vladimir putin later today to discuss the matter as many leaders have condemned the turkish incursion a growing number of companies are now reassessing their ties with the country near the city of izmir on the turkish aegean coast folks in was planning to build a new factory an investment of around 1000000000 euros the plans have progressed quite far but now they've been put on hold the german automaker says it will not invest in a country waging war. a similar response comes from b.s.f. the chemicals giant has 3 production sites in turkey now the word from its german headquarters is that it will make no more investments in turkey for the time being as long as the incursion in syria continues the reactions from the 2 big investors come at a difficult time for turkey the economy is in crisis. g.d.p. growth declined from 7.4 percent in 2017 to only 2.6 percent and $28000.00 in the
12:33 pm
wake of the currency crisis and this year looks to be heading into the red analysts expect g.d.p. to contract by at least 2.3 percent this year. the syria conflict could intensify that downward trend not only are investors running away but turkey could face punishing economic sanctions from the u.s. and other countries but for more let's bring in at all yochanan he's an economics professor at the university of applied sciences and constance welcome to the program at all fucks like a house but plans for a flat in turkey on hold was that the right move. well many observers were already surprised by the decision of folks who are going to invest in turkey because the political and economic uncertainty in the country has been so high over the last years and at the it from this point of view it is a real chance for turkey but given what we have seen the last 10 days and massive
12:34 pm
acceleration because of this military conflict but also the economic conditions are hit by this uncertainty it is absolutely understandable that a private company largely private company is not going to invest long term investment in such an environment now despite this ceasefire that the u.s. helped to broker economic sanctions are not off the table. the question is though the right approach it seems that prison at one isn't affected in any way by it his mood didn't really seem to change. i think it's very important here to emphasize the discussion what i have observed is a lot about the president and the government but it is important to emphasize that there is a massive dissatisfaction within the country within turkish citizens how the syrian crisis is handled also by european countries 3600000 refugees are
12:35 pm
living in turkey 400000 children syrian children have been born there and a core question which has not been on service what will happen with this people over the next 1015 years in light of the fact that the turkish average household basically has problems to pay the school costs for children so that in this environment in increasing economic pressure of course creates a reluctance for international investors but i have my doubts that this is going to solve the problems for europe and for turkey and for the whole region so we need a better handling of the european union also of the situation and sanctions i know i'm not going to comment on the military issues but sanctions will worsen the economic situation and this will basically increase dissatisfaction in the turkish pop a population and a really what are the demands by the public. they want to that the syrians are

going to leave the country. with a time plan there's no must we need the perspective we're just people are going to stay you would in x. 10 years i mentioned almost half a 1000000 children i mean you have the financial problems of the citizens in turkey why should turkey just accept europe's position is we pay turkey the money everything is fine but this was the wrong i think. expectation of the european policy turkish people do not accept this long term threat that you just to keep people in turkey and receiving money from europe that is not the solution from turkey's perspective and professor of economics at the university of applied science and constance at all thank you so much and returning to our top story financial markets response to the latest developments surrounding. chelsea delaney at the frankfurt stock exchange british follow men has put of a final decision on breaks to begin but investors seem to be optimistic that an

unregulated messy divorce is not an option any more why is. investors are seeing saturday's decision as a setback not necessarily the the end of this discussion so we've seen a lot of banks come out today a lot of analysts are sort of lowering their expectations for a note that goldman sachs now expects only a 5 percent chance of. that's down from 10 percent so a lot of investors are optimistic because they see that this vote on saturday was very close and a lot of a lot of lawmakers were saying there were only voting to delay the vote because we need more time to sort of sift through this $500.00 page document so the u.k. is expected to host another vote this week and a lot of lawmakers are saying they would vote for it now so there is a chance that they could pass at this week now assuming that parliament will eventually approve boris johnson this deal will bricks and then finally happen. that's a great question so there are
12:38 pm
a lot of potential obstacles even after parliament approves this 'd so one big question today is is the house of commons even going to allow a vote there is a potential that they will say no to that which would delay it even further but there's also a question of what sort of amendments are going to get added to this as it goes through the legislative process there are many more steps that have to be taken going forward so it's definitely not the end of the discussion here the w correspondent shows a delay any other friend for stock exchange chelsea thank you not palm oil has been linked to rain forest destruction and climate change that's led the e.u. to phase out imports of palm oil for biofuel raising concerns a malaysian after all the country is the world's 2nd largest producer and exporter of paul moore the government now says it's taken efforts to accelerate its model of sustainable development but take a lead for the local pol all industry. every single fruit is valuable
