4:18 am
francine: you think we should have a general election? christopher: it can be done. not just yes or no. on the package you can offer. francine: if you are a chief executive, this is another uncertainty. we have bad numbers yesterday in terms of data. you also have to model the possibility jeremy corbyn as prime minister. andrew: we talked about trade and the effect on confidence. look. this is another big uncertainty that is unresolved. it is not just uncertainty in london. when i visit family in birmingham, people have very little idea what will happen next. businesses do not know what will happen next. this is one of these things where we are still approaching

in finance now. the economy is slowing. hiking rates would add to uncertainty, increasing negative forces, if you like. francine: not even cut. christopher: no. francine: michael saunders is one of the most hawkish members. andrew: we don't think they will hike anytime soon. we don't have them hiking until august, 2020. market focus with the boe and fed with uncertainty on brexit, trade, it is all about the effect on demand curve. what we probably aren't considering is the effect on the supply curve. brexit and trade are negative shocks. they potentially have inflationary pressure. we have not seen it yet. francine: the last report said the market was mispricing the possibility of a rate hike, if
4:25 am
the u.k. manages a smooth transition with brexit. is the market mispricing something? christopher: you have to look at probability. otherwise, you cannot talk about pricing. chances of a smooth transition to brexit are so low now that we cannot really tell if it is mispricing or not. there is so much uncertainty this.ed toward cannot put it down and pretty numbers of statistics. it is uncertain. we don't know what prices we will get. wait and see. as people collect more information, we will see at the very least who will be prime minister. we talked about the

this is bloomberg. deutsche bank's troubles are worsening. it is downgraded to triple be. -- triple-b. this reflects the difficulty and limited progress in stabilizing its business model. deutsche bank targets of returnable equity for four percent for 2019 19, but after the first quarter results, earnings were hit by the week market, we believe that will be difficult to obtain. that means the longer target of 10% is quite far away. isncine: joining us now jonathan tice. still with us christopher .issarides, and andrew sheets
4:33 am
every day there is bad news or an investigation. it must have an impact for the people working with some. jonathan: absolutely. if you had been an employee, it would have evaporated. when will they catch a break, for investors, the bad news is consensus estimates keep coming back and back. hard to say. certainly not until they do something more wholesale and impactful rather than messing around the edges. francine: what does that mean? we are still lacking details. jonathan: it has to be get out of the u.s. properly. fairly,e people who say when you have a balance sheet with that much risk, even that
4:34 am
box cannot be ticked. they need to make the balance sheet easier to understand. francine: why the reluctance to do that? jonathan: because you are a domestic pan-european bank. deutsche said they were the last man standing in europe. management has changed, they did make a run for their own bank. they need to contend with commerzbank, it is very popular. is deutsche bank popular? it is a smaller bank. deutsche bank is still big in germany. we need pan-european focus. lost a long time ago. the volatility in trading, margins only go one way.
4:35 am
move that way. francine: what happens to the chief executive? will we hear from him in the next few months? jonathan: i think about barclays' jenkins. wholesale banking problem. if he does not say we need to change the game, he is not the right man for the job. if that is not the story, he is not the right guy for the job. in general, how much does this have to do with the ecb? , even ifhese banks they do a better job focusing on the business model, are catching a break. shows thathink it there are side effects of negative rates and low rates. the nonfinancial

the chinese economy is still growing, we do not have negative growth. we are advancing. the size of our growth is remarkable in the world. >> if trump goes ahead with additional tariffs on all of chinese exports to the u.s., what levers or tools to policymakers have to reach for in terms of retaliation? china may target the u.s. services sector operating here. trade and services is not the same as trade and goods, the u.s. has barely talked about services. china knows this is a fast-growing for the american side. that was tom mackenzie in beijing. telecoms, wer, spoke about the new technology where it competes directly with huawei.
4:42 am
it is difficult to tell if america's blacklisting of huawei is a positive or negative. .> it is early to call it there is some uncertainty and unpredictability as to how this will unfold. we have been thoughtful about, if you are a customer who wants player, howyour 4g will you deal with it? we have alternatives were you do not have to delay your rollout. we are focusing on the customers. >> the argument made by deutsche telekom that they are in bed with huawei and the rollout of 5g is not correct? >> i do not think on the european level there will be delays. onhink there might be delays not being available, or the economics not making sense for a

place for intelligence to fit. francine: that was nokia's executive speaking with caroline hyde. with me is christopher pissarides, and andrew sheets. i want to go back to artificial intelligence and transformation societies will go through. our politicians ready for it? christopher: i would not say so, no. technology,hasizing but when you look at the impact it is having on the labor market and jobs in particular, they are not ready to prepare labor markets for the job creation needed in other sectors to take on the work they will inevitably and artificials intelligence. francine: are we overestimating
4:45 am
or underestimating the impact artificial intelligence will have a next five to 10 years? christopher: the disruption has already started. with housesg it full of robots. we are overemphasizing the impact they will have come on the disruption impact, but at the same time there will be a disruption impact, and we are not preparing ourselves for what we will get. it will not be massive, but many workers, 15% of labor pulls will need to make a transition over the next 10 to 15 years. whatetely unrelated to they are doing now, and we are not prepared for the future of , where jobs will be, and
4:46 am
how we will train workers to make the transition. how we should adjust our educational system beginning to preparechool people for new jobs. we are studying applications for things happening, it is not really happening. francine: how does this translate? this is there even needs to be looked at because it could disrupt the way we live and work , especially people who are displaced. with what you do in your folio management -- portfolio management. andrew: when i think about how much change will occur, if you look at the way interest rates are pricing, long-term interest rates, the market is not assuming any real uptick in
4:47 am
long-term activity. we have technologies that are wouldtionary, years ago have seemed science-fiction, yet seem increasingly near-term. rates look at long-term in europe or the u.s. or japan, there is no suggestion we are boosting the level of productivity in the long term. that will be in adjusting debate. maybe our technologies are just the next thing, there is always technological change. if anything they are more transformative, i do not think the market from a long-term perspective is expecting that. francine: up to 20 jobs might be creation, given how andrew's perspective can work for the markets, how do central banks need to look at this? christopher: i think central banks should take on a bigger role than what they have now. that would justify inflation and get an inflation target. it comes with more.
4:48 am
central banks should encourage more productive lending by commercial banks. they have found ways of doing it, but they have to look into this isgoing, because taking place over several years, 10 to 15. we also have the carbon policies at the same time. i do not think we are prepared for that. 90% of the lending up to what banks do is in the financial sector, it is not leading the financial sector. they have to take into account the impact these are having on inequality, which is being
4:49 am
reinforced with surprises. wages keep falling. prices keep going up. central banks have a bigger role to play in the society we live in. francine: we will talk more about central banks, and if this is a way to go around it. we will be back with christopher pissarides, and andrew sheets. we will carry on our conversations with the guests, and latest business headlines next. this is bloomberg. ♪

4:53 am
andrew: i think it is hard he cares -- it is hard because there is a focus because inflation is low, we are succeeding. in some ways inflation has been stuck in a low range for a long time. people forget in the late 1990's, it was well below 2%. if you focus too much on the inflation side and ignore other imbalances in the economy, things that can create risks. that could be crucial going into this fmo see meeting. willie focus on data or concerns? financial conditions are at the easiest levels. that question about stability will be at the forefront. francine: how should we look at productivity today? the model seems broken.
4:54 am
you would expect it to be better. before, look what is happening in the world of technology and capital investment, you would expect it to grow more. this same thing happened in the early 1990's when computers were coming. i am not too concerned about productivity. , i worryre we are about wages. between low wages and low skill wages and high skill wages, which is growing. int might bring problems

terms of incentives, what jobs you have. societies do not function well when the labor force is not seem to be behaving in the formative years. the economy is growing, you .xpect improvement we are not seeing that now. decoupling to be a from productivity and wage growth. francine: will that change because of new technologies? or are we stuck? christopher: i do not see change. to take action. it is not going to be easy action.

theresa may was criticized for not having the skills to bring people from the labour party to her side to vote for this deal. >> part of the criticism for theresa may as she tended to consult with a small group, and a new leader might be more open to talking. theresa may did open talks with the labour party but those went nowhere. perhaps a new leader might be in the hard brexit camp. center, and he may get a more polarizing leader in a parliament a lot of lawmakers prefer a soft brexit, and some do not want brexit at all. you could find it is more complicated. tom: how far our conservative leaders from the voters, the electorate? thing,d: the interesting someone like boris johnson is
5:17 am
very popular with the rank-and-file. in rural areas in particular. the tory voters want brexit and like or as johnson and my support him if he gets through to the final two. the question is what do those 160,000 registered tory party members represent to the rest of the u.k.? they are a small proportion of britain and voters. how much do they represent in choosing the new prime minister what the rest of u.k. wants from brexit? , yourichard f. lacaille hear this discussion, is it an opportunity to look at the ftse and large companies in the united kingdom? yes, if you think from an asset class perspective, equities and currency might feel more comfortable for a variety of reasons then the gilt market were you are not being rewarded

5:33 am
perhapswe start from slightly different experience, different starting points. there is more huawei on the u.s., in europe than the and that has been the case for a number of years. member states have quite a lot of experience working with huawei, and we start with a different perspective on trade. europeans collectively stand for open markets and fair trade as long as you stick to the rules and follow them, so it is difficult for us to mix national security and trade policy, and difficult for us to reach for anything that looks like a blanket ban. with those starting points, i don't know where we will reach in terms of a conclusion. we started a process in europe where we will work together to analyze the risks collectively for all the european countries,
5:34 am
look at the possible measures that can be taken to mitigate those risks, and at the end of the process we will reach a conclusion. we have said we do not rule out at the end of the process that some products, some services, some suppliers might be deemed to be unsafe. maria: at this point, there is no evidence that would suggest that this company operates on behalf of the chinese authorities and there is no risk of spying. you can sign and anti-spying ingredient -- agreement. is there anything you are seeing? the memberulian: states that work on cybersecurity are going through a process, looking at technological risks, how secure is the stuff? are there technical risks we need to look at that might or

it does not mean that it is cost free. we will have to have a discussion about economic fallout. there are reports that it would cost a great deal more if you excluded all of chinese tech, and make rollout much slower. those are factors that will be taken into consideration. maria: do you think if european governments are aware of this, there will be a price to pay? julian: that is why we are having this discussion. all the member states have been represented and have bought into it. i don't think there is any lack of awareness. indeed, the u.s. administration have made sure everybody is very aware of the importance of the subject. maria: i have to ask you a question about brexit. you know how the institutions work. potentialee or hear

germany and a really important, 100th anniversary in geneva. it is the international labor organization which goes back way before the united nations to 1919. it is really interesting coming off of the debris of world war i. .oining us, simon kennedy one of the great miracles was the employment of europe after world war ii and a lot of itmployment, and my right, has gotten better recently, the job economy in europe is better? simon: you have seen the u.s. is mirrored by a laggard europe. low,n unemployment ferry elsewhere improvements -- very low, elsewhere improvements in economies that struggled. the debate on how well-paid

those jobs are goes on here as much as in the u.s. tight labor markets, there is still room to tighten. tom: we can fold this into u.k. politics, the death of british steel. no one is surprised. what is the state of unions in the united kingdom? are they disappearing as in america? less powerfully than 30 or 40 years ago, still trying to have a role. still and the opposition labour party who they backed, but financially and vocally, jeremy corbyn, the leader of the opposition party in britain, someone who could potentially be on their side in government, and so perhaps a chance for unions to have a greater voice inside the corridor's of power than
6:34 am
they have in recent years. francine: how should i look at trade? every day it is a step forward, a step backward. what does that mean for the world economy, deflationary overall? simon: i thought the trump exchange yesterday was a strawman. president xi will go to the g20 and they will meet, so threatening to put tariffs on if you do not meet seems slightly weak since people think they will break bread and come together. what comes from that is the next step in the trade war. seems too situation have blown over and we are back to where we were, and yet the china-u.s. trade war rumbles on. not good for chinese stocks, a concern for the world economy. it remains a deflationary force.
6:35 am
it could push up inflation and down growth. it is more stagflation. can the economies get ready -- that use to this flaring up -- get used too this flaring up? will they get used to it? simon: it is a big call to make. as long as the trump presidency runs the weaponization of tariffs, use of duties to do things much more broad than trying to rebalance the trade continues and that will create uncertainty. the question is, how much do you want to invest in the background supply chainse as becomes a big issue?
6:36 am
it overshadowed the world economy. tom: simon kennedy, thank you so much. bruce kasman listening on. i want to go to the global labor economy and this phrase labor share. his technology pushing away labor share on a global basis? bruce: i don't think so. productivity growth has been weak and job growth has been strong. we are close to the lowest unemployment rate since the monetary union started. it is more not getting bargaining power with the wages and that has to do with the structures of unions and the fact that there is more slack in the labor market then we measure. i don't think technology has been driving shape -- we go with the model right
6:37 am
now, the power gets taken away from labor if you have scale with only one or two players. bruce: i would not connect that specifically to technology. do with regulatory policy and natural forces. one of the misconceptions is that we are seeing technology substitute away from labor. tom: you don't buy that idea? bruce: the data is saying the opposite. job growth is slowing now but that is because demand has weakened. part of the week potential growth is that technology is not adding as much as it was 15 or 20 years ago. francine: how do you look at the inverted yield curve? that old question. bruce: a piece of this, we have to understand the structural changes on the long end of the curve that are not related to
6:38 am
the business cycle. if you look at the way the curve has been pricing the fed, the intensification of the inversion over the last few months, there is a change in sentiment that reflects markets believing there is a greater risk of recession. i do not think we will go into a recession, but it is right that we increased the tail risk and the fixed income markets are reflecting that. francine: anything else you would look out for a sharp downturn in the u.s. economy? you say it will slow down around 1% but nothing recessionary. is there a signal markets and economists should be paying attention to? bruce: i don't think there is any lead indicators. it is watching whether the drag working through the business economy on spending, how much this will change business behavior so credit conditions

as you mentioned, we don't know what is on the balance sheet. if that is the case, what are the regulators waiting for? jonathan: i think the issue for the regulators is this is systematic. one of the reasons the deal did not make sense as you put together a systemically important bank with another bank, we have new rules in europe, suddenly you have a more important bank. it's risk weightings, the amount of capital it would need would go up. experienced so about this, let me cut to the chase. as deutsche bank, and other banks, are they heading to a good bank/back bank -- bad bank structure where the regulators work it out? jonathan: the deutsche bank issue is not the same as it is
