little dirt that would come from the kashmir valley we don't have any money and my wallet is empty we don't know how will travel further we have no money and the money out at. kashmir is a magnet for migrant laborers they travel from india's far flung provinces looking for work in masonry 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 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. as it has been

a 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 then yes and no yet i mean it's certainly not the worst state as far as good is concerned in fact is that performs better than many states in india as for human development indicators that 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 and also because there is hardly any export from that region so certainly it has suffered a little because all for

they want to see how the situation improves as far as security concerns and also the fact that how they look with are going to react to these developments we do know 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 because 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 seniors involved thank you very much. now there's all of the other business stories making news tokyo's stock market climbed half a percent as data showed the economy growing faster than analysts predicted g.d.p.
