as treasury has done with the bank of england ‘s where the bank of england ‘s where the governmentdefaults on those loans and those banks are not going to lend to. do you think a recession across europe, in fact across the world, is inevitable? i think the risks arising very rapidly. the best case, until recently, was the impact would be felt in the first half of the year. that's demand is going to be delayed but not destroyed and it will rebound in the second half. but now, the worst—case scenario is becoming the best case which is that demand is going to be destroyed as the global corporate profit cycle colla pses global corporate profit cycle collapses which would lead to rising bankruptcies, cutbacks on investment spending, consumption and basically destruction of demand. so at your work, what you think your clients right now amidst all of this? what are we saying to clients? it is wait and see. hold your breath. hold your breath. this is the best case but be aware of the worst case scenario. if you want to invest anywhere really, you're going to be looking at china. really? ye
