yousef: what else can europe do to mitigate the risks of that? >> there are some european challenges, which require european responses, like migration, security, like growth and jobs. there are national responses that are insufficient. we need to integrate them with a higher level of policy. e's a lot moreer work that needs to be done to slow down the trend we have seen. are these structural problems? >> these are structural problems and there is a window of opportunity to deal with them because europes'economy is growing at a healthy rate. this is not enough. we must reform our institutions and make them more flexible. yousef: let's talk about the italian economy. growth projections for this year are 1.5%. is there any chance we could see more upside to that growth? >> it could be a little bit stronger. there are upside risks this year

and the coming two years. yousef: so, i have much more do you think the economy could grow? >> well, if all the reforms were fully implemented and if all the resources were mobilized and fully spent for public investment, we could certainly go up to 2%. yousef: how would that translate into the country's debt and gdp ratio, that we have seen rising in the recent two years? >> it will accelerate because of nominal growth coming up a little bit. inflation is much too low still. yousef: recently you have spoken about some of the ecb's reform efforts. you have expressed your perplexities, and that is a direct quote, when it comes to supervision, the ecb, perhaps, going beyond its boundaries. could you clarify your position?

>> this was specific to the thent communication about speed and timing and features of the program that needs to be implemented. this of course, absolutely is vital for all economies, including the italian economy. my point is, we must be careful in getting the speed and timing right. if we do it too fast, we could derail the whole system. yousef: there is the ongoing issue about the job opening up at the bank of italy. if it was offered to you, would you take it? >> the minister cannot take up that job. so, this is out of the question. italy's finance ministers. decision day for the ecb thursday. the central bank will give details of his plan to taper qe . president draghi is predicted to

reduce asset purchases to 30 billion euros a month. we also see draghi hiking for the first time. s francesco.ow i what do you make of that survey? 30 billion euros for nine months , ending in september. is that close to your forecasts? fromat is the consensus the conversations we have had with clients. my impression is the ecb will try to avoid that cliff affect in the first quarter. the first quarter of next year will have a lot of uncertainty on global growth. holding ane italy election and that seems to be quite a steep drop in the pace of monthly purchases. consider the ecb estimate, the flow effects from these purchases are pretty high. so, the presence from the

central bank in the secondary market, in their opinion, is one of the important factors keeping financial conditions easy. so, what to do. we have the view that the likely income will be of a near tapering, so we go to 60 all the way to zero throughout the course of the year, or a more lateral like profile. mark: is there an end date? do they give an end date? is it risky? date is necessary to appease the hawks within the council, but that end date could be left as an intermediate stop, as they have done so far. so, december is now september according to your consensus and september could be provided that the situation has improved by then. mark: does it tweak other measures, because of the

scarcity of various bonds does it decide to buy a variety of other types of bonds? >> two things here. related to the first point, we have to consider redemptions. earnestons kick in in towards the second half of 2018. you probably want to have net purchases decline slowly initially in order to allow redemptions to kick in and maintain a profile in the marketplace. secondly, you say, ok, there's y,is issue of scarcit primarily in the german bund market. so, probably, the ecb, the german bundesbank, has exhausted the 33% cap of what it can buy. so, it could redistribute these

purchases in other parts of the curve, or it could blend that quote of purchases to other central banks, which by the way, is what has taken place over the last several months already. mark: given the projection you are forecasting, how would you expect markets to respond? how do you expect the bond market to respond and the euro to respond? would you say your path is a neutral path? there's a hawkish path, let's call yours neutral. >> so, there's a level of rates. we have to understand how long the purchases continue for. because in the mind of the market, the longer the purchases last, the later the interest rate hikes will come. that is very crucial if they want to keep the level of rates

low. as far as spreads go, it is the pace of the purchases -- so, this growth versus net pace that will matter. if they drop to 30 billion euros, i suspect spreads will come under some pressure, despite that the level of interest rates will remain low. mark: francesco garzarelli from goldman sachs stays with us. stay with "surveillance." the race for the chair. the president says he'll announce the new head of the fed soon.l china's communist party elevates the station of president xi. we will talk what it means for market. this is ♪ bloomberg. ♪ mark: you are watching

second-guessing the president's mind? >> it is very difficult. i think the situation will remain very fluid. the market is avidly looking for this uncertainty to be solved. it will be solved by the next fed meeting. frankly, if the -- there's so many things happening in the administration pertaining to regulation and obviously the fiscal policy that a changing, the person at the helm of the fed, in my personal opinion at this point might be adding another source of you know, perplexity for markets. i think the choice of yellen might be the one that looks the easiest. mark: she seemed to be out of the running a day or two ago, but now it seems she is back in the running. >> i think markets will like

that, because they have knowledge of how the board operates under her leadership. but i think the trade, as it were, under the paola announcement would be more of the some. -- under the powell announcement would be more of the same, dov eish, what i think taylor would hike more quickly than the current path affords. i think these are all trades. i think we'll last a week and then have forgotten about them. for the medium-term, i thinka a choice that resembles more the yellen profile seems to be the one -- mark: and the other positions that trump has to fill, are you keeping a close eye on that as well? >> for sure. all aspects pertaining to financial regulation are very important.

my sense is that there's now consensus that the pendulum has swung too far. particularly within the fixed income markets related to liquidity. in the u.s., there's this sense of trying to do something about this, to amend some of these constraints that have been built up as regulations got set. and that is also very functional to allowing the fixed income markets to become more liquid as the fed withdraws qe. mark: back to you in a second, francesco garzarelli. up next, theresa may's troubles. pressure mounting on the prime minister as she deals with eu demands on a brexit transition deal. this is bloomberg. ♪

francesco garzarelli is still with us. i mean, do you look at the daily or are you more big picture when it comes to brexit? >> well, that is a hard question. i think we do both. we look at the daily fluctuations and see where the endpoint changes. at the present stage, i think it's more -- the end point most of us have in mind is a relatively benign one. so, not involving hard outcomes, but some sort of appeasement as we go along. probably the transition period being stretched out enough for the business decisions to take place over time. mark: is this the time for th eboe boe to be raising rates? we had a great story on the bloomberg today -- and i will

read the title if i can find it quickly. carney repeating policy errors o f tehe ecb and boj. and they are talking about the ecb of 2008 and 2011. could carney repeat the errosrs of those central banks by raising rates next week? >> they have delivered a lot of insurance, i would say, immediately after the vote which helped a great deal. i think they find themselves in a situation which is fairly strictly. the supply side of the economy is definitely sliding down, and i think will continue to slide down in 2018. the demand side of the economy, which is essentially consumption, and foreign trade, is growing still at a brisk pace. so, you need to rebalance these two, otherwise you will find

yourself having to hike as the economy slows. i think they have a window of opportunity now, maybe to touch on the breaks and see what happ ens. in february we also see some of the credit measures rolling off. that might at the margin be another restriction. i think it is appropriate. that they have a nice opportunity now. and they'll take it. now, whether they will regret it, who knows. but for the current pace of the economy, this is appropriate. mark: francesco garzarelli, chief market economist for goldman sachs. ♪ retail.

slower economic growth. the challenge is still ahead of china. are they going to do that without massive shocks? probably they will. the key indicator to watch is the property market. if you look at what going on, we did a 70 city survey. this time last year, we were having growth of 2.2% arid now we have monthly growth close to zero. we have seen it deceleration in the property market. that trends white a lot here it up in the months to come, we will see contraction in the property market. how much are chinese property companies hit by this? they have increased their debt load quite a bit. mark: that is the big question

markets in general. it has done extremely well this year. we think the fourth order will be very good and continue to have good performance. considering that china is particularly in the emerging markets, they have gone from five percent of that market to over 30% today. they have had enormous growth. that's where china has potential for concern. athink we are moving from phase where there is security selection and more focus on individual national situations. mark: give me an example. >> the political situation in turkey is difficult. it's too soon to make a turkish investment. south africa is getting more difficult.

central banks are responsible. will we see this coming to an end? we also have this stability story coming out of china, which is fascinating. china's ruling party is wrapping up what's going on in terms of its 19th convention. a massive tick in the box for president xi jinping, his name being added to the roster that got into the constitution. mao had it. this is a massive stamp on his kind of authority, the stamp of approval for his authority. it tells us the next five years will be pretty much what we have seen already. in so manytability parts of the world right now. china is not one of them. we will see over the next five years a man in charge.

is china an importer of stability for the rest of the world right now? >> i would agree with that. but i would also say that he might even last longer. there are not any obvious, young successors there. we might look at him as having a significant influence will be on his time as chair. but to your point, is china and exporter of stability? i am not sure because they are not active in terms of foreign policy, but it is a challenge to the western political order. if you look at what happened with brexit and the election of president trump, arguably one of the least qualified president in here youory, and have china looking at strong political stability, and a multi-decade long quest by the president to become this powerful and he had to be very qualified to get to this position. how does the challenge the notion of western democracy?

that is an interesting debate we need to have. guy: from a financial market point of view, what does this mean? >> stability in china is good. continuity is good. so, it adds to the overall relatively benign environment we are seeing. tom: i find it fascinating, the relationship of the united states and china versus germany and china. will we have a new capitalism out of this new party congress? what will that new capitalism be? relationships have been joint ventured. there have been talks of mergers. there has been a transnational feeling of western capitalism. what will the new capitalism be? >> oh, i don't know what the new capitalism will be. that is a question that probably far smarter people than i could answer, but one theme i see emerging here, you did not mention japan -- let's look at china. all three after the election again with the resounding

victory of abe, we are looking at governments that have been in place for 10 years plus. that suggests that potentially the new form of capitalism means to be long-term oriented. a german economic policy going back to 2010 is very long-term oriented and maybe that is reflected in the political system, too. so, maybe a greater emphasis on long-term sustainability investing relative to what we have seen in the last 20 or 30 gain, where a short-term was often preferred. tom: when a look now at the markets, and we will get to the markets later in the hour, where does china fit into the markets, and for that matter, asian emerging markets? there's been a heck of a move. is the move over? >> that depends very much on whether we have any black swans emerging on the political arena?

korea springs to mind. but it also depends on the path of monetary policy, which seems to be relatively benign. the importance of china in this if china continues to grow as it has over the last couple of years, that is good news for global trade and global growth. are seeing global growth slightly above its growth potential and that might continue into 2018. tom: we will continue with andreas utermann. all of this coming up to the ecb meeting on thursday. speaking of china, thrilled to bring you not only david goldman, but stephen growth will be here. they will be here together. ♪ taylor: this is bloomberg

emerging market product. guy: yields have gotten flatter and flatter. will we start to see a change? andreas: i think initially he gets flatter, until inflation expectations really pick up and taper comes to an end. let's not forget. the bond markets are not manipulated by the central banks. that's a real issue for companies that want to invest capital. nobody knows what the real market determined cost of capital is. that is the issue. they will remain so until tapering comes to an eend. guy: once we start to see tapering coming to an end, japan i think is a special case -- japan will be an anomaly. andreas: we have not started in europe yet. guy: there is a lot of money being invested in risk parity

trades. the rate of change in yields going higher is very important. how will the market -- is the market capable of absorbing a rate?ning higher andreas: think the market is not ready to absorb that, is not expecting that, and central banks know that. waye's a good two understanding between the markets and the central banks. every time the markets get ahead of themselves, the central banks cool them down. centraas long as that remains the case, we will month the any disorderly unraveling of this quantitative easing policy. tom: i have never asked this question before, andreas, that is why we love to have you on. it is widely understood the markets are a million miles away from chair yellen. are the markets a million miles

away from mr. draghi? andreas: um, no, i would not say they are, actually. i think the markets have learned over the last few years to listen carefully to what the central banks have said and heed the guidance they give. that's partly the explanation as to why we have seen this upward squeeze in equities, and where we have seen this very low volatility and very low rate environment. tom: we are going to come back. andreas utermann with us on the markets, and the tension in the two year space. of theup, the tension trump administration, their relationship with capitol hill. who better than wilbur ross in the 7:00 hour? ♪

andreas, is it fair to say that regulation in europe is getting tighter and the expectation, at least from the financial sector in the u.s., that the regulation will stay as it is or get easier? is that a good 30,000 foot view of the world? >> for the u.s., probably yes, but for the eu 2027, i don't see that coming. i think we will continue to have a tight regulatory framework comic maybe even tighter still. guy: so, we keep moving forward in terms of regulation in europe. i want to get your take on this because you guys are good on this stuff. regulators have been slow and releasing guidance. >> u.s. regulators or european regulators? guy: european regulators. >> i don't think there are any

expectations on that in terms of the guidance. but it is very clear ultimately if you read the fine print, talk to the policymakers, what the endgame is they wanted to get to, which is essentially, the decision was made, reince should not be charged for this. -- decision was made, clients should not be charged for this. that is what the desired endgame was, so guidance did not need to be forthcoming because we knew where the train was headed, and we knew what we had to do. guy: if the market ready for it? >> i was a most participants are ready for it, but what is a bit surprising is we have not seen the adjustments from the non-european regulators because it does impact the way you trade globally. therefore we need to see urgently guidance from the sec and other regulators in asia. importantis really and this is one of your skills. if the sec does not play ball under huge pressure from new york wall street, are we going

to see the sell side of the global industry migrate to new side going the buy to have to go over to new york to get the brainpower of the sell side? >> i don't see that as a risk and my understanding is, having had discussions in washington recently, that we are to expect an action from the sec shortly on precisely this topic to allow the method implementation globally, to run smoothly. tom: but if this does not "run smoothly," is there a risk of bodies moving to other geographies? >> now, i don't see that. i think it means we just have to adjust our trading patterns and have different conversations with a number of our clients. let's not forget, u.s. clients are asking very difficult questions of us at the moment, saying, our u european subsidiaries are not being charged. tom: this is so important, i

the major goal is to set up a parliamentary committee. interesting aspects of the story. , thank youian coal for taking the time. john: -- guy: is it going to be something that can be managed? , german can be managed parliamentary life is very organized and stylized. it's usually empty like most parliaments are. it's going to be organized enough. howproblem is going to be much debate there is, how much confrontation there is. a new eracoming into

of german politics where there is more confrontation than there is consensus. guy: that does seem to be the change we are going to be seeing. merkelag followed angela . organized in a single direction. do we not get that in the next period and what impact does that have in germany, angela merkel possibility to make policy? john: there will be two aspects. there is this party and they will try to be dramatic and may be confrontational. secondly, this time, siou assuming negotiations succeed, it will be the first time the government has to deal with two coalition parties.

the two coalition parties, the liberals and the greens don't really agree with each other a much. insider government is going to be lots of disagreement. that is going to limit her ability to move and decide as she has done during the past 10 years. guy: what role do you anticipate the afd?playing what kind of role do you see it playing in this parliament? .ohn: we will see be a disruptive role. they started with that. one party split already to start with but they've already started speaking in a very aggressive way. if they have any idea how to be a parliamentary party, we will see you a couple of experienced people are very few. this is sort of the specter hanging over europe, this idea of right-wing populism. i'm not very concerned about

right-wing populism. in germany because of the history, everybody is very excited about it likely to be a lot of emotion and confrontation with the afd and all things they say. tom: that's right where i wanted to go with you. i'm just looking at christopher -- sebastian mala be's father passbook. are we entering a new european war wrapped around migration? you see what happened in austria. i read the article on the czech republic last night at of the atlantic magazine. how will the german people and chancellor merkel react to this new clarity about refugees and migrants from the middle east? .ohn: i would not call it a war i think that's the wrong term. i think what we're entering is a new period of political debate and possible disruption.

europe has been artificially stable politically for a long time because the parties and the leaders have kept out the radical groupings. now the radical groupings are either in government or they are the government. i actually welcome this. the minority of one. actually welcome this. breaking apart the crust that is been keeping down real debate and having people really talk about who they are and what their goals are. tom: if we look at ken burns' series on vietnam, surely there was an early domino affect reality in southeast asia. are we going to get a populist domino effect over refugees? john: i don't think so. i think what you get is a strengthening of the populist vote. i don't think a domino effect suggests the system is going to collapse. what you are going to have, the

refugees have one of the main -- the refugees are one of the main things. when you're going to have our major confrontations. major political confrontation over the effects of globalization and refugees and i think you're going to see more of those. europe is going to change into something else. tom: i know this is front and center for secretary kissinger. kissinger looks at the migrants and refugees let me ask you a question, can they be pushed out of europe? john: to a considerable extent, they have. donaldns criticized trump or his plan for a wall, but if you go down to the slovenian and hungarian borders, you will find a wall also.

there has already been a strong reaction against refugees in the southern european countries it's been a fairly physical reaction. , when you look at the situation in germany, the germans have taken five to 10 times more refugees in the territory than any other country has. it's very difficult. it's like a mosaic of different reactions and situations. it's going to make for europe which is not so steady and maybe a little unnerving from time to time. guy: thank you very much. john christian kornblum joining us. a whole series of events unfolding, what's happening in catalonia, germany, eastern europe. one fact remains, the ecb is

buying the bonds and they have certain amounts of flexibility. stay may be having a few issues. how true a picture is the fixed income status and political reflection we're seeing at the moment. >> it is not a true reflection of political events. the bond markets are artificially priced and they are explicitly reducing spreads whenever there's other risk coming in. i think that is clear. next year, i think initially nothing much. that is going to be quite significant in terms of the overall bond markets. the issuance, ultimately what we

have seen in the past year, whatever long-term bond yields edged up a little bit there were long-term buyers coming in wanting to immunize long-term liabilities. it will take quite a long time for the bond markets to normalize even after tapering stops. tom: want to make note, erik schatzker is in riyadh. important conferences in saudi arabia. important announcements by the saudi government. start in royal way to your car. bloomberg radio, coast to coast. this is bloomberg. ♪

composition of the overall fed. stanley fischer, the vice chairman who was a former governor of the bank of israel, of course andrea's was late in his career, a public service, almost as a figurehead for chairman burning key and chairman -- for chairman ellen --and sherry chair yellin? andreas: probably more a sounding board and behind-the-scenes conciliar event than a figurehead. guy: are we going to understand the reaction function of the fed? premisedty much pre based on what janet yellen has told us.

the fact that there is a relationship between the labor market, inflation, is that going to be the case going forward? a rules-based system. how do i make great from what we are now to what you're going to if you were to get the position? gos it matter that we through a period where we don't understand the reaction function? andreas: i'm not sure i buy the central premise. our view has been for some time that the only way the global economy can rid itself of excessive debt on the government side as well as the private sector side is by essentially quantitative easing and the mechanism of transferring wealth to the debtors. negative interest rates and whoever is the chair in the fed, for the next three to five years will be hemmed in by policy and we want to continue that.

therefore i think we will continue to see the fed behind the curve. guy: you think politics gets in the way of that? andreas: politics support that. guy: you could argue that cute he has not trickled down in the way you hope it would've. as a result of which, the andtion of president trump plenty of other politics gets into the mix. andreas: that would require everybody to understand what is going on. the nefarious nature of quantitative easing -- easing cannot understand what i just explained. that is politically something that the current government in the u.s. and current president actually support. guy: thank you very much indeed. you want to stay with us. .v go, use it you've got all the options.

leader, xi jinping. not that he is a new leader. this is a new status. a vision that now spans out to 2050, which would be the 100th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china. seeing china progressively move from well-off society to a great power. an awful lot that can happen between now and then. they have set up a framework that will have an important impact in shaping and reshaping policy. tom: do you buy the timeline of 2020? 2030? or is it a philosophical arch to a trouble china? david: china's in the midst of a value explosion but biotechnological revolution,

which mobilizes the talents of the largest and hardest working population in the world. something the world has never seen and it's going to -- going to amaze all of us. francine: talk to me about deleveraging in china. are they deleveraging enough? stephen: i think they're focused on it. nope question. point about the debt problem that is important, they all the debt to themselves. they don't all the debt to potentially skittish foreign investors. the highest savings rate in the world. that does not mean they should continue down the road of debt intensive growth, especially if it is debt that has largely been accumulated by state owned .nterprises in china

if there's one big piece that's they have yet to grapple with this issue of state owned enterprise reform. , debt issues that are not going to go away francine: i was going to ask about shadow banking. is this enough? david: the most important thing about leverage is that two thirds of the corporate debt is attached to infrastructure. china has a primitive text system. to mess -- to fund this infrastructure development, airports, roads and so forth, they pushed credit through state-owned companies.

what's on the other side of the balance sheet is something real and productive. not an efficient way to do it but it's not the same thing as an american consumer bubble fed financed byebt derivatives. the shadow banking problem, not big enough to take china's economy down there moving faster. the amount of wealth management fallen in thelly last few months. tom: should we worry stephen roach about some current credit ?runch in china david: i think they'll be judicious in the way that they focus on deleveraging. about to appoint a new central .anker unlike western central banks,

chinese authorities are very focused on financial stability. they are mindful of the wrists -- mindful of the risks. tom: your expertise 12 years ago, do you have an understanding of the flows and obligations the chinese finance has? david: you have to separate it into the major bank balance sheets. shadow banking is about 1/10 of the credit entity. it's not big enough to bring the system down but it's a mess. a lot of this is dodgy real estate deals by developers which it would hurt.

two thirds of the total debt is railroads, airports, power and other infrastructure. that has a solid foundation even it is too highly levered it should have been financed by tax revenues, but one of the key reforms, possibly the most important is the value of as tax dearborn share of the chinese population is headed up to 75% between now and 2030. that's going to take a lot more in the way of urban construction , existing cities to drive out .he demand for credit

this is a massive urbanization. we're going to continue this. breathing -- after breathing, bloomberg intelligence.

francine: to the house of commons. testifying. he wants to agree on brexit

transition and suppose zone as possible. some of the backbenchers, maybe looking to topple the government starting with the chancellor. that has been suggestion could be a warning into the tory rebels, deeply responsible against the budget. henson.t to dan great to have you on the program. charting what the ecb interest rate has been compared to the boe. maybe three weeks ago a done deal that the boe would hike. now it seems people are uneasy. as a just that the numbers don't really add up? dan: what we've seen recently is john campbell us and dave remsen expressing concern about how

immediately bank rate needs to rides. there is a big credibility issue , delivering the hike in the first place. they will deliver the can november. it will be unanimous. it will be a tight decision but they will deliver it. weather proved to be a mistake, that's a different question altogether. we think it will be an unnecessary headwind. whether they decide to go cycler and start a hiking , we think that would be the mistake rather than taking back the emergency stimulus we saw in august last year. francine: how do they do it that is is not seen as a mistake? is the difference between the boe and the ecb. hike. to take away that

reversal of the emergency cut last august? dan: i think there was signal. the market is pricing three hikes in their forecast to rise in. it we think they will signal that is not enough to bring inflation back to target. think they will point to more hikes coming. whether they deliver the house is another question. we think economic data will sell next year. they won't be able to deliver those hikes. francine: thank you for joining us today. let's get back to our new york studio. david goldman and stephen roach are still with us. have you look at brexit? exactly how negotiations will unfold.

if you're in the u.s., to you just look at the fundamentals of the economy or do you try to follow this u.k. versus brussels thing blow-by-blow? stephen: i think for people in the united states market, keep -- key aspects are beyond us in the negotiations. from the german commotion elections, the catalonian independence and so forth, that there is a chill wind blowing in europe against brussels overreach and that many people want to return power to national entities. i believe brexit is going to hurt england in the short term but economic growth is not the only criteria. many english friends think it is a matter of national character in independence brings it will be worth it even if it is costly. tom: we were talking fascinating conversation earlier our of the .oundational issue

this populism wrapped around migration in refugees. david: history tells us this is the type of luber nationalism and populist, anti-immigration sentiment that was characteristic in the period following world war i and up until the great depression that led to the demise of what was powerfulxtraordinarily wave of globalization. history does not repeat itself but i think you have to be mindful of the rhymes. a lot of similarities with what we saw in a troubling period earlier. offer, i known -- the the leaders

right-wing party in the german elections, and you see a purge of the neo-nazis and really unpleasant types. tom: we move the not balls out on a regular basis. david: it will be like a moon rotating around the cdu, all cdu to the right. i don't think we will see a cataclysmic change but i do think we will see a shift away from the more utopian universalism. tom: i want to talk to david goldman about a chart as we look back to 2007. the volatility we saw in 1987. your briefing, how can you do better than stephen roach and david goldman on china? . , you can steal the chart. i've stole from you.

this is bloomberg.

tom: stephen roach and david goldman.

goldman was in the trenches as we went down. standard deviation move in august of 2007. story after story, it's going to happen again. anothers naked here to forced standard deviation move? i david: think we've reduced a lot of the corporate sectors to a set of static monopolies that don't have the kind of inherent volatility be had in the past. tech companies are not volatile companies. they're like utilities. implied volatility on google and microsoft is lower than that of electric utilities. thanks are in a straitjacket and padded room. tom: that is why steve roach left. david: that's why i left.

the kind of risk we have, you look at general electric, you don't like the way they calculate profits. they have been perhaps inflating prospects and they have to make revisions. general electric goes down 6% in a day but that does not affect overall market volatility. it used to be if a big dow member got crushed you would see a big spike. yesterday, hardly a ripple. francine: let's go to saudi arabia trying to reassure global investors that it is on track. aims to have $2 trillion in assets under management by 2000 30 -- by 2030. he says they are targeting competitive returns compared with global competitors. vision 2030, a couple of

different things. one of which is the diversity. our assets under , the saudicurrently economy. it's mainly in the conventional sectors. in order for us to have more we should we thought have on different pulls of investment, one of which is international and the second the next generation of investments. ioc, lifee the erik:.

it committed $20 billion to blackstone. why those firms? yasir: the best thing in the investments is to find the right partners. i'm not saying they are the only good partners in the world. we are always on the search. now we are talking to everybody. looking at different things. we are looking at their current teams which is very important to us. everything we do go through a rigorous process of governance. we have a lot of things to be looked at. all of these things have to be checked and checked. tom: a conversation on $2 trillion of sovereign wealth fund assets out of saudi arabia. extraordinary, these blocks of money we call sovereign wealth funds. francine: what they're going to

do with saudi aramco has all bankers of the world on tender hooks. tom: let me do a foreign-exchange check as we exit. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ president trump says his fed chair decision is very close. j powell is the front runner. manufacturing data outperforms. economy maintaining momentum ahead of mario draghi's next move. groundwork to steer policy for decades to come. from new york city, good morning. warm welcome to "bloomberg daybreak." i am jonathan ferro. alix steel
