speak to the lender's chief economist. and a new border agent are bracing for and no deal brag that we show you how they're getting ready. to welcome to the business i'm on in berlin today many in germany are looking to china wondering how they did it because while the capital berlin is still waiting for its new airport to get off the ground a full 13 years after construction started and 8 years behind schedule china's president xi jinping officially launched a glitzy new mega airport around 50 kilometers south of the capital beijing today and it took just 4 years and outward demonstration of might amid a difficult time within the country. shaped like a giant starfish beijing dossing international airport took just 4 years to build and cost $60000000000.00 euros it's already the world's largest single airport terminal building it's going to be one of the busiest president xi jinping cut the

ribbon on the boss terminal the launch comes just ahead of the 70th anniversary of the people's republic of china a mass of days in the ruling communist party's calendar or simple. i hereby declare beijing dossing international airports officially open. the airport is a powerful symbol of china's rise putting on a show of strength is important right now china is seeing its biggest economic slowdown in decades because of a better trade spot with the u.s. designed by the late iraqi born architects deed the new airport will it 1st cater for 45000000 passengers by 2025 that will rise to 72000000 making it one of the world's most popular hubs. beijing dossing international airport is still smaller than the world's busiest airport in atlanta with 107000000 passengers followed by the existing beijing international airport with 101000000 and dubai international with 89000000 passengers passing through every year. it's the

2nd major airport built in beijing in just over a decade beijing international is already full while environmental activists elsewhere ask questions about the future of mosse air transition china's aviation future is just taking off. the china u.s. trade war has dampened economic prospects in asia with the development bank downgrading its growth forecasts for this year and next the bank scaled down its predictions from 5.7 to 5.4 percent this year and down a fraction next year to the woomera forecasts reflect clear fears that the us china trade found off could escalate or even spread to other countries in the region for more i'm joined by the u.k. sawada chief economist of the asian development bank mr thought it welcome now 5.4 percent growth in the region i feel really good by most measures but the euro zone

in contrast for example is projected to post just 1 point one percent growth this year how worried should governments really be. so actually as you said the 5.4 percent growth is quite robust if we exclude already high income in asia korea china hopefully china and singapore growth rate overall growth as high as 6 percent and 6 percent if economy continues at this growth over 12 years it will make a size will be doubled so i think 6 percent or even 5.4 percent is still very robust so in that sense. overall it was meant for the government as a center bank also it is being going very well the having said this in addition to the truck that the u.s. china trade tension over all groups global growth slowdown and also

done was to make sound same conduct production cycle these are the main element why we don't want to buy slower growth forecasts. a lot of downside risk for them but what are some of the challenges that you see for the region in terms of guarding itself against the effects of these ongoing trade tensions so going. there are multiple channels affecting asia economies in addition to indirect effects china is a gross exposed will generate a negative impact on. other asian countries grows through some break chain group about 10 network but the same time exports rodin with china to the u.s. will create the opportunity through shifting export from china to other asian economies so you're at the top these opportunities i think it's very important to strengthen capacity of production expansion other also absorptive capacity of 40

direct investment. now you mention the opportunities that china's trade issues have for other countries within the region where that able to move into the space and export more does that mean then that the trade war does produce some winners. not necessarily i think overall. chinese or grocery they've been to china is directly affected however. across the board i think overall asia call me dumb potentially again through this shifting export from china to other asian economies so this is a typical country gaining a lot from trade shifting and also did come out like a bomber there seems to be gaining by expanding the government projects on the perot exports to the u.s. market thank you very much iasi u.k.
