let's do business it's been a bad week for investors on pakistan's stock exchange the stock market has marked its 4th straight day of falls thanks to the tense political situation between pakistan and india across the stock exchange plummeting 2000 points to its lowest in 5 years on tuesday india passed a controversial bill stripping the state of jamul kashmir and dividing the region into 2 territories one of which will be governed directly by delhi. the flare up in tensions as sparked a mass flight of migrant workers india has shut down mobile networks across the region and banned public gatherings. a train platform in germany filled with laborers eager to leave a tense situation many say they were told to leave their jobs some report never receiving their salaries the challenge now scraping together enough to get out. we've come from the kashmir valley we don't have any money and my wallet is empty we don't know how we'll travel further we have no money and then you are. kashmir

is a magnet for migrant laborers they travel from india's far flung provinces looking for work in my scenario carpentry and agriculture instability is a given here kashmir is claimed by both india and pakistan when tensions flare migrants pack up for india itself the region is economically negligible accounting for less than a percent of g.d.p. . a bigger concern is that escalating tensions out of kashmir could ripple through the indian economy and. investors have been restrained so far a slight currency dip really of this week might just as well be from global trade issues as the situation in kashmir for workers however the latest tensions are already heating their pocketbooks. ashutosh bana joins us from our studios in bonn ashutosh it's said that kashmir special status has deterred growth according

to india is that a fair assessment of the situation well ben yes and no yet i mean it's certainly not the worst state as far as growth is concerned in fact it's the performs better than many states in india as far as human development indicate is a concern even better than prime minister in that in moody's home state of gujarat but then on the other side there are a lot of problems in the economy there is rampant unemployment underemployment there's hardly any private investment because of this trick to land ownership as far as part of this special status that it had earlier and also because there is hardly any export from that region so. it has suffered a little because all for a distinction to land ownership. but it's also because of the security situation in the area that what's all this mean now will investments flow into the region.

well that's a 1000000 dollar question if not questions what billions indian government certainly believes so prime minister sees a question he returned to its former glory of popular tourist destination a place very many bollywood movies were shot so he sees it returning to that past glory but it's going to be difficult because the security situation is going it's not going to improve anytime soon the government there are plans of holding an investment investors a conference there but it remains to be seen how many will take part take part in it and how many how many will eventually investor because as i said security remains a major issue i spoke to many real estate companies they say that the market is going to improve in the future but for now it's going to be wait and watch because they want to see how the situation improves as far as security concerns and also the fact that how the locals are going to react to these developments we do not as

yet because kashmir has been in lockdown as of now briefly what about the impact of pakistan suspending trade with india. that's minimal there's hardly been trade between the 2 countries some $2500000000.00 and that's just less than point one percent of india's total trade globally so that's not going to be a huge impact as far as economy economy is concerned but yes politically it's a blow because trade has been a major confidence building measure between the 2 countries as just one day from our studios involved thank you very much. now there are some of the other business stories making news tokyo stock market climbed half a percent as data showed the economy growing faster than analysts predicted g.d.p. in the world's 3rd biggest economy grew 1.8 percent in the 2nd quarter economists say the boost came from shoppers buying big ticket items before
