Worldrst country in the to completely shut down, affecting more than 60 million people. Ofeffort to stop the spread coronavirus. It is one of europes biggest economies. If you are looking for shock and all, the italians have gone for it. What does the lockdown really entail . Ofit is the same sort lockdown they had in the north, it does notagain, seem to be like in china where you see nobody in the streets. Public events are closed, universities and schools are closed. As we have seen the first couple days in the zones we designated originally, people seem to be moving around quite a lot. People are in cafes. It is a broader lockdown but we are yet to see a real situation where we truly had empty streets. How will this extended affect the Economic Impact on the country . Take me through the impact. The areas that were first cordoned off, those were the of the country. If you slow down activity everywhere, if people cannot travel, that is just more businesses, more Small Businesses that are suffering and just thousands and thousands of more citizens that are going to need aid in the future it is going to multiply the relief the government is going to have to provide. They are talking about 7. 5 billion euros right now. Everyone expects that relief money to arrive. Us turn to maria. Good to see you this morning. What steps are the u. S. Taking . We know yesterday was a terrible day. Immediately you did get President Trump saying we will put a Major Economic measure, we needed to help the coronavirus talking about major tax relief for industries that were hit. He is also talking about payroll tax cuts. The thing that is interesting if there was a lot of mixed messaging yesterday on the coronavirus. The president tweeted there are Many Americans who die on an annual basis because of the flu and life should go on. He hinted there could be a package to prop up the markets, but it was not just trump. You look at the World Health Organization yesterday, they said they were close to a pandemic. They fell short of describing it as such. They said this could be the first time in history where we are able to control a pandemic. What is clear is the numbers continue to climb. We are not at peak virus yet. We just look at italy, talked about it, but its not just that country. European leaders today are going a speak at 5 00 p. M. To put coordinated response to the virus here. The criticism as it has taken two weeks for the europeans to get on the phone to try to do this together. About theis coordination, or lack thereof. Thank you very much to the bloomberg team. Virus is whatthe market voices anticipate. This is not going to repair itself. A recession. Many countries are going to be hit. You are going to see a whatever it takes policy approach from the fed. I dont think this is a micro problem. This will sort itself out. It will not sort itself out before further damage, unfortunately. Now is theing me founder and president of good to see you this morning. We have an entire european nation in lockdown. Xi jinping going to visit wuhan. President trump promising stimulus. Yesterday, we were talking about global recession. Nothing has changed, a market has gone into lockdown, yet we are in rebound. , now you have italy, its going to hit supply chains across europe. No coordination in terms of policy at the moment. Chinese growth is already cut. At best we can expect 2 to 3 chinese growth this year. The impact on a global basis is largely europe, china, the u. S. Smaller heading toward growth. Globally you are going toward recession. Manus i have had enough guests tell me there is a lack of coordination. What do you want to see . What can g7 do . Take it out to g20. What can g20 do at a global level . It has to be fiscal policy, not monetary policy. Manus g20 tax policy . You want tax cuts. You want cuts for certain industries. I think the taxcut industry the Airline Industry will be coming for a bailout. Payroll taxes may have to be cut. Manus how do you coordinate that as a g20 . Each country lives in a different economic paradigm. That is true. You have to do something about health. Infrastructure. All the levers have to be used at the same time. Is a Global Health crisis, not a Global Financial crisis yet. , but is itrespecting not that we need a much more demonstrative g20 Health Response . Which we have not had. Manus what would that look like . You want to do something about Health Supplies area if you look at europe, everyone is keeping their Health Supplies locally. We dont want to trade them any longer. I think you need to make a major effort saying we are going to ensure Health Supplies. Manus is that a message that should come from the white house , bringing every Major Pharmaceutical Company together to face the world and open the supply . Yes. That has to mean china. It has to mean india as well. They are big producers. And then the europeans. We need key Health Policy indicators from the g20 manus i want to get your sense from the european. Italy is in lockdown. Strategyted 7 billion in terms of stimulus. This is the first layer first real test for Christine Lagarde. Who wants to borrow . What does Christine Lagarde need to do . Send a message once more about fiscal policy. It is not about monetary policy. T is short term liquidity you need to look out of the money market. That is where it might start. The credit markets i think you need to worry about. Today, tuesday, might be black tuesday for credit and highyield bonds manus Scott Maynard goes on to say let me get you a chart. Sorry about this. Have a look at this. Highyields. You talk about it could be black tuesday. Saying you canis given what you see here, i take it back to 2008. There is a long way to go. Look at the energy sector. Particularly shale on oil and exploration. Their and will start and transmit there itself to the highyield sector. Manus we have had the japanese bond market. The yen is rallied. Now to the ruble. The bank of russia starting fx sales today. This is fx intervention. We have had verbal intervention from a kuroda. Policy initiatives from the United States of america in here of payroll taxes, and we are this morning now looking at actual physical fx intervention.

You look through the eye of the 2008 storm. Your interpretation this morning . I think we are not at that moment. The headlines are, but not the reality, i think. Into our trading have seen an improvement yearoveryear. If i talked to china, they say it is Getting Better every day. I think there are encouraging signs. I think we have to stay calm. You have to be clear what your strategy is. Do toe to know what we help our customers. We have to go out of that stronger than we went into it as a company. Manus air france is cutting longhaul capacity by 13 and european capacity by 25 . Frank, are you cutting your capacity . Are you cutting capacity across the system, and if so, where . Frank we are managing that constantly. We have flown more in the first week of march because we needed the capacity to move the shipment. It is too early to say march will be much better than last year, but i think we have encouraging signs. Capacity, strength, it is an opportunity to help customers get stuff moved. Manus you are not cutting european you are not cutting your capacity at all . Capacity at all . I dont know every detail on that, but as i said, we need more capacity, not less. We will manage that on a daytoday basis. Manus let us talk about airfreight and Ocean Freight. You sell the first week of march you saw levels rise relative to last year. Give us the market extent of your airfreight and Ocean Freight from the start of the year. We have seen impact in february, of course, and a drop in volume, not surprisingly.

Guided for more than 5 billion because of the coronavirus. We confirmed that today. We have to watch. More, 5every month billion has been possible, but we have to watch what we are seeing.

We see a whole host of various companies dusting off their Disaster Recovery plans for Business Continuity plans. What measures can you tell us that you are taking at Deutsche Post .

What are the most appropriate measures that can be brought to help ceos like you when you go into this kind of storm . That is a very good question. Way,nk it is a different how the Market Dynamics are, how the labor market is working, i think every country has to make its own decision. In germany they are talking about helping companies who have to reduce work somehow. It is different by country. Manus you did not manage to street scooter into a profitable venture. Mobility. Hype around e are you likely to come to a deal . Decided now we will reduce our own fleet. We saidthe reason why we dont want to become a car manufacturer. We still operate a very huge fleet.

The bond markets are down in terms of price. We are seeing a pullback in assets we have been tracking the past week. The yen into the swiss franc. I want to dig deeper into the yen. Retreating from a three year peak, a very substantial week for businesses. Impacted, things like President Trumps comments driving that dollar bid. Relief from the chaos we have seen over the last 24 hours. Manus quite literally chaos. Dani burger, good to see you. How is my old friend the vix . It has surged to its highest since 2008. I want to be the contrary and here and say things could get worse. Thats because the vix. Has not priced in the degree of volatility we have seen in the markets. That blue line, thats realized volatility. 50 does not reflect the extent of the panic in the markets. Things could get worse. Correlation also important for volatility. Correlation has continued to be the highest, its longest streak of elevated correlation since 1996. Mid 50 vix scary, but maybe not scary enough. Manus plenty more tough moments to come.
