twenty two now there's also this means a change of direction from focusing on its right healing out to its autonomy as a vehicle technology some analysts see this as a wise choice especially when the right heavy emphasis is really a cut throat and it's dependent on as you've mentioned before just not promotions as well as discounts and in southeast asia you have grep that's actually backed by big sovereign wealth funds our fellow singapore ian to mustique and then in indonesia you go to indonesia you see gold jack which is a key find that by ten cent which is also a very large investment company in china so these are the things that perhaps has thought that it might want to make out its losses short of before it burns to more money monica of course it will be kept kept a stake of twenty one point five percent in grap which is a huge huge huge company in the region doesn't mean that it will but wants to keep the back door open to the asian market well in a way yes i mean keeping

if you can what would his replacement do what does he present what will he present our president sisi can do it all. we want someone who we will be stable with. for. the support for el-sisi is obvious but have the egyptian people really done better during his administration unemployment has gone down slightly but it's still high at almost twelve percent and egypt's deficit has widened now at over one hundred percent of g.d.p. . a loan from the international monetary fund should help the economy twelve billion dollars six billion of which have already been distributed but the country needs to set a strict austerity plan in motion the government has to float the currency on international markets cancel energy subsidies and introduce a sales tax of fourteen percent. that's cause prices to rise and the egyptian

pound has lost value inflation has increased under el-sisi last year up a daunting twenty five percent. it's hard times for businesses. and yet they still support the president's plans. of course i will vote for president sisi vote for him for the stability of the country. we're living in stability. we have to keep living and stability. on the month that with. it's unsure whether all the gyptian see it that way after all a third of the population still lives below the poverty line. the indian government pulled all fife. hundred and one thousand rupee notes from circulation two years ago to curtail the illicit economy but that resulted in a catastrophic cash shortage eventually the crisis east when enough new notes were

you give me for myself and question for thank you welcome that it was a free sample is all i get from my brand new one rupee would. normally indians tend to be very proud of their currency the rupee in old delhi you can even buy garlands made of banknotes wedding gifts even the old one rupee note gets on it here but only for display there's not been a single printed for the last twenty years. until this new series. but even though the recently introduced new bills are more colorful in the old ones the garment makers on happy with them. did you have an idea of the look the old fifty looks much better than the new one but those near bills are no good they look like fakes like toy money. india's central bank founded during the british colonial era is responsible for issuing the country's new cash it wouldn't

comment on the new one rupee note though something that has a surprising explanation. currency collects a capital doctor sheds light on the mystery technically the new one rupee note counts as a coin so it's used by the government and not the central bank and the only reason for the new singles is the one hundredth anniversary of rupee banknotes. even if you can't buy anything for it for us collectors the joy that there is a new one rupee note is beyond words. and it might pay to hold on to the new single the very first rupee note from one thousand nine hundred seventeen with a portrait of britain's king george the fifth sells for up to three hundred euros nowadays. that's. going to.
