also on the show, inflation and energy rows are to weigh down on growth in the ex soviet block. that's according to the european bank for reconstruction and development. we speak to its chief economist and china's economic slowdown makes it hard for luxury shoppers to hold on to their designer good. creating a thriving 2nd hand market. this is the w business. i'm janelle delilah unwelcome. the european union says that the nord stream, $1.00 and $2.00 gas pipelines between russia and europe, were deliberately damaged in the baltic sea use of the probable act of sabotage said energy price is higher as the vulnerability of european energy supply and infrastructure was once again thrown into sharp relief. additionally, a payment dispute between ukraine's and nafta, gas and rushes gas prom could further endanger gas flows to the continent.

my colleague, to ponder chem delux has been following the story. here's as assessment of what this alleged attack means for energy markets. the leaks in the north stream $1.00 and $2.00 pipelines have added more uncertainty to the european energy market. there was a bump in prices despite the fact that nordstrom one was shut down indefinitely earlier this month. now given the amount of damage the pipelines analysts are saying they are less likely to be opperation o at any point this year. some also think that moscow benefits from the additional chaos in the energy market. and if this was indeed sabotaged, as some european governments suspect, it highlights the risk to other critical energy infrastructure in europe. in particular, the baltic pipe, a new pipeline that will deliver natural gas from norway to poland from october. first. this incident shows just how fragile and volatile the situation is,

and many are asking whether russia will continue delivering gas to europe by ukraine. now, reduce supplies, a gas and mounting in inflation will continue to have a major impact on economies across the developing world. that's what they are, pin bank for reconstruction and a development says, according to the bank, latest report, economic growth is expected to of, to slow further next year. especially in countries in the baltics, the cow causes and a central asia, the focus areas of the london based institution. for 2023, the expertise he growth of only 1.7 per cent, for the region. mostly due to gas prices averaging around 2 and a half times the usual level. a, b r a d, a chief economist viet jaffar chic joins us now. welcome to the show. we've been talking about how these alleged acts of sabotage on the nord stream pipeline might impact energy supplies. but how difficult is it for you to produce economic

forecasts in a rapidly changing geopolitical situation? well, it's difficult to produce forecasts at normal times. the current events make it this task even more challenging. however, with respect to this subtle touch, we have taken into account the possibility of russia completely cutting off gas supplies to europe. and under this pessimistic scenario, our already bleak full cost would be lowered by about $1.00 percentage points. so they're already difficult situation would be made even more difficult. now in terms of the economic impact of the war, where have you seen the most divergence among the b r d regents? the 1st half of this year, it surprised us because we saw

a much stronger performance than we expected. as consumers were spending savings accumulated during covet times, exports worse talk. now the effects of the energy crisis, uncertainty high inflation are putting brakes on the economy. so therefore, our forecast for this year is better than expected. but we are lowering the figures for next year. one region that's different that defines this trend is central asia central asia did surprisingly well. it remained resilient this year. originally we were concerned about lack of remittances. this region is dependent on remittances. we were worried from instances will dry out. that was not the case. moreover, the region turned itself into a hum for trade, for all they serve as an intermediary for chinese and east asian

exports directed to russia. and that's also helping the performance of the economy . so central asia turning out to be a bright spot in those regions. but can you tell us what sort of the difficulties that you've seen and some of the countries mean for the wider global economy? what we have seen recently is re shuffling of global value chains. we have been talking about firms moving from just in time to just in case and by now we already have evidence of this happening. emerging europe is the natural place for european companies, tool start doing more, sourcing the energy crisis. the uncertainty associated with the war will delayed this process. so this adjustment in global value changes that would have

happened faster will now be slowed down. e b r d chief economist, be at a, for a tech. thank you very much for your time today. thank you. now to some of the other global business stories, making news with inflation and energy prices soaring around europe. thousands in great britain are joining the no pe you kate who's meant the group is calling on its members to not pay their energy bills starting october 1st. the hope that the boycott will spurn the government and energy companies to take action against ballooning prices. apple is dropping plans to increase production of its new i phones this year after an anticipated surgeon demand failed to materialize for the 2nd half of the year, 90000000 phones will be made $6000000.00 less than anticipated. apple is also moving manufacturing to india to lessen dependence on china.

a ton of cargo. the plane has a range of at least 400 kilometers, roughly 20 percent of all your trout was 200 miles through us. in that subset of, of your travel, you find that the aircraft, the comedy that route length are very similar in shape and size to outs, britson ether, cobbler. so what we've done is that the, the market that we're looking at penetrating 1st is that shows the june ticking all come our last market and it's short whole flights that produce the mo. hm. full carbon emission levels per passenger and per kilogram of cargo. when compared to long ho flights. that's why the aviation chiefs, as alice mocked a major leap for environmental protection to us base regional airlines have already ordered a 125 alice aircraft and german logistics firm d h out once 12 cargo planes. the h o o, they've been very public in terms of their intent to help revolutionize the

transportation industry. tackling climate change had on with some of the technology advancement that they're working on. and so to have a customer, really a partner customer like it's very important to us in 2025 a company ames to get its design approved to take to the skies. and if that goes to plan, the 1st commercial electric flights will take off in 2027. and that's our show for more checkout d, w dot com slash business entity. de leon, using 2 channel, were also on facebook for me and the business team here in berlin. thanks for watching. ah, with
