patient is the one controlling the money. there are some pretty horrific examples of government rationing
6:38 am
in those systems. i am not going to say that no one benefits. of course they do, or else the governments would have gotten rid of them. but they do not deliver the sorts of innovation that the united states delivers with new medical technologies, nor the sorts that no system delivers, in terms of driving down the price of health care and making it more convenient and affordable for everyone. only markets are able to do that. we see that in certain soup -- we see that in certain corners, but nowhere in the u.k. francine: i pay a lot of taxes, but my insurance is free. this is the problem with my health, that you have to fund it. you have to pay a certain percentage of your annual income for everyone to be protected. tom: francine, help me here. i know it is mr. lacqua's birthday. help michael cannon here. are you getting ok coverage for your offspring in england, or do

you have to fly to boston or new york to get a pediatric visit for your kids? francine: we are all healthy for the moment. long may that be, and that makes everyone's life a lot easier. but this is the point, and tom has hit it on the head. we may have certain concerns about our systems here in europe, but is it because people -- for the fact that you do not want to give free health care coverage to everyone in the u.s., is there a mentality that you kill what you eat, so people do not want to pay to look out for their neighbors, or is it the concern tom was pointing to, that specialist help would not be covered? michael: the reason i want to get the government out of health care is because i want fewer people to fall through the cracks of our health care sector. i want to make health care better, to make the price of health care fall so that more
6:40 am
people can afford medical care themselves and the rest of us are wealthier, so that we are better able to help those who cannot help themselves. in the united states, i am a critic of the u.s. health care sector. but one of the things we do better than any other nation is we develop new medical technologies, drugs, and treatments, and those help fill in the cracks not only in our health care sector, in the u.k., in canada, and all sorts of third world nations. that is an important part of nationszle, and other are not stepping up and delivering those innovations. tom: you have to write more this weekend. i would kill for an op-ed from you and laura nadler brookings. for you and lauren to add a cowrite piece, that would be great for the nation. we are going to come back with phil about her. -- with willem buiter.
