holding up the u.s. stimulus deal. nancy pelosi and steven mnuchin remain optimistic. with themeeting later central bank expected to increase its bond buying program. the chief economist of the bank of singapore joins us. these latest filaments are on facebook, for context, bloomberg editorial in the last itple hours joined us, boils down to the following two sentences. notu.s. government has contemplated breaking up a company since the justice department sued microsoft in 1998. i have long believed there is no other way to curb facebook's monopoly power. it is one of the few issues republicans and democrats agree on. what is your reaction? >> it's clear the financial markets are very concerned about -- as you said, the reaction was
11:12 pm
very strong. because we have not had such action for two decades now, as you mentioned. at that time you had a significant -- microsoft. uncertainty has increased again at a time where we don't have any more progress between the .u.k. and e.u. and we don't have progress on fiscal stimulus. financial markets have reacted pretty sharply to these three developments. >> so, what does this mean in terms of investment strategy? the markets live team is asking the question, does this antitrust suit signal intern, getting negative on risk assets, isconfined to tech stocks, it assigned to turn bullish on value shares? what do you take away from this?
11:13 pm
>> sure. i think the key concern now is not so much the news about facebook but much more the news about what happens between e.u. and the u.k., because the facebook news will take time to be resolved. the e.u. and the u.k. have set a deadline for sunday to come up with an agreement. don'tate don -- if they that increases the risk of a no deal exit by the end of the year. while markets are focus on what is happening in the u.s. on the technology side, i'm more concerned that actually what is happening in europe between the e.u. in the u.k. will become more problematic for investors in the next few days. >> we'll get to the u.k. shortly of detail.bit what about the stimulus package? if it doesn't get passed before year end, is there going to be a
11:14 pm
reassessment necessary on behalf of investors? >> yes, i think -- the expectation is we will get a deal passed in the next few weeks. so, if nothing is passed at a time where coronavirus is still clearly -- worsening in the u.s., it will cause investors to become more cautious. but i think the prospects of a deal do seem likely between republicans and the senate and democrats in congress. it's the least of the three risks we are facing at the moment by investors to be concerned about. >> in terms of the longer-term view, your research argues that investors might be under mr. -- underestimating how long fed is willing to stay low for. we will see the fed stay the course for a considerable amount of time. dollar weakness is going to see a bit more.
11:15 pm
me through that thinking. >> the fed having shifted towards a splash or inflation target, it's a momentous change by the fed. it signals they will not raise interest rates until they feel inflation is averaging around their 2% goal. it hasn't for the past decade. the fed will want to make sure inflation is up 2% and remains above 2% the next few years. now, if that is the case it means the fed will likely not raise interest rates until 2024 or 2025. that provides a good environment for risk assets in the longer-term, despite the short-term risks we have been discussing. that. thanks for we will continue our conversation stay on the line. with more details. this is bloomberg.

brexit negotiators have until sunday after talks over dinner between boris johnson and the european commission president ended without a breakthrough. leaders agreed that park should continue. major differences remain. chief economist at the bank of singapore is our guest. the two sides appears to be quite far apart. it is hard to envision them coming closer together in such a short amount of time. what is your best case scenario? >> yes. the two sides are surprisingly fall apart -- far apart still. they should come to an agreement
11:19 pm
by sunday it is in both sides interest. can't come to an agreement in the next few days. you begin to see financial markets react to that. so, what can we see if we can kind of drill down to what gets reflected in u.k. assets? cable. nab talks about a scenario where there is a deal and it could go up to 137. are you saying it is likely not going to happen. so, how does that get priced? >> sure, yeah. so, our best case is we do get a deal. i would expect them to -- c urrent levels of 135 on a deal. but a deal is largely expected by market. if the rising risks of a no deal materialized by sunday, then they will weaken sharply.
11:20 pm
i would spec the dollar go to i lower 120 to 130 range -- would expect the pound to go to the lower 120 and 130 range. yousef: how is the brexit conversation going to figure out the ecb deliberations at the press conference? arguably, it is a big uncertainty and it will weigh on sentiment. do you expect that to be one of the things to come up? >> yes. the ecb will have to take a look at it. unfortunately division that the e.u. and the u.k. will make will be on sunday. we still expect the e.u. to expand their quantitative easing when they meet later today. we're expecting the ecb's pandemic emergency purchase program will be expanded by 500 billion euros. that is priced by the market. the ecb, they will probably
11:21 pm
signal they will take away -- regarding what happens between the e.u. in the u.k., and they will react appropriately. if it does begin to affect their outlook. are you seeing some green shoots and economic momentum or even elsewhere as you going to 2021? you have looked at the data. where would you say the market is underestimating the strength of the economic recovery? >> we're seeing that clearly in china. the data is stronger particularly in the export numbers, 20% year on year. is seeing a very clear recovery from the pandemic. if we switch to europe and the u.s. as well, we forget the trade deal to the u.k. in the e.u. at the same time we get fiscal stimulus and the u.s., that would help growth rebound. we think -- been very
11:22 pm
constructive on the outlook for 2021. it is the near-term risks that we discussed that we have to get through now. yousef: thank you for making the time. appreciate your view. s. the chief economist at the bank of singapore. now, economists have concern that a population exodus could cripple economy is heavily dependent on foreign workers. now a prominent voice is saying the situation might not be as bad as expected. we have details. massivevermore called a outflow of people from the region in april. what has evolved since? >> he made a big splash with this report couldit'. nine timesited by us and countless other times across the internet because it was one of the only projections
11:23 pm
about how populations would change in this region because of the coronavirus. uaeredicted that the would see that 10% of the country leave -- that 10% of the country would leave. now he's saying in a brand-new report that is not likely to happen, at lease not to the extent he expected. has lost 2% of its population. ae likely to use that 10% figure, more or less. this is interesting because it suggests we are not going to see the massive hit from a decline in consumer spending particularly, because people will stick around, they will still generate economic activity perhaps because the virus has been under control. perhaps because the measures that governments have come in with in order to preserve their
11:24 pm
population, it's going to take a few years for the population in saudi arabia, qatar and bahrain to recovery but kuwait and oman, those prediction are higher than expected particular inchoate. -- in kuwait. he says though economy -- those economy may have turned a corner against their ex-pat population. yousef: shifting to the regional headlines. is uae said that a vaccine 86% effective. how does this bode for a vaccine in the near future? >> very well. the trials tested 31,000 participants. so now this is going to go out to the broader population. and abu dhabi saying they could restore economic tourism as well as cultural activities in as little as two weeks. just two weeks u ntil things are
11:25 pm
much more back to normal there. this bodes well for the sinopharm vaccine on a global sale. this is the first vote of confidence which could be easier to distribute than the pfizer and moderna vaccines because you can stored at normal temperatures. and, therefore distributed more widely. is based on an inactivated virus. will people take this vaccine. that 86% number less effective than the pfizer and moderna vaccines. you always have these linger ing fear that perhaps there is something up with the chinese data, if you are westerner. folksing this vaccine to still a hurdle. yousef: anybody watching political developments in israel ahead of a crucial deadline later this month.
11:26 pm
there could be a new wildcard and play. >> that's right. atting arr -- gideon sarr, former cabinet minister in the likud party. he is starting his own party called new hope. this throws a wrench in the political situation. benjamin netanyahu and his coalition partner, they've very much been feuding over the budget. they have a december 20 through deadline to pass a budget for the 2020 years. 2021 budget as well. new party comes in is a question mark. at the same time, a new date for new parliamentary elections. couple more readings and a couple more votes. but that would be set for march 16. yousef: thank you for that.

you started thinking about the strategy of deutsche bank? >> well, first of a come i think both have shown how resilient and strong they are in the markets. they have done everything to mitigate the additional headwind in particular from interest rate environment. the corporate bank has now charged and passed on negative interest rates more than 70 billion deposits. far more than we anticipated lasher. a-- last year. the underlying growth that we have seen in 2020, if we continue to do that in 21, and 2 2 we will achieve our revenue targets. the headwinds from the interest rate will actually soften in 21 and 22 and in the following year. yousef: that was the deutsche bank ceo speaking to our bloomberg reporter. read headlines. attempts by indonesia's
