this is day to be business in berlin welcome to the program some of the world's poorest nations are facing long term damage from the coronavirus pandemic the united nations conference on trade and development makes that point in its latest report tad as it's also known says the least developed nations may have so far been spared the worst effects of the health emergency and the economic impact of the pandemic has been dramatic it warns that years of progress toward sustainable development may have been wiped out and lasting damage done. we're joined now by trade lead for at least developed countries at todd thanks a lot for joining us on the program and what tangible economic changes have we seen in the least developed countries as a result of the pandemic. we have seen 1st of all

a very serious recession and it's the worst economic performance that these countries are having over the last 30 years this means their years of very painstakingly achieved that social and economic progress will be reversed as a result of the recession and of the economic crisis particularly this can be c. in terms of poverty it's the 1st time in 20 years that the poverty rate in the least developed countries is increasing and at the end of the year more than one 3rd of the population of these countries will be living in extreme poverty this means 31077000000 people living in extreme poverty and then you have everything that goes with it declining levels of education of nutrition and of socially the conditions yes are these the sorts of problems that countries can

solve for themselves they rely and so on the actions of the rest of the world after all it's the problems with the global economy that largely to blame. exactly let's say that the crisis is that there are undergoing. partly it's domestically generated it's because of the measures to combat the pandemic kristie have taken social distance seeing law down. restrictions to movement into circulation etc but much more serious and then has bean the drying out of many of the sources of foreign resources like exports of goods exports of services capital to which these countries the receiver remittances of workers on which many of these countries are dependent so once you have had a very sharp fall in all of the sources of external resources this has a multiply that the impact of all of the domestic condemning.

will mention that they have largely avoided the west the health impacts of the pandemic a few could just very quickly tell us what do we know understand about why that's the case how these developed countries have managed to avoid the health emergency then what about countries of. well look 1st if you think particularly of the african countries rich or african they deceived rich for the least effect. they had benefited from the shacks that they were touched by the pandemic after the regions we know that upon demick region needed in asia they need to touch europe and then the the americas and off america but also south america it was only later they did the right in africa which means that national governments had the time to prepare and to plan all the measures which they eventually took in order to come but for bringing them make this is one factor the other factor is that in many of these

countries they have low population density so they have sort of a natural shoshu distance right so there's a space a graphical factors at play as well trigger from the un conference on trade and development thanks a lot for joining us on day 2 of your business thank you for having me now some of the other business stories making the news germany's financial regulator expects a major way of credit losses at german banks next year following the pandemic it's especially worried about aircraft financing due to grounded planes another threat is hackers with many investment bankers working from home and using less secure i.t. infrastructure. china has edged past the united states to become the european union's biggest trade partner with 425000000000 euros worth of commerce between the 2 economies in the 1st 9 months of 2020 analysts say the pandemic is responsible

for the shift in global trade lives. now getting coronavirus vaccines to patients around the world quickly is going to be a major legit logistical challenge and the fans is hoping to play its part the german flag carrier is confident its cargo on can provide the conditions needed to get the jobs where they need to go. the vaccine against covert 19 could soon be transported worldwide in these special containers the temperatures of minus 70 degrees celsius for months phillipe looked at beck has been preparing for this massive undertaking a cargo airline love tons of cargo he's the one responsible for the transport of pharmaceutical products the turmel containers can usually meant 10 chapters of up to minus 20 degrees celsius but thanks to a special procedure in which the vaccine is covered with dry ice litter back and

his colleagues can also guarantee temperatures of minus 70 degrees. you know this pre-prepared airtight container will be delivered to the pharmaceutical manufacturers just like this it's back to the manufacturers plant and when it arrives it look tons of cargo it's already at the right temperature it's then shipped to its final destination it's also sent to the recipient's farm or warehouse where it's finally opened at the correct temperature wise made up of which. the temperature of the container is monitored throughout the entire journey whether it's taxiing in frankfurt in the belly of a plane or even on another continent. for this to work of tons of cargo c.e.o. peter gaber set up a worldwide network. this invite we're going to we could start tomorrow we've been working on this intensely for months in a task force comprised of our experts as well as experts shippers and producers take our deliveries of insulin for instance we're now capable of transporting and

delivering it to brazil in 18 hours it will also work for this vaccine. but by the balcony. with that close collaboration among shippers from all over the world it would probably be impossible to guarantee a chain of transport in which temperatures of minus 70 degrees can be maintained. by more of it and a lot of components have to work together in concert we as an airline and the shippers work hand in hand a thermal container has many checkpoints where we test whether the temperature is still in the right range if there's still enough dry ice and if the battery is still properly charged. this is old especially important with regard to the corona virus vaccine because it can spoil so easily. the 2 and a half tons of medication that fit into each container aren't just expensive they're also expected to be in hot demand where they're delivered whether in africa asia or south america. and to africa now where gun

a ends go to the polls on monday with president hu for alto and former president john muhammad among 12 candidates for the presidency god is loaded as one of africa's stable democracies and is also considered a regional beacon economically the west african country is rich in raw materials chiefly or oil and gas but also gold and cocoa and in recent years it's seen consistent growth g.d.p. with levels as high as 8 point one percent but the corona virus pandemic is expected to push that growth down to just one and a half percent 5th year the pandemic is also swelling garners already enormous debts to over 76 percent of g.d.p. ghana has applied for international aid credits to help with that well going to has registered success in combating poverty it still has a way to go and not to according to the world bank around 23 percent of the

population still live on less than the equivalent of a $1.90 per day in u.s. dollars on this let's speak to our correspondent collette see who's joining us from the gun and capital accra great to have you on the program so election coming up on monday have we got any idea which way it's going. well so we have 12 and it is that are running for president but we have 2 leading candidates a convent and a nickel for i do and therefore my president john muhammad is a closer race. because we know in the previous election i don't know how my was an incumbent and he lost and i think i'm hoping by is too close to call this morning. we've just been talking about some of the economic challenges poverty level. and of course we know about what do we know about the candidates approaches to the.

so the incumbent government has largely focused on industrialisation trying to build factories across the country is yet to really make is yet to really fourfold the promise of good in every district by that is the intent of the government currently the candidate has full course also want to restructure in the financial sector so there has been basically they train for the current government and also trying to ensure that they bring some technology to the economy of how to run the economy. has largely be this campaign on creating jobs and also allowing low cost to own businesses this really is the difference between the $2.00 candidates as we're going to do. on monday. and just quickly i think if you can how big a role has the impact of coronavirus on the gun economy played in the run up to this election. it's because it actually affected growth and it has gotten the current government to borrow actually to try as much

as it came to rebuild the economy so it has played a role because growth has reduced and obviously deal position is actually picking up on that and saying that the current government is just not capable of running a good economy and it's not even necessarily because of the coverage really has brought some difficulties to be economy and and the parties really are trying to build up on that to see we have to really realize that i'm afraid we're running out of time in the program thanks a lot for bringing us up to date here on the top of your business. thank you.
