11:17 am
one german start up says it's technology gets that pretty close. and mexico with government steps in with measures to contain food prices. but are they working with v w is this i'm janelle dumas and welcome a warning for turkey. the european bank for reconstruction and development says the recent earthquake there could hit the country's economy by up to one percent of its g d p. hampering recovery efforts and our report out today. it also warns there's misplaced optimism in the economic recovery of developing regions in europe. the middle east and north africa, the e b r d 's says it's focused region, saw 3.2 percent growth between january and september of last year. but that was still slower than growth. the output of all of 2021. looking at country growth, specifically the biggest decline it came from ukraine, which posted
11:18 am
a 30 per cent drop in the study period. while turkey grew 6 point one percent during that january to september period, the e b id says the earthquake has significantly dampened those prospects. we're joined now by e. b r d chief economist be at a for a chic welcome be outta so let's start with turkey. you views the experience of a previous earthquake in 1999 at the model to assess the economic damage that turkey may expect from last weeds. earthquake, tell us, what are your findings? well, the earthquake has been a huge human tragedy, but also it has economic costs. however, even though this years earthquake was stronger in magnitude than the one in 1999, we hoped that its economic impacts will not be greater. and that's because the previous earthquake affected part of the country with very strong input output
11:19 am
linkages to other regions. so the impact of the earthquake was felt why beyond the region directly affected the part of turkey that was hit by the cataclysm this year is focusing mostly on light manufacturing and agriculture. so the hope is that the agricultural season can still be saved. and because of weaker linkages to other parts of the country, the impact will be more limited. now, i would like to ask, what is the e b r d going to do? will you be making any emergency funds available for turkey and syria in order to help them rebuild? my colleagues in ankara are looking into ways we can help. now, it's very clear that in end the reconstruction effort, public funding is never enough. therefore, it's critical to mobilize private investment and that's exactly where we can come
11:20 am
in. we invest in private sector. last year we invested 1600000000 euros in turkey. and we hope that through the, our knowledge of the country, through our links to the private sector, we can bring additional private investors from abroad. and in this way help the reconstruction effort. many hands to help than and, but zooming out more generally on your report. so the title is not out of the woods yet. you mentioned a whole range of factors affecting growth expectations. what do you stands out as the biggest challenge of all? inflation is clearly the challenge that standing out, even though we are expecting a lower inflation this year. we are still talking about double digits for m aging for emerging europe and looking at historical experience. even these current projections may be somewhat optimistic, and of course,
11:21 am
inflation is harder for people in emerging europe to cope with simply because their incomes are lower. so a larger chunk of their income is spent on basic necessities. now if also said that markets are expecting higher gas prices in europe, and they're expecting them to remain high, sorry for the next several years. why is that? well, that's because the global supply of l n. g is limited by physical infrastructure and it's very costly and it takes time to increase the ability of the world to, to sell more. ellen g. moreover with china opening the demand for gas imports is going to be higher. and even though the prices are lower than what we saw a few months ago, they are still in europe 5 times as high as the prices in the us. and that's going
11:22 am
to have a negative impact on european competitiveness. thank you. e, b r d chief economist b at java chic, therefore us, thank you for your insights. thank you. now to some of the other global business stories making news. the u. s. experienced and unexpected balance and retail spending in january sales, john 3 percent from december as auto dealers, department stores and restaurants all recorded strong turnover. it's the largest month to month gain since 2021, and is expected to add to pressure on the fad to keep raising interest rates as it fights inflation. world bank chief a david malpass says he will step down as head of the development lender nearly a year early. he was appointed to the role in 2019. when donald trump was president, recently mel past has come up against calls to step down for is inadequate approach to the climate crisis. next up are reality check. an augmented

11:24 am
a display in there. we have the whole human factor, white, different dimensions, and the brightness is a big point because we're looking through it and fighting against the ambient light . and i think augmented reality is one of the most complicated things you can build right now. well yeah, because i haven't launched a rocket into space yet, but i suppose it's easier. who's making the glasses. the big tech companies are investing billions in the fight for the future market. i need to play of some players have been around for a few years like microsoft and magic leap on the big hope is that apple will bring out augmented reality glasses soon. it looks like this won't happen until next year at 5. there are other companies like in real, for example, who brought 1st marketable consumer ready glasses on to the market. the health market. a lot of these young founders in cal through aren't phased by that. they technology has so far, only allowed limited fields of vision in defect. m isn't in the end. it's
11:25 am
a technical problem still, a few times you thought you'd solstice, you through a lot of money at it and then realized afterwards that you don't get the fields of view that the form factors that you need. so you don't look stupid with it. i and you get that immersive feeling. we're doing something completely new. we're doing. i won't say how is that going to be 12 i t specialists and engineers work full time for geek cell so far. only men, but hopefully that will change soon. say the founders, the glasses will come on the market in 2 to 3 years, and they may open the world's eyes. now, last year, mexico's economy grew 3 percent, but rising food prices continue to weigh on mexicans wallets. this year the government has been taking steps to keep the costs of staple food and check, but they have had limited effect. going to the store is something carmen now dreds . as a single parent,
