Reversing the exodus pressure grows on the g20 to tackle the Migration Crisis, but is more investment in africa the answer . Plus, Making Motorists out of millennials how toyota plans to sell cars to the uber generation welcome to World Business report. Im rachel horne. Also coming up never mind the exploding phones, samsung says its on track for record quarterly profits. But first, we start in hamburg, germany where, as youve been hearing, leaders of the g20 group of the worlds top economies are gathering. High on the agenda, of course, concerns over free trade and the environment, after President Trump set the us on a more protectionist path and pledged to pull out of the paris Climate Change agreement. But for europe, equally pressing is the Migration Crisis. Record numbers of migrants from sub Saharan Africa have been heading into the eu increasingly across the mediterranean via italy, as this map shows. The final destination for many is germany, where migration related costs are projected to top 100 billion by 2020. Chancellor Angela Merkel has made it clear that she thinks other countries must shoulder more of the burden. Last year alone, germany saw almost 750,000 people apply for asylum. There are fears that Climate Change and poverty could drive millions more africans, in particular, to make the dangerous journey to europe. Look at these numbers and its not hard to see why. According to the world bank, the average income in sub Saharan Africa last year was 1,504. In the eu, it was 33,248. On thursday the Charity Amnesty International warned the human cost of migration is set to get worse. 2016 was the deadliest year on record on the Central Mediterranean route. 2017 has already seen a loss of life of over 2,000 and the death rate at the moment is even higher than the one we saw in 2016. We are at almost three people in every 100 losing their life in the mediterranean, trying to reach safety or a better life in europe. Also on thursday the head of the world bank, jim yong kim, joined frances president macron in pledging much more investment in africa to stem the flow of migration. 0ur Largest Investments will go into africa. We will be putting in a total of over 50 billion over the next three years into africa and we will work very closely with president macron. On many different levels, we need to invest in human beings but we also have to invest in creating a kind of private sector in these countries that will create the jobs that young people need so badly. That was the head of the world bank. Gervais williams is Managing Director at miton asset management. Thank you forjoining us this morning. 0bviously, thank you forjoining us this morning. Obviously, the Migration Crisis is a huge issue. What do you think the g20 can do . Crisis is a huge issue. What do you think the 620 can do . Its actually quite united on certain areas like the Korean Peninsula and terrorism but actually, theyre having quite a lot of difficulty with economic policy. Its been fairly consensual for 20 years but is now reaching a time where there are differences coming through. We heard from the world bank and president macron saying that one way to deal with this Migration Crisis would be more investment in africa, trying to increase productivity and wages. Do you think it would help . It would do. There has been a lack of productivity around the world for ten yea rs productivity around the world for ten years and this is what is leading the change in attitude, they are moving away from the consensus previously to bring in people like trump and others who have a different attitude but Going Forward you are right, the opportunities for africa to improve productivity and strike will fare relations there. 0ne Counter Argument is any initial investment in wages or productivity would the default give people the means to make the journey to europe. Of course thats true but actually if you get Economic Prosperity it also attracts more people to actually enter the workforce and stay at home so rising productivity, even low levels, drives wealth and it brings a nation together. Its not just financials, climate it brings a nation together. Its notjust financials, Climate Change will also be a major issue. Thats also a concern for the g20, President Trump is pulling out of the paris climate agreement. What can they do . Climate change will come through the respective because the changes we make point make any difference for another ten or 20 yea rs difference for another ten or 20 years there is little we can do about it in the short term and it would be a driver of economic migration but Going Forward particularly if we can get more product is, it will address it and give us more capital to invest with the Climate Change issues. The get there from Angela Merkel, she believes by 2020 the cost of Migrant Crisis to germany alone will be more than 100 million. Is it me more countries should shoulder that . Do you think she will be able to get agreement on what countries can help germany out . Even in europe there is differences coming through with some of the italians asking for help themselves so it will be difficult to get any consensus on that the foot can get more Economic Growth and productivity, it helps everyone. Thank you very much for your time. We are also in the us where japanese Car Giant Toyota is opening a new, billion dollar headquarters in dallas texas.
