8:17 am
the streaming giant will get the view from wall street. welcome to the w business. i'm daniel winter in berlin. is a dia, prediction for the global economy. the international monetary fund has cut its forecasts for global growth this year to 3.6 percent. the i m f, blames rushes warren ukraine, putting pressure on a global economy already burdened by a slow recovery from the pandemic and supply chain pressure due to chinese covered loc downs. growth is slow across the board. united states, china and the euro's own, all expected to grow their g d p, but slower than previously hoped. but the i m. f expects russia to enter a recession due to ongoing sanctions against the country, saying it expects the economy there to shrink 8.5 percent by the end of 2022. let's talk now to mark as brunner, my, a director of princeton university's department of economics at the been time center for finance. thank you very much for joining us,
8:18 am
marcus. and 1st of all your reaction to the slowing predictions for growth. we've had it from the world bank now the i m f. they just keep coming august. no. so christ given the big disruption bill. freezing from the invitation to ukraine of and girl gould, expect her a decline of the growth rate. but the question is, how quickly can be bounce back and making sure some resilience given the circumstances. and so how, how quick do you think we can bounce back? i think that depends very much how quickly we can switch to other sources and just depends. you know what energy supplies we can in a place where so colby and oil, we can place collectively easily while gas much more difficult to replace. and that's, you know, a big challenge for germany, for europe and for the wanted to call me on a total stay in a t aspects. there's also the food of spectrum that might lead to starvation even in some parts of africa and social numbers. and that's some danger you have to be
8:19 am
aware of. and that's also what the m f was pointing out to swap. so an uncertain future. but now you've written a lot about globalization. so within countries wanting to become more independent, this war and ukraine has been a big trigger for that from russian oil from chinese tech. all we facing an end to the era of globalization. i think it wouldn't go so quickly so they have different weights for what so one way for what is to to the so called re shoring. so you're putting the production which was kind of brought back to the whole country. but on top of to that is entry, which is equally resilient, you still have more to source and by be even more salient up against future shocks . so what's more to sourcing? it means that rather than having one supplier in some other company, let's say china, you have the supply of one in asia, one in africa, and one in latin america. if something happens to some of the suppliers, you still have to fall back on. and it makes the whole system august williams. and
8:20 am
a 3rd where compromise is and that's what jen and dealing with your secretary was pointing out his record french already. so you only out was the countess which are friendly to you on our nation. and up to actually might lead to polarization or some divide of the globalization got, we have, you know, one block which we are friends with and create a lot as composition within the block. and there's another block, and there will be a 3 within the other block, but the 2 blocks and also connected. and so we have to see about the size of period to see how things are moving forward. but i think it will be good for the whole economy if you still would work together in a global sense, but more, more from work to sourcing brought them to the line on one country to supply all the inputs. ok, and where should western nations be focusing now when it comes to recovery? if you could be brief or not just running out of time, i think it's important to be more flexible and build up us. and in particular, flexible work sampling to kind a screw you want to have chips,
8:21 am
you can use everywhere, not specialized chips. so you can more flexibility. one chip will do the horse out, then you can replace it with a generic joke. and this flexibility allows you mortgage williams as well. ok, flexibility is the name of the game when it comes to recovery by the looks of it. mark has put a maya of princeton university. thank you very much for that. thank you, daniel. this, you ania this month, became the envy of the e u, when it announced that it has completely stopped importing gas from russia. banks to its investment in a terminal to import liquefied natural gas o l n. j. another big gas in puerto germany is also hoping to pull the plug on russia, but is much farther behind. could the lithuanian muddle show the way? every month tanks, ships filled with liquefied natural gas, had to lithuania by the baltic sea, one full ellen, g carrier, is all it takes to supply the countries 2800000 people with gas. wow. for month,
8:22 am
we've been invited to take a peek at the high tech floating ellen g terminal that makes it possible in the port city of chi pita. before the terminal, the failure and the baltic fades, have been paying the highest price in the whole europe, approximately up to 40 percent more just because we did not have enough time to do after the defendant started operations of the region. the natural gas prices became just the same as in the western europe. the terminal was cold independence because it makes lithuania completely independent of russian gas, which until recently was delivered high a pipelines, foaming in the terminal. and the port is prohibited due to fears of russian sabotage. the ellen g comes from norway, the u. s. and the gulf states, the gas, which has cooled down to minus $160.00 degrees celsius for shipping, is converted back to gas and fed into lithuanians grid through underground
8:23 am
pipelines. a similar floating terminal could also make germany independent. a russian gas says yurgeet us in his kite valencia vienna. better than it. it took 2 years to build the terminal, which will be expanded. it won't only make lithuania independent of russian gas, but will also help the baltic states supply neighboring countries with ellen g. that will be done by this gas distribution plant close to the capitol vilnius. from here, l n g flows to lift the wing as neighbors. the operator is preparing for increased demand. this place actually is connected to the new gas pipeline that this her being cur. under a very of finishing could touch your center. we will start, did the on the 1st of may had towards poland, my guess, interconnection between pond and devine. it's now easy for lithuania, poland, estonia, latvia, and finland to swap the gas reserves. so they have much better chances of making it
8:24 am
through a russian gas embargo. now to some of the other global business stories making news stain with gas, the price of u. s. natural gas associates, highest level since september 2008. the rise was driven by a global energy crunch over russia's war and new grain, as we've heard, as well as forecast for an extended spell of cold weather. a french court has given to former delivery executive suspended one year prison sentences. that's on top of a 30000 euro fine for abusing the free lunch status of its delivery drivers. the court also find the british food delivery company itself, 375000 bureaus, saying deliver root, put the writers under almost permanent surveillance, and should have classified them as employees. denmark, his aiming to produce green electricity for some 35000000 european households. the

8:26 am
netflix keep in mind was expecting an addition of 2730000 subscribers. and despite ne p s that was roughly in line revenue also fell short of expectations. now look after that announcement shares taking more than 23 percent and after hours action right behind me here on wall street a lot to take in and a big shock for a lot of people. okay, and it might not stop there as well. that's the problem here. we've heard of the so called great resignation in the united states. could we see now the great cancellation from subscribers, streaming services, video services, just like netflix in the us? well, you call it be a great reg resignation of the u. s. economy, i call it the big quit and if you're wondering why did people resign to leave their jobs and mass? because the wages, your job, the satisfaction, other job options, rising cost of living and all of those can be applied to the streaming services. you have yourself stagnant content platform, the satisfaction other options and less pocket money to spend on several streaming
