colfer welcome to the program. the world economy is facing its weakest growth since the 2008 financial crisis that's according to the international monetary fund which has cut its outlook for the world economy the main reason for the slowdown international trade disputes the i.m.f. is now predicting 3 percent growth for this year down from its previous forecast of 3.2 percent the slowest slowest expansion in about a decade the i.m.f. slashed its growth estimates for the eurozone to 1.2 percent dragged down by export powerhouse germany the 2 biggest economies the u.s. and china also losing steam the united states can expect a modest 2.4 percent gain and 29000 but that's still down half a percent from a year earlier and china's growth is projected to dip to 6 point one percent this year and 5.8 percent next year these would be the slowest rates since $990.00 or

correspondent pablo showing joins me from washington now pablo the i.m.f. says the global economy is growing at its slowest pace since the financial crisis and it's urging leaders to deescalate tensions but does there this phase one trade deal between washington and china serve as a good indicator that leaders are listening. hi christopher well yeah of course the stuff forget that in there in the past few days of course there has been this we'll say cooling in there in tensions between the united states and china they're calling it you know somewhat of a cease fire or a truce of some sorts but what we saw today here was you know the i.m.f. chief economist woods was very cautious says she said that what we need to do is wait and see exactly what comes out of it but what was a good sign is that of course today you know

a round of tire of against china from the united states were meant to kick in and they of course were suspended the next question is what will happen with the next trend of tire of which are meant to kick in in december but of course in november there is the possibility of a meeting between president trump and his chinese counterpart xi jinping and what comes out of that will they sign an agreement will they put an end to this ongoing trade dispute remains unknown and what it appears is that economists are very cautious of what's going to happen in the coma in the coming weeks and months and pablo we talk about a growth of 3 percent for the world economy how does that translate into everyday life for you and me. well for you and me of course at the moment it appears that consumer confidence is still quite good at despite this slowdown that we're seeing of course let's not forget that interest rates are quite low and you know if you look at countries that are going to see a slowdown one of being germany and you know it consumer confidence still remains

pretty good but once again the i.m.f. is remaining quite cautious and they're going to keep an eye on what happens i'm whether consumer confidence is affected and if it is is there going to be a slowdown as well in economies is there going to be a slowdown in perhaps growth within a connelly's on job growth which of course would have a negative impact on that consumer confidence pablo folios reporting from washington bob thank you. turkey's invasion in northern syria has shocked leaders in europe and the united states from across the political spectrum now u.s. vice president mike pence and the secretary of state my pompei all to travel to turkey on wednesday trying to broker a ceasefire the business world is already reacting with fox wagon putting its plans for a new factory in the port city of izmir on hold leaving want to have 1000000000 euros of investment and thousands of jobs at risk to turkish economy has been begun to

recover from a less crisis and now even this slight improvement isn't a threat folks are going to spawn decision on a new plant prior to the offensive in syria it was virtually a done deal and the united states is also making it clear to turkey that it will hit the economy hard to force president to turn back. as we've warned all along our desire is not to shut down the turkish economy our desire is to see appropriate response the sanctions will be very severe on the turkish economy we will continue to ramp up the sanctions at present sanctions will only affect individuals but should the us follow up on those threats the turkish economy could be in a tight spot the mirror which tumbled nearly 30 percent in last year's currency crisis has fallen nearly 5 percent so far this month despite state banks pouring

billions into markets to prop it up. for more let's face it over the whole say lou is that out on wall street hostilities how much would u.s. sanctions it the turkish economy. well pretty pretty much because analysts here on wall street are already saying that the lead will likely fall sharply against a dollar is spatially if sanctions were extended to turkey's project banking sector but even in the absence of more sanctions that will probably continue under pressure at the global economies and father let's not forget either that in turkey short term unsterile debts are large and its growth as general financing requirements as a share of our currency reserves is among the highest in the emerging world and also leads we've heard that volkswagen is putting plans for a factory in turkey on hold how have companies in the us been responding to this
