a comparison. to economies where china hong kong taiwan and canada and singapore their economic growth that was affected by poles in retail sales and trouble was people sought to avoid through fear of contagion but they all saw they also saw. sharply up toward what we learned by down even but it was a relatively short lived the outbreak resulted in hundreds all that and a loss of at least $40000000000.00 of global economy causality as markets took a hit on tuesday on the news of the coronavirus spreading give us your wrap of wednesday's trading session. wall street here did not panic about the coronavirus about erling stocks. there are several factors had to take into account not only the risk of an epidemic outbreak but also more news on boeing $737.00 mags and some companies releasing quarterly earnings so why wall street that closed with

sino here and wall street close to louise darrow on wall street thank you. to davos now the european commission president or the off on the line told participants of the world economic forum that the e.u. is examining a carbon tax on imports from the lion said there would be no point in reducing greenhouse gas emissions at home while importing emissions from abroad that could mean a carbon boarder tax on high emissions goods from outside the block and the so-called green deal the u.s. promised to drop carbon emissions to 0 by 2050 and plans to finance the transition with a one trillion euro budget. so the head of the european commission on her plans taking center stage in davos on wednesday but the u.s. president was also back in the spotlight is the day's wrap from our correspondent javi i guess. the president of the european commission line was very clear when she

said that the european green deal will be the strategy for the blocs fruiterer economic growth growth that could be threatened by a trade dispute with the united states however after listening to the u.s. president donald trump who again addressed office today in a press conference it seems like trade negotiations between the u. and the u.s. are not going so well the president even said that it's more complicated to negotiate with the e.u. and negotiating with china experts agree that a trade dispute with you would be far more costly for the u.s. economy than the ongoing trade dispute with china that's because taking into consideration imports and exports bilateral trade in 2018 for example was 70 percent larger between the u.s. and the e.u. than between the u.s. and china. u.w. correspondent haas and get us reporting there now what is the purpose of a company is a to simply create value for shareholders or is it to guarantee certain social

goods like work and decent wages with climate change looming and inequality persisting skepticism over traditional a shareholder capitalism is coming from all corners and seems to resonate among the leaders gathered in davos. one message coming out of davos is that companies want to take more responsibility for the environment and one is ahead of the pack one of the world's biggest money managers blackrock is working with germany and france on creating environmental funds $500000000.00 for sustainable investments and the trillions of dollars that blackrock manages will be invested in clean projects. we're going to turn down any companies that don't take long term environmental and clue. i'm at risks into consideration in their corporate management they take coal mining for example we will withdraw from companies that continue to rely on coal will refuse to take part in those projects. blackrock is still one of the biggest

investors and coal projects such a huge company changing its policies can have a tangible effect but is this just green washing or a serious commitment it's not something that superficial it's not something that they're doing to greenwash it's something that fundamentally change is their economics and the way they do business if we actually think about companies that are performing well financially they're also usually the ones that are doing better on environmental metrics and social metrics and governance metrics what would a new sustainable capitalism look like there are plenty of initiatives around the world to help companies be more sustainable and we're told there's definitely rising demand for such services especially since companies are affected by complex global problems which they can't solve on their own. well it looks like with that girl liberation is the new competitive edge to companies so those companies that know how to collaborate with n.g.o.s civil society with governments and with
