1:22 pm
to grow your company though that is certainly something else so a little earlier i asked all financial correspondent conover who isn't in frankfurt how difficult or easy it is to find investors in germany right now. well it's become easier helen if you're really serious about what you are doing unlike the turn of the century you know after the tech bubble burst investors want to know much more precisely what your business plan is what your product looks like where you're at in terms of development of your company it helps as a founder if you have connections to the primus german middle you know the small and medium sized companies many of the machinery makers many of them market leaders on their small global markets many of the startups that succeed here in germany have strong ties to companies like this the traditional venture capital funds you
1:23 pm
know big funds that spend a lot of money on startups that amount of money has lessened here in germany the amount has come down to a bit more than two billion euros last year from three billion the year before kind of how to who isn't in a frankfurt for us thank you very much indeed. china's central bank is forecasting growth of seven percent in the second half of this year not despite widespread fears of an economic slowdown a strong lending figures in the month of september have boosted confidence in the world's second largest economy last month also saw a bigger than expected rise in the country's producer index fueled by a strong demand for will materialize on the banks all cost comes as communist party leaders prepare to meet on wednesday. turkey is in serious economic trouble constant diplomatic tussles with its neighbors and the dwindling legal certainty have unsettled investors now

a few days ago it became clear just how nervous the mood is on the market the u.s. stopped issuing these is following the arrest of a u.s. consulate worker in the country in the turkish stock index that's the borza fell over four and a half percent in light of that while the country's currency the turkish lira has already been on depression last year one thousand turkish lira would have thirty euro cents today they're worth twenty three euro cents now the took sort of this means that they a feeling the pinch the cost of living has become more expensive in september inflation was in the double digits it came in at eleven point two percent top of all of this turkey also has a high level of foreign debt so a little earlier i spoke to ed chen from the a photo institute's economic research in munich and i began by asking him how damaging president at one statement that the country doesn't need the e.u.
1:25 pm
could be for the turkish economy well this is a very strong political statement from an economic point of view it's difficult to understand it you know turkey is deeply integrated into the european economy and turkey benefited from this integration and any step back and break down would basically put the economy even stronger under pressure and that these type of political statements are not very helpful it in this times because political uncertainty is the core problem of the country as you can see well it certainly is but turkey nevertheless has posted robust growth have seen the level of five percent so is potentially the impact for example of the failed coup over. well you know robust growth it's true but it's a temporary growth which has been stimulated by if you want to artificial support by the government public spending and also the competent capital markets reactions
1:26 pm
with a weak leader over the last months however the core problem is a political uncertainty and there is and the government has not the possibility to permanently pump in money into into the system inflation is increasing the central bank has to react sooner or later this leeway for political for political intervention support will decrease and the conditions don't look good at the moment now you've mentioned some of those moves to try and boost investment we understand the president alderaan is encouraging businesses to all right credit infrastructure projects without interest for example the site at his discretion what will that mean for the country. well you know there understandable that there is a desire for foreign direct investment because what you see in the statistics is the long term investment new investment is no longer taking place there is a strong decrease in foreign direct investment inflows and the reason is again
1:27 pm
political uncertainty and you can declare on the one side that you are going to make this reform sense and support foreigners but then on the other hand making the strong statement that turkey does not need europe or this visa confrontation with the usa it's simply not creating confidence confidence creation is the core issue which turkey should follow at the chain from the if i were institute for economic research in you nick thank you for your analysis thank you. and you say with the latest from the wild business for more find us on facebook follow us on twitter at the school business on there as well and then to see how free is my handle more business news in the next hour right now here's a look at the world markets by now.
