And we start with europes powerhouse as it continues to slow the council of economic advisors to the German Government looks set to trim its growth forecast with 2022 nor 2. 9 percent of german daily reports ahead of the bodys official press conference later today and while the economists dont expect a broad and to deep recession they still suggest that berlin should to drop its fame to balanced budget policy critics have long blamed billons frugality for crumbling infrastructure and problems with nationwide high Speed Internet access for well lets cross over to our Financial Market correspondent Chelsea Delaney is standing by for us and there she is in frankfurt just lets 1st of all talk about those growth figures of north point 9 percent and germany be content with that. 0. 9 percent growth certainly is nothing to celebrate its also says to be even lower this year 0. 5 percent is the new forecast for 21000. 00 growth especially if you consider that and 20162017 germany was posting over 2 percent growth so theres definitely a slowdown and it doesnt look like its going to reverse that any time soon at the same time the German Government and a lot of economists are saying we dont really expect a full blown recession a financial crisis type slowdown here and thats one of the reasons that germany has given for being so hesitant to increase fiscal spending because they say were not at a crisis point yet so from berlin holding onto the money it has what else is weighing on bruce bracks it has certainly had an impact on on german exports that theyve seen a big slowdown and demand from the u. K. At the trade war between china and the us has also had a Global Impact on trade thats thats hurt germanys really export dependent economy another factor has been the complications and the Auto Industry and a slowdown and growth there and ahead of new emission standards there are some signs that the economy might be improving especially in the Manufacturing Sector today there was data that showed factory orders in September Rose about 1. 3 percent which is a lot better than people had expected so there is sort of optimism now that the economy might have bottomed out and and things will are going to be improving slightly from here a Silver Lining there on the horizon delivers boy Chelsea Delaney a financial monkey correspondent thank you so much. And i notice on the other Global Business stories making news. U. S. President donald trump talks a good talk about reducing americas dependence on foreign products but the latest report from the u. S. Commerce Department Says americas trade deficit is higher now than a year ago on an annualized basis and that demand for foreign products has actually been rising under trump whats more the u. N. Conference on trade and development in geneva says both china and the u. S. Are losing their trade war washingtons trade war with china continues to draw fire from other quarters as well theres a lot of people who have frustrations in the u. S. And europe about chinese policy and i think many of these are warranted in terms of intellectual Property Rights or force Technology Transfer or lack of reciprocity in trade investment i dont really think the way trump is approach these is the best way to deal with them i think there are efforts that you could make with the chinese that have their own interest in reducing some of these barriers so some will say the focus on china had been long overdue i think well have to see what he actually produces out of it because i think theres a better approach that approach might take into account americas overall appetite for goods from other countries the commerce Department Says though trade is declining with china the u. S. Is more than making up for it by buying from other nations some hand soon stand by for us in taipei were talking about a United Nations study that shows that both the u. S.

Manifesting from that trade was that true. Yes well its a shot on g. D. P. Growth of taiwan the 3rd quarter of 2900. 00 how is g. D. P. Growth is 2. 00 any one percent is a high is the only positive growth among the 4 asian tigers thats hong kong south korea and a single or so on because the trade diversion in fact many many factors move their production from china back to taiwan and domestic manufacturers are also using the existing queen as in many factors to adjust production proportions because of the trade war so theres really not a growth we can see here in taiwan all right so nancy there reporting from taiwan thank you so much.
