Into the white house we look at his plans to improve the us economy. And the latest Growth Figures in china will be scrutinised under worries of a potential trade war. Hello and welcome to Asia Business report. The big day is finally here. Dan norton ups inauguration and the many he is a controversial person to move into the white house and there is a lot of uncertainty as to how presidency will impact the economy. This was the moment democrats hoped would put that in check after financial crisis that led to the worst us recession since the great depression, president obama and the American People were eager to see regulations that would put limits on bad behaviour and prevent us taxpayers from ever having to bail out the banks again. But republicans have been attacking dog frank since its inception saying it has gone too far. Now they are in power, scaling back some of those rules is finally in reach. Bank lending has been impeded. We have practically zero Interest Rate yet gross domestic investment is negative or barely rising. Gdp growth has not gone above 2 . Part of that reason is the overregulation. Although the Incoming Trump Administration Says it will dismantle it, what exactly that will look like is a big unknown but the hope of what is to come has banking stocks euphoric. Supporters worry what could happen if they are repealed. A signature part was created by paul. The Rock Provisions that hopefully can take care of things without disrupting the whole market. To the things without disrupting the whole iiie market. To stop the next crisis. The document is often criticised as an overly complicated one size fits all solution. With donald trump in his way to office, those regulations may be on the way out. The question then is whether or not it leaves the us exposed to yet another financial crisis. Rather unusually, us stocks fell ahead of the swearing in the remaining of donald trump. The longest Losing Streak since the election falling for a fifth straight day which is ironic when we saw mr trumps win in november had triggered a rally in us stocks. We we re triggered a rally in us stocks. We were looking at the key 20,000 level. What can we expect then in the next four years . Spoke to economists. The economy is in fine shape, unemployment is that only 4. 796 shape, unemployment is that only 4. 7 and as janet yellen said yesterday that is close to full employment and what trump is planning to do is cut taxes and raise spending on infrastructure in particular and if he does that, he will generate quite a lot of inflation and i think bond yields will generate quite a lot of infli rise and i think bond yields will generate quite a lot of infli rise sharply as lbond yields to the back to the labour issue, jobs coming back to the us we have had a lot of the rhetoric, particularly with the auto company changing their outlook and strategy in a way because of trumps push towards manufacturing in the us or else you face import tariffs. Is this all due to trump . The us will impose a Border Tax Adjustment and, in effect, will start Subsidising Exporters by exempting them from proper tax while ensuring that all important expenses will face attacks. This is supposed to be the equivalent of a vat. It is probably not compliant but if it does go through it will have a Chilling Effect on global trade it was the largest economy will be moving towards a protection is a fact.

Vigurs attempt to come in line with the official target so we are not really expecting any huge surprises. Data is expected to. Earlier i asked an economist in hong kong about it. There are always question marks about the official markets. From an investing point of view, we do not only focus on one data series, such as gdp. In the past, Government Officials were rewarded in terms of our Fast Province could grow and with the anticorru ption our Fast Province could grow and with the Anticorruption Campaign we saw a different shift in terms of how people are rewarded. Different m essa 9 es how people are rewarded. Different messages coming out from beijing and we will see the targeted gdp number come down gradually. You hurt me talking about donald trump as the next president and concerns that that tensions will mount with china with his protectionist style. He implements savea tariffs. The Global Trade Environment is quite fragile so trade environment is quite fragile so the World Trade Organisation estimated last year that trade only group1. 7 estimated last year that trade only group 1. 7 which is slower than gdp growth. If cant implement harsh penalties towards asian companies, the Knock On Effect will be towards the Knock On Effect will be towards the us consumer because the tariffs will be passed on from the company to the consumer and i doubt that is what he will want to see.

The fact that he won the election is not something that surprised or not surprise me but the fact that people are unsettled, not happy, wanting change, that is a very clear. But it is not just american change, that is a very clear. But it is notjust american voices expressing concern about the consequences of free trade. Expressing concern about the consequences of free tradelj personally think we cannot stop globalisation. There is no going back, it is in their and it will continue but i think we could definitely do it in a more conscious way, ina definitely do it in a more conscious way, in a more inclusive manner and our leaders should foster more inclusive than us and try to find the middle ground. What has become clear in the last few days in doubles is that companies desperately want to hang on to the benefits of globalisation but at the same time are governments 773111735557 7 w governments a iiifwww ww w towarefzffifw m, f towarefzf .

Surreys asking Council Taxpayers yes or no to a 15 increase for social care. I think its important that politicians stand up and Tell The Truth and be honest with the residents, and tell them what it costs to run these services. We have to pay for these services. Its not easy finding people here who are keen to pay what will be nearly £200 a year more on an average home, hi there. Good afternoon. The council want a 15 increase.

I cant afford to pay because my pension is frozen. More council tax to pay for social care. Do you fancy that . Yes or no. Erm. Im up for it.

Its not going to go away and we have to address it. The Labour Leader also agrees all taxpayers should bear the rising cost of social care. Its not right that we should thrust the social care crisis on local authorities, all of whom have Different Levels of income all over the country.
