lowest point in almost three decades fuelling concerns over a knock on effect on the global economy and prompting questions as to what is behind the slowdown and whether the rest of the world should be worried. once upon a time chinese economic performance wasn't global news those days are long gone the country's growth rate now act as an indicator for the health of the entire world's economy no wonder then that dissonance meant it was so hot the anticipation. according to preliminary estimates the total value of china's g.d.p. was ninety point zero three trillion you won the mind to to a six point six percent year on increase that figure outstripped the anticipated goal. six point six per cent it may not sign to shoppy but take a look at this

a decade ago chinese economic growth was hovering around ten percent in the year since then it's slowed steadily and what's worrying investors is that no one knows when that decline is going to end the reasons for china's slowdown are manifold domestic issues like a slowing property market are putting pressure on growth. but even more worrying to the global markets is the continuing trade dispute with the united states the two countries are currently holding a ninety day truce which their leaders agree to after dining together at the g. twenty summit in argentina for their trade talks are set to take place next week but after months of volatility a resolution may still be far off a further escalation could have a dramatic impact on the chinese economy potentially setting in motion a decline in the rest of the world too. so let's bring in our financial correspondent. by singapore a new figures there charges growth is the slowest since nearly thirty years how

much alarm is there in asian markets. well look at market performance in asia today get hard you'll be hard pressed to find any sign of along with most numbers on the up but that doesn't mean that isn't concerned obviously the u.s. street where the trade will that the u.s. has sickened at all on china's growth china post its weakest number for q four in the last decade a six point four percent. number there is another deep rooted cause behind this low pace of growth and that is this is china's really chronic debt pile that's in plaguing them for years and investors are not entirely convinced that these fresh stimulus measures that were announced last week including tax cuts as well as using bank lending policies are going to help in the near term. in singapore thank you very much. and there just mentioned the concern about chinese debt and

exactly that is another issue weighing on investors' minds right now the extraordinary high level of debt across major economies a new study just out from the bill back bank and the hamburg institute of international economic warns a new economic crisis could be looming and many countries are carrying dangerous levels of debt let's have a closer look at that among industrialized nations japan has the attack in terms of debt it ballooned to more than two hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. up from one hundred eighty three percent just ten years ago it's not for the strong if not for its strong export economy markets would be punishing japan much more the us second has also climbed to around one hundred six percent of g.d.p. there's been a fifty percent fifty percent hike from two thousand and eight levels rising interest rates will only make servicing that debt more expensive and donald trump

has lowered taxes and last but at least the eurozone isn't exempt its high debt levels would stand out even more if its biggest economy germany hadn't gotten its house in better all over the last few years southern european countries have much higher debt liabilities than germany so let's bring in having furcal is a senior economist and director at the hamburg institute of international economics who coauthored this study you're warning about these high levels of debt what would happen and if it is it indeed thinkable that any of these economies can default. i think some of this problem has been overlooked so far by markets but we have seen that in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in two thousand and seven and eight sovereign debts ratios has increased by almost thirty percentage points to over one hundred percent of g.d.p. so now we face a situation where a dad overhang is combined with monetary policy operating at the lower zero bone

but now we are at the beginning of a global economic downturn and interest rate increases so this problem can increasingly become a huge problem for the global economy so and in a situation we have with a lot of uncertainty on the markets this could easily lead to kind of contagion among other major economies really you believe that we're actually standing at the brink of the next big economic crisis. well not yet but in the medium term i think so because this uncertainty of these sovereign debt ratios are are compromised with. national governments that are well rely on on very short term oriented monetary and economic policy. so trust is undermined by all of these governments so the combination of all these

factors that the consolation is likely to trigger not a debt crisis but probably a banking crisis or currency crisis and there is a strong internet connection between all these kind of crisis so. well we should have a closer look on that levels and well. take care of it because we on the downturn of the global economy and in the economy as director of the. of international economics thank you very much. the president of it was because ton as in a berlin today president shot mr yes wants to boost time with but once known for its repressive regime it is now opening its doors to the rest of the world and introducing liberal reforms a construction boom has hit the city of smart and not everybody's happy about it.

tradition for progress past a future in some icon where walls look like the backdrop of a beautiful fairy tale this question is more topical than ever. like almost no other city in the past some good space samarkand is known for its ancient architecture and to the survival of tradition but could this fairy tale of a thousand and one nights be over if more skyscrapers are built here. authorities have been building in some a cunt for the past year. more than apartments are desperately needed as well as luxury shops and large hotels. third largest city is preparing itself for large numbers of tourists from around the world but they are building full calls as well an entire district made up of sixteen storey buildings with modern living made in a speck of. this man is giving more than some of its new form.

beautiful new tourist world called some account city critics of the ambitious project fear the boundaries of the old tom will be arbitrarily changed according to the investors needs. that's what happened when it was back and was part of the soviet union. in the eighty's a lot of industrial companies were built in the city center many old buildings had to be removed twenty five percent off the center was demolished and that's why i see the development of the city differently so-called buffer zones should not be used for high rise buildings they must not destroy the silhouette of the city. the absolute. i can say with absolute certainty that at least according to our general plan. will be rebuilt like a single city monument so that everyone who comes here feels like they're in an open air museum. open air museum with plenty of space to live hopefully
