admitting we've tried to play with the big boys for 20 years but we're just not good enough. you're referring to the investment banking expansion which began then and which for years actually reaped tremendous profits i mean the bank was a profit powerhouse and that was i think part of the problem and then a culture of bony bonuses came in people were earning huge amounts of money and people started also doing illegal and immoral business and that basically the 2 things huge bonuses eventually the bonuses stayed but the profits went and then a risky business came in but the but the bank in the knee in the in the in the in the shape of huge fines and so and now investment banking overall is going down and it's important other banks have leapt ahead so yes they played with the big boys for a while quite successfully but somehow got off track and missed the boat when it came to changing course. only bouts of both in frankfurt thank you very much.

a lot to do with the global expectations for easing from central banks it creates 104 year old and guess walked into the chair has a lot of yield at the moment but i think really the main issue is that it exists abates the turkish central banks problem with credibility we still don't really know if the central bank will set monetary policy to fight inflation and protect the credibility of the currency or if it's being sit by it one himself or by political pressures and it's a major problem for the currency what i mean in the markets what's what's the general spirit is do they say the turkish central bank still regarded as being properly independent. i would say the spirit is one of extreme skepticism over everything that the c.b.i. does and this creates a dilemma for the central bank because the macroeconomic fundamentals of turkey do allow the central bank to cut rates so they need to cut rates but the problem is they have a history of what looks like political interference they didn't raise rates in 2017

they suspended rip off earlier this year and it raises questions over every single rate cut they make markets are going to be asking is this justified by the fundamentals or is it politically influenced if they cut rates to foster they risk creating another layer of crisis of the sort that we saw earlier this year and considering how fragile global investor risk intimate is right now it creates a very dangerous situation for the lira. drunkard's market or noses of monex europe thank you. now it's a dispute that could affect global tech supply chains the route between japan and south korea the 2 countries cannot agree on compensation for forced labor during the 2nd world war tokyo has now decided to impose controls on exports destined for his neighboring country south korea. it's a controversial and painful issue for south koreans well talk you believe the 2
