7:07 am
a big aid package for the german economy because they're of big concern this might affect the german economy really strongly and so there will be a liquidity packages and so work time agreements will be made easier for companies so they will be compensated if they decide for example to keep their employees at home so public health is obviously the 1st priority for the german government as it is for others but the economy germany has an export driven economy this is a worldwide crisis with the coronavirus how is the crown of virus expected to impact the german economy where it is already impacting the german economy very much. mainly of course to the line industry anything connected with travel people staying at home meetings and gatherings are being canceled people are not going anywhere so the industries are already asking the government to provide some money . but that's not the only problem one is coming one is containment the containment
7:08 am
measures the other problem is china china is a not buying anything at the moment because they're not producing anything they're not buying any cars or anything and secondly many german companies and many companies around the world rely on china for their supply side and they're just not getting materials and parts of china that is hitting the economy hard on the plus side though wouldn't you know just said the aids fought for the german economy germany has a big budget plus all the money is that in a unique position that. germany has around 900 confirmed cases of corona virus so far can the german health care system cope with a rapid spread of the virus well whenever i followed those press conferences last week it was very clear that the german health ministry is extremely proud that the numbers in germany are comparatively low still and if you look at italy is
7:09 am
a completely different story and here in germany the authorities say that they're proud that they have managed to keep the numbers low for a relatively long time especially in those crucial fest weeks and because that bull them some time to find out more about the virus and to find out where they needed to concentrate their efforts and so this now they say has made the health system fatty resilient to that crisis of course everybody's asking themselves what do we do if everybody gets sick at the same time is that still something that we can cope with and so of course that is why people are trying to contain the virus as much as possible still and there's. also an export ban on crucial medical equipment because people have found that some of those special equipment that doctors need to deal with sick patients at home that they were exported abroad and that is no longer a situation that jenny can ford the current virus is making itself felt around the
7:10 am
world in all aspects of life this is reflected in the oil price to understand spending 30 percent drop in in the price of oil attributed to the credit by day corona crisis actually triggered that because especially demand in china is way down and demand goes down prices go down now last week that opec and opec plus opec and russia the 2 biggest exporters are saudi arabia and russia they tried to cut production and cut supplies at a key prize prizes stable they couldn't couldn't agree. to do that and so saudi arabia is out of the price war right in the middle of this corona crisis not a good idea the world economy things the what economy i think if you look at the world economy as a patient and oil is the life blood flow this is to be a drop in. pressure right now block pressure right now in the world it world economy hits in a patient that is already infected with a growing of ours so this is very very serious and we should keep if you look at it
