all these or is there more to the d listing of 5 major chinese companies from the new york stock. and we'll show you how euro, why i managed to get almost all of its energy from renewable sources. and what price the south american countries paying for that? i'm chris kolber on berlin. welcome to the program. the use economy grew slightly less than expected from april to the end of june, amid soaring energy and food prices. in the 2nd quarter of the blocks, gross domestic product increased by 0.6 percent compared to the 1st 3 months of the year. according to the latest official figures, economies of the netherlands romanian sweden grew exceptionally strong while germany's stagnated. europe's largest economy is feeling the pain of reduced russian gas. most fears that gas rationing could devastate the german economy are rising. now the international monetary fund has worn that europe's industrial power

house is exposed to the biggest economic risk from the fall out of the war in ukraine. fatty nonfiction arm is an economist at berlin's, h t, w, gunner's versity of applied sciences. let's get his view on this or come back to the program for it. and so we have 0.6 percent growth in the u as well as in the euro's on. what do you read in these grow fairs to bit of mix picture. as you said in your, in your introduction when we have relatively strong growth in southern europe and weak growth in northern europe or in germany in particular. and in that sense, it's been, it's a bit mixed picture. i guess what we can read into that is that the high uncertainty in the current situation is making life particularly hard for countries as germany or producing machinery, for example, with goods in general. because uncertainty is always

a bad thing for investment obviously. and this is what is dampening growth in germany. so to say, and speaking of these risks, we have the warning of the i m s saying that the german economy is most exposed to these a full address of the war and ukraine. and that has been data showing that the journal economy already contract it slightly in july. so how big is the risk for germany here? i think we don't see too much in the current figures yet, but the outlook is definitely extremely weak. i. i think we should expect for the 2nd half of the year for the 3rd and 4th quarter, we should expect negative growth. and this is obviously related to the current situation in eastern europe, but also related to supply chain interruptions with china. we currently here a massive product here about massive problems in china, in terms of economic production and all these aspects play

a major role for germany, which is highly dependent on the, on its exports. and there are more and also, and it's important to actually import of gas in parts off off off semi semiconductors and all the things we are exporting from the near east like eastern europe and the far east like china. and at the same time, the german government says that 2 floating liquefied natural gas terminals will be operational, starting in the winter time, the countries gas, the storage facilities, are 75 percent full. you know, what do you see regarding this scenario when it comes to energy supplies for the country, for the economy in germany? i think most people are maybe hesitatingly optimistic about this. i think what we're, what we're definitely seeing is that the german economy, the german firms, but also private households are able to reduce their gas consumption. and i'm sure

we can expect stronger reductions if the price increases, which are to be expected for the 2nd half of the year. fully kick in that fully fully effect households and firms. but there is still a way to go to be honest, we still have to reduce by some more than 20 percent. and this means translating it into households. daily life means we have for you, we have to reduce the temperature in our apartments by some 2 degrees celsius. and that is something you, you will feel and notice, and i'm really uncertain if people are able and willing to reduce their gas consumption by that much economist. that isn't a situation. thank you for your time. thank you another, some of the other global business stories making use german utility unit or univer,

which secured a 15000000000 euro stay bailout last month voted a loss of more than 12000000000 euros for the 1st half of the year. that's mainly due to the lower russian gas applies, which forced it to buy at higher prices elsewhere. eat. waiving the some, china has pushed the egg rises by 30 percent. his hands are lean your eggs and i've also been eating less on hot days. some farmers have electric cooling systems for their animals. apple is and talks to make it smart watches and laptops. in vietnam, apples suppliers have started testing production in the country. as the tech giant cease to diversify production away from china. vietnam, which already makes apples tablets and earphones is its most important production hub out side of china. or strained relations between the united states and china, making chinese firms leave wall street. while 5 major chinese state on firms are

withdrawing from the new york stock exchange. oil giants, petro, china, and sino pack are leaving, along with the chemicals firm, shanghai, petrochemical, which is owned by sign a pack. china is biggest aluminum producer, charco, and insurance giant china life insurance are also quoting wall street. these 5 companies have a combined market capitalization of $320000000000.00. apparently, it is all over new transparency requirements that allow authorities to get more internal information from publicly listed firms, not chinese state own firms, do not want to hand over more information. siding national security concerns now more chinese firms are coming to europe among the top destinations leading financial centers, switzerland, and germany. let's get more on this from d. w. sold sighing hen in taipei. so trying to claim that increased

scrutiny by use authorities is the reason for this d listing. how much are these companies giving up with this book? or chris, not much though you talk about the numbers for the trade in value of these companies is very small in the u. s. capital market as a whole. and most of them could turn of hong kong or singapore for secondary list in or do all this thing. hong kong, for example, has a highly efficient capital market. and with the sun high sends and hung con, stock connect mechanism. it's more effective in expanding the composition and scale of investors and diversifying their risks. they are voluntary on the listing as thick lillian, that either they are not happy about the escalation tensions over taiwan. or there will be some progress in the us, china audit and the regulatory negotiations. what does this move that mean for companies like ali baba, for example, which are heavily banking on their listing in the united states?

well in july this year ali baba announced that it would soon apply for a primary listening hong kong make it a dual listing company. so he didn't have to face increased regulations. the u. s. u. s, as you mentioned, and we also talk about another big chinese company by do it applied for a secondary listing, which is an easier way up by the way behind these. there is this invisible hand of baiting, because the chinese government, they don't want these companies to hand over data of 100000000 users, a collector in china to the u. s. in order to go public in the u. s. so are for them. it's more a national security issue. and so some chinese companies have preferred, reasonably to be listed on european no stock exchangers. how does china view europe as a trading hub or chinese companies, they are looking for a new land for i p o. and with the launch of sung high london,

stock exchange connect europe is expected to become a listing, why they called a listing paradise for chinese companies. while allowing companies listed on a sense in stock exchange to issue global depository receipts and expanding the overseas markets to the stock exchange of switzerland, germany, and other countries in europe. the w's sold sung han and tie buried. so thank you. it is to europe. why now and the past decade, the south american country has gone from being dependent on fossil fuel imports for power to a renewable energy pioneer. almost 100 percent of its energy now come from renewable sources. but that also comes at a price. caddo pharma, jemina bolos property is surrounded by a wind park. and while the turbines don't belong to her, they bring many advantages to the farm. the company that built the wind farm also

repaired al paths enrolled and installed fences and gators you. that's why we said yes to the wind turbines. after our initial concerns, that wind turbines financed by foreign investors rotate on geisha manas farm, paying her a $160000.00 a year in rental income. thought again, it is that we use the rental income from the wind turbines to buy cattle on his seed and she so i lab land that for his that moves as forward you when are you good . i got enough. dozens of wind parks like this one. have allowed uruguay to meet nearly all of its energy needs from renewable sources. this small south american country is now a climate champion. and the center of this development is here. you take the technological university has specialized in union bulls. it trains

engineers for wind and solar energy tech as part of the country's energy strategy. it often, camille isn't they wouldn't change, no energy resources has ensured that we no longer import oil export massive amounts of renewable energy to brazil and argentina for example, in that he hasn't been able to see look window, but at hinting. and that's also because the government makes solar energy palatable to businesses with huge tax incentives. 5th has tremendous advantages. whenever the wind blows all the sun shines hydropower from reservoirs isn't needed, it's only use when really necessary. so it's all, well, in uruguay. no, not at all. ordinary consumers are paying the price of the expansion of the renewable energy production. poor families are spending up to 15 percent of a monthly income on electricity. according to experts. to la begum, we caught it the cost of renewable energy somewhat lower than fossil fuels before,

but it's still very high. that's because uruguay is a small country that has had to make significant investments with foreign partners for the wind farms and transmission network. this also to look back to you, so i'll equals kick off. don't know, black jemina also pays high electricity prices, and yet she cannot imagine how can you live without it as a cattle and wind farmer? and that's a show i'm chris kolber on berlin. thanks for watching. have a successful day. ah ah. with

big prophets at the expense of the environment and outdated business, not it's disastrous effects are visible everywhere. green technology are seen as the solution. what can they truly help us achieve? sustainability made in germany. in 30 minutes on d. w. o has no lynette. love is for everybody.
