hence the people. stealing border. guard cars. the start of an era that defines overmanaged. 19 said the big easy to dismiss 8 since december 23rd. the goal is to trillion dollars saudi aramco make this stock markets deb you want a record breaking initial public offering that gave the company evaluation of $1.00 trillion dollars will the 2 trillion mark be reached today. also coming up it's a moment of crisis for global trade as u.s. pressure hollowed out the world trade organizations top court who is going to settle trade disputes from now on. and spain has

a huge problem with drought the o.e.c.d. says to few cation it's already widespread as madrid fails to implement effective laws against climate change. i want to johnson this is d.w. business live from berlin well come saudi arabia state oil company saudi aramco officially begins trading on its domestic stock markets today in its i.p.o. last week over 25000000000 dollars giving it a valuation of $1.00 trillion dollars that comfortably makes it the most valuable publicly listed company in the world however that is not enough for the kingdom which remains determined for the company to top the 2 trillion mark to that into the country's royal family has been encouraging state investment funds to buy up stock to further drive up the value. now for more let's cross over now to financial markets correspondent to chelsea delayed h.l.c.

how likely is it that they will reach the 2 trillion dollar mark today there's going to be a lot working and because favre over the next couple of trading days the stock needs to rise about 18 percent to from the i.p.o. price to reach 2 trillion that's not a huge amount if you consider how much stocks tend to rise during i.p.o. periods but there is going to be a cap on how much it can rise in a single session so it likely will not be able to rise to 2 trillion today but over the next couple of weeks ago it's going to be for one pressuring a lot of local investors a lot of wealthy families to be buying up the stock so that could certainly drive it higher there's also going to be an influx of investment as the saudi aramco is included in the m.s.c.i. emerging market benchmark index so that's also going to be helping them and then potentially oil prices that if oil continues to rise that could also drive up the

stock as well know that the list i mean there's been so much hype going on for so many months now why is it so hard going. right on paper this is the best i.p.o. ever the biggest publicly traded company in the world starting today but in many ways this was a disappointment to the saudi government they had hoped to attract a lot of international investors they didn't really end up doing that and total about 22 percent of the shares sold went to international investors there was a lot of concern among institutional investors among hedge funds about the governance system within saudi about oil prices there was a lot of a lot of hesitant to buy into this i.p.o. and that's certainly been a bit of a frustration for the saudi government all right chelsey don't don't go away just yet because i have another topic i'd like to discuss you with in just a moment. w

t o and let the big and powerful in particular the united states decide how global trade should be handled and that is basically what lies in store now for the world trade organization a success if u.s. administrations have blocked the appointment of new judges to the bodies appeals court critics feel work straight is now facing the law of the jungle the world trade organization is facing its biggest crisis since it was founded a quarter century ago director general robert to survey 2 had hoped to resolve the impasse but instead the organization can no longer deliver rulings on trade disputes because washington has blocked the appointment of new judges to its appellate panel the panel was made up of 7 judges for whose terms of expired have not been replaced because the united states has blocked the naming of their replacements 2 of the remaining 3 are due to leave on wednesday with only one

member remaining the court will no longer be able to issue rulings. as a result there will no longer be an independent body to intervene in trade conflicts the stronger side will probably prevail roberto azevedo wants to turn the crisis into an opportunity on tuesday he insisted the w t o had to be reformed without this sense of crisis there would probably be an accommodation and members would not be so very inclined to change things and to change the system make the system more responsive to the changes that we see out there now one example is the treatment of china which is given preferential status as a developing country many analysts not just the us say that's wrong. the dealings between the w t o and china sometimes still affected by routes that came into place

a while ago when china was a smaller country the u.s. basically warns china to play by different rules now international trade has to cope with even more uncertainty instead of the w t o playing the role of empire washington will be able to get its way. right back to chelsea delaney at the front that stock exchange chelsea what's a paralyzed w t o appeals courts mean for terrorists. well the fear is that this is going to lead to an increase in tariffs and sentients between countries if there isn't a moderator at the or at the at that at the international level that this could really turn into an every man for himself situation with. countries just responding to any sort of protectionism or trade threats with terrorists because there's no

real legal. penalty for doing that there are also a lot of cases still pending in front of this appellate court including cases by the by the e.u. and against the trial. aluminum and still tariffs so there's a lot of questions about what's going to what's going to happen at those as well interesting times ahead for global trade no doubt chelsea delaney triumph and thank you so much i mean while the united states makes rico and canada has signed a deal finalizing the new trade agreement after more than 2 years of negotiations paving the way to ratification the u.s. embassy a agreement replaces the clinton era nafta deal which president trump when he took office blaming it for the loss of millions of u.s. jobs agreement was close to a year ago but democrats controlling the u.s. house of representatives insisted on major changes to a neighbor and environmental enforcement before ratifying the deal. and on to some
