philippe legrain is a former economic adviser to the president of the european commission, from the london school good morning. so that is mario draghi's dilemma. what are you expecting from today, if anything? as she rightly said, the big question is when and how the ecb winds down its bond purchases. i think it is unlikely to start doing so think it is unlikely to start doing so today. first of all because, as she pointed out, the economic situation has improved, but inflation is still low, way of the target. and secondly because the ecb has not prepared markets for this move, and if it acted without preparing markets, you would see a big sell—off which could cause it to reverse. will he give some heavy hints in the press conference about when tapering or scaling back of quantitative easing will begin?” imagine mario draghi will be hinting at the way forward. he has already spoken about the fears of deflation being over and out that being a question about reflation. the next ecb meeting is on the 26th of october and that is probably the time we will see an announcement about what the plans for

tom: you have a wonderful heritage within your family back and thehatcher years london school of economics compare and contrast between the present conservative tone of prime minister may and thatcherism. can that be made? >> you can certainly do it. i mean, the difference is chronological in the sense that when margaret thatcher came to power, we were in a completely different economic setting in the u.k. and the battles we were trying to fight were completely different once from now. of course, that might all come we were dealing with largely nationalized heavy industry with the country essentially run by trade unions and a massive rigidity to the labor market that had led to sustained decay to on employment, which has completely changed, not least because of mrs. thatcher and away mr. blair carried the thatcher program forward. the within that, what is main philosophy? -- may philosophy? ofon't have a construct within the brexit conundrum what the may philosophy is? >> you should distinguish between those two ways you formulated that last question. the question what is mayism has no ans

king,st chart with lord when you were a professor at london school of economics i believe textbooks wereion and goods deflation we see. does chair yellen have a unique economy, calculus that is not in the textbooks? lord king: i think this has been developing for several years, and the gap between services inflation and goods trading inflation is something central banks have been looking at. they are concerned with looking at the underlying inflation generated at home which tends to be reflected more in services and wage inflation. those are the indicators that will make central banks around the world worry about whether they should start to raise interest rates. to the extent they benefit from deflation from imported goods which are falling in price, that is an advantage that boosts living standards but not a direct measure of underlying inflationary pressure. francine: what will it take for ceos to start spending their cash and reinvestment, can he say the economy is healthy? lord king: no, you cannot. for the past 10 years we have seen very weak investment and that reflects great unce
