8:31 am
internet economy. it has created some jobs. but at the same time, it has also brought about unemployment. it has forced a lot of brick-and-mortar retailers to close down. i noticed in the u.s., the retail sales sector has also been affected. i think the internet, e-commerce, is a platform. it provides convenience to consumers. but some of its practices are not right. they are unfair competition. itae, some of those in the industry are burning money in exchange for more traffic. profit worth 100 and eight price of 82 snap up market share. manufacturers were forced into lower quality to stay viable. if they stick to fair competition, i think it is fine. the problem is they have unfair means of competition. juliette: that was the head of china's largest soft drink company in an exclusive interview with his concerns

about the rise of the internet damaging h country's economy. bloomberg also discussed the economic future of europe with several business and financial leaders this week. let's start with the u.b.s. chairman who spoke exclusively with kathleen hays about the impact of political turbulence and european markets. me is bigger concern for not really the immediate future. i think the immediate future will see a rally for the euro and stronger data coming out of europe. i think there is no problem for the rest of this year. we move into the italian election next year. there's a stro ai-european sentiment. there are more problems ahead. the british exit, brexit, is a countdown happening now with problems that will be solved in the 12 hour. there's more volatility ahead over the next year you the last two years at least for europe. that will be rough. >> you were talking about this
8:33 am
earlier. brexit is more than a risk to just the u.k. it is a risk to all of europe that could spill over into the global economy. what is the chance of that? how will that happen? >> markets are not good at pricing binary events. that ulbe a hard brexit. the british government wants to have influence over iigtion, that they are not part of the common market. they want to have trade agreements with the rest of the world. that is the definition of a hard brexit. there is little on the continental european side that will be coming forward to accommodate that british exit. i think there will be a hard exit at the end. that will have very negative repercussions on europe, but the continent and the u.k. and it will spill over continuously in the next two years into market volatility. every speech and election outcome will be priced by the market. there wilbeps and downs and
8:34 am
more concerns. it will emanate volatility into european markets for two years to come. thanks like us have to choos strategies it will make sure we can be of continuous service to our clients throughout europe. >> what was your read on what happened in france over the weekend? do you see that as a domestic story? does that tell you about a larger political influence around the world? do you see that as populism being stopped or centrism winning the day? >> i think centrism winning the day. i thought earlier, le pen could win if she had a strong left-wing candidate against her. i knew as soon as macron won she could not win against a centrist candidate. i don't think it is populism gone away. if you look at the voting, he got 20 million. she got 10 million. 12 million people abstained. if those 12 million had voted,

there is still a large protest foot. votellion people did not for macron. it is quite a significant move i think. like european equities, french equities in particular? >> i like swiss, german equities. the euro being weak really does help germany, as you know. it has the biggest balance of payments surplus in the world. it is a significant advantage for it. >> how about european financials in particular? thanks reported better-than-expected trading results. >> i am still worried about european banks. structurally, i think they are all trying to do the right thing. u.b.s. is probably further ahead than the rest and becoming -- in

companies areent doing investme banking, the kind of risk-taking they do, let's evaluate that separately. >> glass-steagall 2.0, a good idea? >> i don't know enough to tell you if it is a good idea or not. i understand why there is an inclination to go there. i think high capital requirements is a good idea. i think creating the balance sheet transparently is a good idea. the next step, i would have to look a lot more of the details of what would berosed. >> are we fighting the last battle? >> i think we are to the extent risk has migrated. the possiblewhere source of the next crisis would come from, it is not the banks. it is the non-banks. >> funny you should say that. oveig, you may comments he said he feels the bank needs the ability to oversee the shadow banking sector. thy are aware of it. the just him have the ability.
8:39 am

8:40 am
quarter to make up for that so it averages closer to my 2.25 rate increase. i am mindful of the fact that for many years, we started off thinking growth would be stronger and by the time we were finished it was lower than that. the unemployment rate is at 4.4%. we have had strong employment growth for some time. this ought to support getting ination up to our 2% objective. i think we need to get it to 2%. >> you were clear about that. that is our mandate, along with full employment. the debate around wages. if i look at the wages data, this is a little bit like the cpi data. a little bit of question marks for market. is that money have to the higher land of rates for the fed? >> right. i think normally you would hope wages would be growing in the 3-4% range.
8:41 am
inflation product of 2% with productivity growth, you get 3-4%. we are at 2.5 percent depending on the measure. they say it is difficult to find workers with the skills. you would think that would lead to skills being bid up even more. and yet it has not happened. i'm hopeful it will move up. i think resource slack has been eroded quite a lot. at 4.4%, arguably we are at full employment. ♪
