Hole in the wall, cashpoint or atm whatever you call it, it is celebrating its 50th birthday. Our eights days numbered . Butare birthday. Our eights days numbered . But are its days numbered . A very warm welcome to business life. If chinas premier warned the World Economic forum that fairness is essential or else people will feel left behind. After the usa, china is the worlds second largest economy, with a value of the 11 trillion. It accounts for almost 15 of what the world produces each year, but it is home to 19 of the worlds population, almost one in five and with the number of people increasing, so too are its cities, in size and number. A brand new eco city xiongan will house 2. 5 million people. It is home to several unicorns, that is Companies Worth over 1 billion. Some of the best known names with global ambitions are start up businesses worth over 10 billion. Lets cross to our Asia Business correspondent karishma vaswani, who is in singapore. The Chinese Premier has been speaking in the last couple of hours tell us what he said about chinas economy. The Big Focus For China at the World Economic forum, the break face of china to the world, appears to be achieving the countrys stated growth targets. The premier said that china can contain any of the risks that have been so well publicised about its economy. It can achieve those growth targets. I am talking about the massive amounts of public and private debt that china has, worth more than 250 of gdp, figures that are very scary for most developed economies, let alone china, which is still in the midst ofa china, which is still in the midst of a big transition. Speaking at the World Economic forum, the premier dismissed those concerns and said that chinas economy remained steady and had seen improving momentum as it moved to a more domestic focused policy. The premier said that Growth Forecast is realistic, but he did point to the difficulties ahead in ensuring that everybody is included in this rapid pace of growth. Lets listen to what he had to say. Translation globalisation is changing our world with unprecedented speed and depth, which has provided limitless opportunities for all economies. However, has provided limitless opportunities forall economies. However, if inadequate measures are taken, it might create a problem of lack of inclusive growth. In other words, it will create a problem of fairness. For example, some people will benefit more than other groups, and Traditional Industries and jobs may feel the impact. Traditional industries and Jobs May Feelthe impact. There Traditional Industries and jobs may feel the impact. There seems to be a big focus on tech, and it is a long standing ambition for China To Bea Long Standing Ambition for china to be a world leader in that field. Indeed, and many other big names from asia that have become Household Names that us, this has become a really important part of the remarkable transformation in china. Lets not forget that over the last 30 years, china basically turned into the factory of the world, lifted incomes and Living Standards for people across the country, and made goods much cheaper than the rest of us. It is trying to do the same thing when it comes to technology, and i think that ambition will be played out in the coming decades. What would the Chinese Premier be satisfied with at the end of this World Economic forum . I think for many of them are murderers about china going forward, the fact that a lot of analysis has gone into the idea that there is going to be a hard landing. What china really ca res going to be a hard landing. What china really cares about is the social contract it has with its people. We have had this massive Economic Transformation of the last 30 years, but that has lifted Living Standards for people at home. For this to continue, you really need to see inclusive growth, not this huge gap between rich and poor that every day appears to be getting wider range china, which is why there is been this onus on cracking down on corruption. There has been. It is a Big Yearfor The Premier and there isa a Big Yearfor The Premier and there is a Big Party Congress at the end of the year, so he has to show that the economy is running well and that people at home are satisfied, so i think that will be a key thing to come out of this forum. Thank you very much for that analysis. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. Western digital has told the bbc that they have resubmitted their bid for toshibas nand flash memory unit. The offer is understood to be in region of 18bn which is the same as the one from a consortium backed by the japanese government, which toshiba last week announced as its preferred option.

Nissan says it paid its Chief Executive carlos ghosn around 10 million in the year ended march, up 2. 5 percent from the previous year. Mr ghosn, whos One Of The Best paid auto executives, received a separate salary of 7. 89 million last year as the head of renault, nissans automating alliance partner. He stepped down as nissan Chief Executive at the end of march, but remains chairman of the japanese company. Lets look at how the markets are doing. Japanese stocks edged towards two year highs on tuesday. Exporters benefited from a strong dollar, shares in toyota, panasonic and canon were all up.

Theres a general sense of caution in financial markets, according to analysts, noting that commodities like crude oil, which is suffering from a glut, remained shaky though, that said, it has stabilised, and the recent selloff has stalled. A slight lack of direction on wall street at the end of monday trading, the s p500 and dow closed fairly flat. What does today have in store .

There was a dip in the gold price of 1. 5 yesterday tell us gold price of 1. 5 yesterday tell us why and explain what fat fingered trade means. It means that the market has aggressively given as a price move. What happens is, there are various orders in the system that immediately get filled and the price moves back very aggressively. We call it a fat finger, which probably means somebody made a mistake. Literally, their finger is too fat and they have gone to press wonky and hit another one. Too fat and they have gone to press wonky and hit another onem too fat and they have gone to press wonky and hit another one. It could have been that, or an extra zero, perhaps. Somebody somewhere is probably pretty embarrassed. When you do that. Sorry, but when you do that, i can imagine the horror if you had done that. Is there anyway to pull it back . It is likely someone to pull it back . It is likely someone is out of money somewhere. The system has a lot of trade stored up, so as the system has a lot of trade stored up, so as soon the system has a lot of trade stored up, so as soon as a the system has a lot of trade stored up, so as soon as a certain price is hit, they get filled. Someone is very sadly probably out of pocket. You would think the system would detect unusual activity and flag it up detect unusual activity and flag it up before it is too late. The systems do have various safety nets all over the place, but you do sometimes see the sort of movement. We saw it with sterling not so long ago, with the gold market seven or eight years ago. It still happens. Today, we will hear from two big important people, the head of the Federal Reserve and the governor of the bank of england. What we expect to hear . The Federal Reserve have been saying that they will raise Interest Rates this year, and three times next year, and they will start addressing their massive Balance Sheet which is a result of quantitative easing, by the end of this year. But the market is not convinced because the Economic Data in the us has been mixed, particularly in relation to inflation. The Market Expectation is that inflation will decline. This is why the market is not convinced, but the head of the Federal Reserve has insisted that inflation will rise as unemployment comes down. We will see. Thank you for the analysis.

Well, our next company does just that with their range of unique Activity Backpacks for children. Founded in 2009 by two Working Mums Gill Hayward and kellie forbes, yuubag has a simple concept.
