more for the goods in may last year as highest court decided that the International Inspections should be ended though a final ruling has been delayed several times the next hearing is set for may nineteenth many workers fear that once the inspections end Workplace Safety will once again deteriorate trade unions are also currently demanding higher wages and shorter working hours in an industry notorious for exploitation and mess of profits. At the beginning of may no country will be able to import iranian oil unsanctioned or the Us Government said on monday the oil market was quick to respond and in the long term some countries like turkey are bound to struggle once irans oil is shot off the iran will be hit hardest. Inflation is up by over fifty percent that means everything is getting more expensive for ordinary iranians but hardly anyone wants to comment on the situation
publicly yes. Some have or fix limited ways like us when prices rose we had to change a lot of things our rent went up we were forced to spend our money on rent instead of food. Before us. In other words money has been losing its worth since u. S. Sanctions on iran were reinstated in november of last year. I believe life before the sanctions was hard for maybe half of the people but after the sanctions approximately eighty percent of the population is having a hard time. And things are about to get harder prices are expected to rise even further once america sanctions plug the last hole in irans oil well. The outlook for germanys economic environment has been looking increasingly gloomy now a key indicator of Business Confidence is also pointing to
a decline the institute for Economic Research regularly surveys Nine Thousand firms its Business Climate indicators suggest the services and construction sectors are still feeling strong traders with a higher alliance on exports are more pessimistic about the next six months we can in the Global Economy the uncertainty over breaks it and major Trade Disputes are all weighing on the move. Im now joined by glimmers forces the president of the evil institute who conducts this study was the first wired german Business Leaders worried and do they have a point well they certainly have a point in particular in manufacturing manufacturing in germany has a strong Export Exporter and due to increasing trade wars brags that Uncertainty Exports have been slow although it is not only exports what we see is that even domestic demand for certain types of Industrial Products is weak in particular
demand for investment gold so it seems that German Companies are slowing down their domestic investment maybe related to unfair attacks of conditions other countries have cut the tax rates of High Energy Prices so there are concerns about the conditions for investment in germany that makes things difficult for the Manufacturing Sector or services and construction sectors are more optimistic do you think that is justified. Well that is justified there is a lot of demand domestically for housing at least in the big cities that drives construction of the low Interest Rates drive up real estate prices that also supposed construction so that the sector has been booming for some time running at full capacity that spills over to parts of the Service Sector architects are doing very well and de niros are doing very well then there is a lot of the man fi t. Services and generally consumption is strong is because employment is still growing in germany wages are growing rather quickly and this keeps up domestic demand so its really a divided economy strong domestic consumption demand weaker exports and weaker manufacturing. Briefing as opposed to whats your personal view you talk so a lot of you look at a lot of Business Indicators do you share the doom and gloom. I think this is a Fair Assessment in particular there are concerns about the future of manufacturing for germany manufacturing is very important and we need to make sure that there is a positive future for the Automotive Industry which is in the big process of restructuring we need to make sure that there is a pose a positive future generally for industry in germany in the face of digitization so there are some challenges ahead in the medium term im optimistic i think that German Companies will cope with this change but it would be important that economic
policy does its part and tries to improve Investment Conditions as well a lot of work for berlin there thank you very much claimants foods president of the for institute. Japans softbank is to invest nine hundred Million Euros or a billion u. S. Dollars in the troubled Financial Technology company why its called the german specializes in providing Electronic Payments was a rising star of germanys Fin Tech Sector but has been shaken was series of Financial Times articles that made allegations about this Angel Peroration soft bank which has a Robotics Division will gain a state of more than five percent. Its been called the booze in frankfurt that cant have left investors unimpressed absolutely. Caught up more than ten percent this wednesday obviously the markets believe that you know this large investment by soft bank will make it more difficult for short
sellers to bet against why i remember up until the Easter Holiday the german finance or authorities had put a ban in place against short selling why a card shares which is a strategy to bet on a Falling Share Price now after this battle was over of course many people on the markets had believed that the short sellers might come back but this large investment by soft bank now is a big statement it means basically theres a strong and kerr investor at the side of why a cut and that makes of course betting on a lower share price of why a cut much more risky and much more improbable why it is part of the docks now we look in there at the creation of a new national champion. Well obviously we do not have that many large fin tags here in germany and you know soft banks soft bank or its own mr
