to the shipping industry, and it's hard to find staff in a fortress after breakfast, castle owners in england struggle with 1st world problems. this is dw business news . i'm not easy enough. welcome. the collapse of 2 american banks ascending shock waves around the world and putting pressure on markets. investors are worried about a contagion effect beyond the u. s. aden shares are seeing steep losses on tuesday and european banking socks. suffer their biggest drop in the year. you, as president joe biden saw to reassure depositors on monday, insisting he will provide for the safety of the banking system. meanwhile, whole however, ratings agency moody's downgraded the debt ratings of collapse signature bank deep into junk territory. moody is also place the ratings of 6 other u. s. banks under review for a downgrade. now helping fuel those fears over midsized lenders is

the concern that many of them may be sitting on under valued assets because of interest rate hikes when interest rate hikes were low. banks like s v be deposited their customers funds into long term bonds. does interest rates have climbed dramatically over the last year? they lost money on those investments. now that's not no problem. usually the bank can wait until the bonds are repaid. but if the bank is forced to sell bonds at book the loss, the same time rising interest rates are customers in s v b 's case, the struggling tech industry withdraw money. so the bank had to sell assets booking those last us because they had to meet withdraw requests that turned into a spiral of fear and to run on the banks. hon space i book us is joining me now. he is chair of banking and financial services. at the university of who and hines and germany, mr book are at the heart of this story as we just saw,

our rising interest rates. and we're not only seeing those in the u. s. though the e. c. b, for example, is also jacking up rates. can we expect more collapses of these smaller regional banks to follow in other countries? no look really. we can't expected. what it must say is that the fast increase in interest rate, c, e, c, b was forced to undertake you to inflation leads to certain vulnerability, and this is very evident in europe. you should be, should have started one, you're always increasing interest rate. now he has to do it very steeply, and this means for a long term bonds lose a lot of value. and if you have to realize this value and be trouble. but it's a question about trust sep in california was a class of the bank run. when there's a ronald liquidity, no bank we survives that on this bank was particularly badly place to cope with such a problem as it didn't even made

a proper risk management also into exposure. ok, so this seems to be contained likely to the specific bank. now the fed is meeting again next week to decide on interest rate increases before the bank collapse. investor is expected more rate hikes on the horizon. now do you think that the fed will continue its course of interest or higher interest rates despite the bank collapses? i mean, inflation is still there, it's, it's half office antibody fighting license, i think will be increased, but me to review stress bank and systems and might be willing to get on more slowly towards the things go wrong. what some market that isn't said that interest rates, my keys all just would be single. that's in a deep crisis already. and i see this is signals effect. don't like the price. ok, so higher interest rates are a good sign. in this case, according to the bank,

a collapse has spooked investors worldwide, as we mentioned. and for many, it's conjuring up images of the 2008 collapse of lehman brothers, which really reverberated around the globe. it wasn't just contained to the u. s. now there are worries that this one will be the same, could you perhaps elaborate and how for it is similar, or how far does different well described it shows that banks down the vulnerability called yesterday, liquidity pool to the on the b. so a tax on this liquidity, by doubting investors, will always lead to banking cries of the respective bay. but what's deaf the difficult we have is big. you us housing market financing debacle. they're a lot of houses, refiners that have much less value than, than that was placed on them. and so we have asked a lot of from, from before you house own that to greatly agree. and due to the secretary of this

claim, this risk was prayer worldwide. we had a totally different black mouth if we be comparatively the big bang, but if not, predicate risk louis will fly. it has some influence on the financing of small tech companies in some country. but this can easily be replaced by other banks or if necessary by the state. so we are in a different situation at the moment, but must take care of this. this is price doesn't evolve in certain directions and can have the balding, the u. s. government and the fed are now guaranteeing businesses will receive their deposits from the collapse banks. do you expect that this move will prevent any further collapses and will really stop the panic that for detrimental right now? one thing is, do we trust in the bank? and there might be some damage in the states because some revelation. and similarly, the level which, where we have a lower level of regulation at the rate $250000000000.00 total f bank with little

bit less than $250000000000.00. we've already very big bang and have a time to be systemic. so i think there's some problems in the regulation nighted state through the state have to cope with to come back to the main reason, i think for this guarantee was a different one. it about silicon valley, silicon valley. it's very important that they, all the small tech companies are seen as the guarantees a future growth and technology knowledge management. and if these companies get into trouble, this might have long term negative impact the united states and on its position in world economic power. so i think that's why biden was willing to guarantee all the, all the, although she was not obliged to hands this, i broke off. thank you very much bye now to some of the other global business stories making news in the midst of an economic crisis. argentina

of work or a shorter just hit industries across the board. following the pandemic, one of them is the freight shipping industry. while transport countries accompanies sorry, i've been flooded with orders after the reopening, they remained understaffed. now a belgian start up found a way for ships to set sail without their captains of freight shipping. the safe hands of captain, who's a 130 kilometers away. this no one aboard this vessel just cameras broadcasting to put on from the lyndon's office, an antwerp he steering remotely on a computer. it's almost the same as that as on the vessel or a small differences, but the system allows you to, to hear the engine ah, the small things that we can hear or listen to that makes that we are on the ship to remote work. the captain can steer 3 freight ships at the same time. belgians

start up see far, has developed technology to address a shortage of captains. it's been a growing problem for the industry as ever more goods are set to be delivered on the waterways. expedited amal hm. that means that we will need captains and crew to man these ships and this kind of personnel. if you look at how things stand as really hard to find, it's become a massive problem for any shooting company to keep their fleet running home for figure it out. i and dish efforts over time. that's why this shipping manager installed c 4 technology and 3 of his freighters, his company, transport, soil, sand and rocks within belgium and tries to keep a small carbon footprint. a single truck it causes for pollution, right? it's very okay. it's an easy way of going from point a to point b, but where you're at per ton exhausts are quite high. and so it comes to the fact that one truck can transport 1731 water trucks can transport 17 trucks worth of soil at the smaller ones and are larger ones,

can double that. german companies want to make use of the technology as well, like this company that has placed an order to equip 5 vessels. they hope the tech will help make the job of a captain more attractive. the maintenance sucrose think out, we want to be ready for the future on how to enable our employees and future employees to work in a modern environment versus not as good as includes not being tied to working aboard a ship, but to do their job on land it gives us a chance to offer an entirely new work life balance. i've been instead of doctor shopping, that would be wiped down from the linden exchange, the wheel house for an office. the reason is because i started the family. i had a child and i missed a child, and this kind of work allows me to still sill and also be at home. as of today, c for technology can't be used in germany. it hasn't been approved by authorities

yet. the company hopes that will happen soon. and freight ships aren't the only unexpected places staying empty in that work. her shortages staffing crunches can be especially isolating. if you live in a castle like the one fans know from the t v series. downton abbey, high clear castle used to be a famous event venue, but that was before breaks that meet the contests of high care castle in southern england, lady fiona canarvy and her husband, the earl, simply can't find staff to hold large weddings anymore. she says they only have people to case or for parties of 20 or fewer. we cannot find them when we go to our usual agencies and try to find people. they are not that if we ask for 13 might turn up. we've gone to all the local colleges. there's nobody we haven't asked. lady colonel irvin blames brags s e u students attending university in britain used
