Day by day there are more signs of life returning to the streets of who province with the corona Virus Outbreak began the simple act of police removing a roadblock was a welcome sight for residents and the government which wants to get the country moving again the industrial engine which led china to become the 2nd largest economy in the world is also restarting after a disastrous 2 months which saw output collapse companies are gradually recovering their general production the situation for factories and business and hiring is improving and the labor demands will continue to increase as the number of new infections in china decreases just 16 recorded on sunday the government expects the economic progress to significantly improve this month but with the outbreak bringing other countries to a halt demand for chinese exports will take some time to recover.

There was looks to be over in terms of domestic demand surely then you know sure the numbers today were pretty shocking sharing show of force in your new exams with infection rates in china now forming shoppy there are signs that the economy that is improving will be very gradually the flipside of that course is that while the domestic outlook in china is improving the external one as overseas go a lot worse with infection rates rising across the world and the restrictions being put in place on Economic Activity explore some china are going to set up shop in the economy although probably it will recover will be very slow to rebound right and the and the the. Sort of the general feeling in the analysis that were getting is that we are in a global downturn right now how much worse can it get and how high are the risks for a global recession. So i think were almost certainly in a global recession now if you look at the data indicates is that we track if you dont whats happening to tourism hospital how is he reached how theyre all in a deep slump and that alone will be enough to push the Global Economy into recession the big question the big challenge for policymakers is to ensure that this recession does not into a financial crisis which is why youve seen the big action that weve seen over the past couple of days in terms of the fed session race introducing curios to the package and bank of england and other Central Banks and the key goal now is to ensure that the Financial System remains functioning and the otherwise Healthy Companies are able to make it through this crisis yeah and when they found this law saying its race day rates to 0. What happens then do they have other tools that they can use or or have they played all their cards. This theres other tools that they can use they can use courts to be saying they can use this kind of helicopter drop money whereby the government increases spending and the fed funds it by by cinci printing money i think though the point you make is the Central Banks their policy tools they are coming to an end and its really up to fiscal policy so Government Spending to keep going to mend the economy and i think what youll see over the next few days now is governments really stepping up to the plate and announcing big fiscal stimulus packages to ensure that their economies keep going throughout the crisis and that you were mentioning this just a moment ago about airlines and obviously airlines right across the globe making unprecedented cuts and to their cost as well as their staffing and what is your analysis and outlook for the Airline IndustryGoing Forward well yes oh sure the Airline Industry is being incredibly hard by this seeing over the last few days the huge number of flights that theyve laid off and it appears given the the measures the government announced across the pool that these these layoffs are going to last for quite some period of time and its almost certain theyre going to government help them and government help will be forthcoming after all this crisis will hopefully eventually end some point and the Global Economy governments need a different thing on service so theyll be theyll be given support and make sure that they can make it through the crisis and think all right we thank you very much hank aaron father for joining us from london thank you now canada has Just Announced that its closed thats warders to all foreign travelers as it works to contain the virus Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau says any citizen showing symptoms of the illness will not be allowed to board a flight home we will be to canada to people who are not canadian citizens or permanent residents this measure will carve out some designated exceptions including for air crews diplomats immediate family members of canadian citizens and at this time u.
