southeast asia as garment workers in the industry pay a heavy price of the pandemic millions of jobs have been lost despite patchy government support. and the sharia compliant tech start ups scrapping for a bigger share of indonesia's multi-billion dollar finance industry. may 1st was an important day for the world's poorest nations it was the day that the rich club of g. 20 nations gave debtors a payment holiday until the end of the year the hope is that debtor nations can use the money to pay for health care during the pandemic despite more than 100 countries applying to the international monetary fund for emergency aid the i.m.f. and world bank haven't been so generous insisting that nations keep paying interest on debt although the i.m.f. has offered some relief to $25.00 poor nations which amounts to $200000000.00 which let's face it isn't that much of nations really do need help nigeria has received 3 point $4000000000.00 from the i.m.f. with debts of only 30 percent of g.d.p. you'd think the country couldn't get into trouble but it's dependent upon oil for 90 percent of its ex

does that make southeast asia more vulnerable to the rest of the region?ink even when things broke out they were more worried about supply chain disruptions. but as lockdowns became more widespread or contained measures that would put them within the region, seeing heavy toll on domestic activities. is example, the highest cost the philippines at 5.8% g.d.p. also the most stringent. tom: tom here in beijing. to what extent is that picture also pulled lower by the fact of the policy response in this part of the world, at least in southeast asia is more constrained particularly on the fiscal front? how much of a headwind is that for those economies looking ahead to the second half of the year? >> had some big release packages as a share of g.d.p. but once you dig into them there's very little, as you say, in terms of actually wanting directly spending to stimulate the economy for when it elerges out of lockdown and economy begins to pick up. that obviously constrains to the extent that growth can rebound in the second half of the year. this is also because o

so then it is not a surprise with these emerging infections they don't come from parts of southeast asia with connections with animals. bird flu is another good example where people in china and other parts of southeast asia live very close to their pigs and birds or foul, chickens and it's a great opportunity for viruses to swap genes and attack human and then there is a global pandemic. . . . .

in southeast asia but they have gone through pandemics before, many people wear masks and we notice onat people have come from southeast asia or have been there before, they are wearing masks. and there has been a discussion to say that it will send a message that we are all serious. notjust being serious about it but being seen to be serious about it, which is why there is a difference in how, for example, ministers here in london and the first minister scotland have a slightly different view. and in scotland it is only for enclosed spaces where it is not possible to do social distancing but i think nicola sturgeon has said social distancing is what, all the scientists agree, is the most effective. but in enclosed spaces we want to take every precaution. the science does not tell us, that is the best way to protect yourself. but we may, more and more, be going towards coverings especially as you go towards opening public transport and we are in public spaces more, that more and more masks will be necessary. but i have to say, i wear a mask and you realise that when you wear a mask you
