To the u. S. Government shutdown after more than a month with air Traffic Controllers calling in sick flights were delayed or canceled at new yorks la guardia and other National Hubs then washington came through with a deal. An agreement between President Trump and democrats in congress with no money paid for a border wall and sure things will go back to normal federal offices will reopen as well National Parks workers will get paid and their relief. The shutdown was really traumatic for a lot of people and i think it put a lot of American Workers in a really challenging financial situation and i think that in the future i hope that shutdowns like this are avoided the family will be able to pay our bills will be able to hear anything you know the off the street and out begging for food. But the economic damage is done to shut down came over the white houses demand for five point seven billion dollars for a border wall now analysts standard and poors say the shutdown cost six billion dollars mostly due to lost productivity and weakened Economic Activity the council of economic advisors within the white house picks the cost even higher estimating a weekly loss of point one three Percentage Points of quarterly Gross Domestic Product according to their numbers the month long dispute could cost the economy about twenty six billion dollars and it could all get even more expensive the current agreement will last for three weeks it is unclear what happens then. Joining me now is our man on wall street yes carter welcome to the program. Varying estimates there in terms of just how much the shutdown will end up costing the American Economy how confident is the government that these costs will be recovered. Yeah at this point it is rather difficult to really put a price tag on the damage from the Congressional Budget Office we get the official numbers so to speak that the u. S. Economy might have been affected in the amount of eleven billion dollars alone in the First QuarterEconomic Growth could be heard by point four percent but overall estimates are that some of this money will flow back into the u. S. Economy mostly because governmental workers who did not spend their money might do so a bit later but from the Congressional Budget Office we hear that about three billion dollars might be lost for good and then we do not really know for example what happened to contractors who did not get any businesses from the government saw the damage at the end could even be a bit higher but right now estimates are that most of the lost money will flow back into the u. S. Economy just a bit later. And yet the end of the shutdown doesnt appear to have given any lift to u. S. Market was that well i mean in the first place weve seen that in the past that shutdowns hardly affected the economy in a broader scale ok now this is the longest shutdown in history still things might work ill do a bit different this time around but we did start the week on a weaker nold specially because all for Corporate News we got revenue warning from the chip maker in video that stock alone dropped by about twelve percent also cater piller out with Earnings Report that came in much lower than expected that stock by a good one percent and what those companies have in common is that both mentioned Slower Growth especially in china why business is not doing as good as hope for our financial correspondent and clark are there thank you for analysis.

Just over five months after greeces final exit from the years of bailout programs its getting ready to return to the bond markets it sets of issue a five year bond with a Maturity Date of april twenty twenty four zero greece isnt actually pressed for money from the bond markets at the moment but the bond sale represents a psychological milestone showing that the once beleaguered economy is normalizing. There are more and more signs that the economy is recovering in Greece Athens is now testing the bond market the goal is to raise about two to three billion euros according to the debt agency of the ministry of finance in the meantime the country has regained a solid cushion goalie. Everyone has begun to acknowledge that greece is a different country now. A country where the terms of the preconditions would have been created to finally leave the crisis and the reasons that created the crisis behind us. Move on because you seem business. In addition the greek Prime Minister announced that after years of reforms and austerity he would raise the minimum wage by eleven percent to six hundred fifty euros a month. From my point of view i think this move is the least we can do for workers who have suffered for those that during the crisis saw their wages being decreased or cut. The increase in the minimum wage is expected to go into effect at the beginning of february the first tangible improvement for workers in greece in more than eight years.
