with exclusive inside. the must see concerning. place to be curious minds. do it yourself networkers the. subscriber and don't miss out on. the town. so much on the taps attentional the o.e.c.d. calls for african economies to boost productivity it says growth has failed to create enough quality jobs old well being for the population. to be a multi-billion china has also a german entrepreneur about being stuck in a lockdown in beijing and if the crowbars post scare him best is all for good. and up to 2 decades of hacking the safety and logistics of the media becomes the 1st african states which will meet the united states. and it was all of it's own

business africa is just not catching up but activity has remained at 12 percent of that in the united states for 2 decades now growth just isn't enough to create jobs despite a surging middle class booming consumption and people flocking to urban centers a study by the african union and o.e.c.d. shows why. every 5th african of working age starts a business that's a level of entrepreneurship unparalleled anywhere else in the world and those businesses are key to the continent's future the study from the african union and o.e.c.d. reveals that 40 percent of all newly created jobs in africa or in companies that have fewer than 20 staff but how competitive are they many young businesses are in precarious shape says the study with weaknesses in areas like bookkeeping and long term planning they also often lack up to date technology despite growth productivity in africa hasn't improved in the last few years although

a few big firms like ethiopian airlines safari dot com or don't go to have successfully tapped into the huge african market smaller companies still struggle to unlock opportunities and there are many of those the study also says demand for consumer goods like food automobiles and other machinery in africa is higher than the global average. model pezzini from the organization for economic cooperation and development how to unlock that potential. when you are small for me you cannot by definition do everything in sight so you buy outside and very often the outside is close outside so what matters a lot is the local environment in which the for located you have the local environment is good fine if not they would soften in terms of productivity what i mean in. european countries in one kilometer you find an accountant

a den you can have a center for control of quality then you have some information about fish and trains all those themes that for hours are common in africa are difficult to find despite the fact that the interpreters are many and they are working very hard every day but they have to freeze much a lot of program that we have forgotten just briefly what about startups today have the potential to drive productivity and innovation in africa always the top. no vetoes they enter being in the environment that these already exist in but in doing something new so of course they are in agent of change the problem is that we see is that in many cases they survived 3 years so the problem is how to make those initiative more stable but generally speaking the rate of interpreting should be enough is the i used in the war if it's any thank you very much you're welcome

some economists warn the growth of virus could prove to be a lehman brothers moment saying the outbreak could see many firms pull out of china for good after realizing the fragility of supply chains the crisis the scene thank you shut down supply shortages border closures then travel bans as if the global tourism sector a drop in manufacturing and travel is depressing world prices. a short while ago i spoke to german business who's just returned from beijing and asked him what it was like to be stuck in lockdown in a ghost town. well i've been through ghost towns before 2003 i was a veteran of the sauce crisis and it was in lockdown what just different now that actually the shops and the restaurants are all down it's like a panic particularly in beijing where i live which is hard to understand because we have 3 in a case as one mortality and we have 5000000 cars in the city you don't see them anywhere it's ghost town which is frightening and my kids actually 8911 very

concerned about this i mean it's depressing frank you were stuck there for some time how did you get out now actually getting out is very easy split 2nd trip by leaving china but i'm like the 1st time when they came back now they put a new constraint on it i have to be put into current time because i come from germany in beijing when i return next week which is peculiar because in china you can get on the plane you get out here no current time. and you were planning to go back i believe. a crazy thought no i mean it's particular because i plan to go back tomorrow and now i cannot because i have another meeting in. soften and another place of germany and so in a way i got told to stay put here and more than 14 days in germany i'm sort of ok need to go back to china don't have a care in time but my family my work is waiting so i have to go back and possibly be self contained in current time to my house would you say these strange rules and

practices a part of why this virus is spreading so quickly. i mean this is a president never had a care in time during his ours and it's kind of understand why when you come from germany you have to be current time and i think it's way over the top we have 2 different regions one is one and who we are which is really a was on its absolute a catastrophic there people are struggling and now we have been aging and shanghai cities of 20000000 people and 300 cases so i fail to understand why this kind of. lockdown what about the economic impact there are economists today talking about this being a lehman brothers moment. the economy is going to take a major hit in the 1st quarter services is a major chunk and transportation 80 percent down will tell us how close restaurants are closed and the movies and everything so there's not much activity if at all. many factoring is partly coming back car industry is chemicals and so forth but the

1st quarter is basically gone now we have to see how they open up because even if you produce you have so many logistics nightmare signaled to get this products from a to b. you're running short on supply on packaging material and so forth the economy starters so it takes much longer than in 2003 to have a comeback story so powerful comeback but what about long term do you see companies deciding against china pulling out deciding to take their production elsewhere well 1st of all the biggest risk is not to be in china because the biggest growth story there's no 2nd china available and so for companies they always have to keep in mind and this is the place to be but of course now i think china has been teaching a lesson that diversity of speaking part of the show either you diversify in china or you put it different places or you go to the region or possibly there will be a discussion in germany on industrial policy you know antibiotics the precursors are in the mongolia most of them do we really need this only there or do we want to have this here it's going to be an interesting discussion but i think overall you

can't avoid china you actually have to be just of ok thank you very much thank you very much. the media has fought with the united states over safety regulations and logistics for nearly 2 decades now it's finally become the 1st african country to export red meat to the u.s. . free range and grass fed. is billing its beef as top of the line for 18 years the country has been in negotiations with the u.s. for 2 years it's been sending over samples and now 25 tons of meat or on their way to philadelphia a 1st for the entire continent. plans to ship around $860.00 tons of meat to the u.s. and it won't stop there with total export volume expected to raise to $5000.00 tons in the next 5 years it's a business that's going places the usa is the world's largest market for beef

american consumers consume an average of 120 kilograms of meat per person per year . has already had some success with shipping before broad with exports going to norway the european union and china and german court ruling has allowed american electric comic a tesla to keep clearing forest for a massive new factory environmentalist's that blocks the works in court saying the public had not been properly consulted the scientists just outside of. the 1st european facility production is to begin next year starting with $150000.00 vehicles. eventually the ones there should out half a 1000000 vehicles a year in chemicals. is jumping on the bad wagon recently announcing the construction of a factory for key components in electric car batteries not far away startups in the region are also hoping to cash it. as reports. just a few more batteries to build and then that's it for the next few days there's

a dip in production at tess fulton brandenburg as apply a can't keep up deliveries of the required tack the company is feeling the downside of the emo billet a boom empty shelves in the warehouse where crates would usually be piled up high the boss of the battery producer says such a production bottleneck is nothing new the industry is booming that's why founders the manchanda has doubled his staff each year he's even considering building more space no problem as the land prices in the east of germany are so low. here's a stop up just not really where a startup so of course costs play a huge role we also have a location here with 4000 square meters of pure production and warehouse space that's a key reason why we set up shop here record for will be also here because it without a single square metre of building plot costs around $70.00 euro's and brandenburg

in the south of germany companies can expect to pay 420 euros or more since tesla announced its gigafactory the area is beginning to look like a key location for europe's the mobility revolution but who's profiting from who is listening to big this hasn't all popped up because of tesla but rather tesla came to brandenberg next to berlin because all these startups are in the area there are people who can be trained there that would be of mutual advantage each side benefiting from the other that would be a positive who opposes the tech startup energy could get inspiration from its new neighbor tesla here in the production hole ideas of forged into prototypes after many hours of design work by engineers at charging station that makes elektra city out of biofuel the bosses are already looking forward to the top dog moving in next door. it's amazing it's given the area

a huge uplift. all you notice in brandenburg things are moving forwards here the uplift in eastern germany is finally taking place but. the engineers want to bring their 1st charging stations into production in 2021 now that tesla has the go ahead to be a space for its gigafactory the route is clear for the 2 neighbors to launch production at around the same time. i was doing business with here.
