To be a multibillion china but also a german entrepreneur about being stuck in a lockdown in beijing and if the coronavirus will stare investors off for good. And after 2 decades of hacking there the safety and logistics then maybe i becomes the 1st african states which will make the United States. Good for the olympics or business africa is just not catching up on activity has remained at 12 percent of that in the United States for 2 decades growth just isnt enough to create jobs despite a surging middle class booming consumption and people flocking to urban centers a study by the African Union and o. E. C. D. Shows why. Every 5th african of working age starts a business thats a level of entrepreneurship unparalleled anywhere else in the world and those businesses are key to the continents future the study from the African Union and o. E. C. D. Reveals that 40 percent of all newly created jobs in africa or in companies that have fewer than 20 staff but how competitive are they.

Although a few big firms Like Ethiopian Airlines safari dot com were done go to have successfully tapped into the huge African MarketSmaller Companies still struggle to one Market Opportunities and there are many of those the study also says demand for consumer goods like food automobiles and other machinery in africa is higher than the global average. Model pezzini for the organization for Economic Cooperation and development how to unlock that potential when you are small for me you cannot by definition do everything inside so you buy outside and very often the outside is a close outside so what matters a lot is the local environment in which the for located if the local environment is good fine if not they would suffer in terms of productivity what i mean in. European countries in one kilometer youll find an accountant to den you can have a center for control of quality then you have a so i mean for the mission about fish and trains all those themes that for hours are common in africa are difficult to find despite the fact that the interpreters are many and they are working very hard every day but they have to feed these much a lot of program that we have forgotten just briefly what about startups today have the potential to drive productivity and innovation in africa always the top. No vetoes they entered in an environment that is already existing but in doing something new so of course they are in agent of change the problem is that we see is that in many cases they survived 3 years so the problem is how to make those initiative more stable but generally speaking the rate of interpreting should be enough flicka is the idea is the in the war if its in the thank you very much. Some economists warn the growth of virus could prove to be a Lehman Brothers moment saying the outbreak could see many firms pull out of china for good after realizing the fragility of supply chains the crisis is in factories shut down supply shortages border closures and travel bans as if the Global Tourism sector the drop in manufacturing in travel is depressing oil prices. A short while ago i spoke to german businessman whos just returned from beijing and i asked him what it was like to be stuck in lockdown in a ghost town. Well ive been through goldstones before 2003 i was a veteran of the sauce crisis and it was involved down what does different now that actually the shops and the restaurants are all down its like a panic particularly in beijing where i live which is hard to understand because we have 3 in a case as one mortality and we have 5000000 cars in the city you dont see them anywhere its ghost town which is frightening and my kids actually 8911 very concerned about this i mean its depressing frank you were stuck there for some time how did you get out now actually getting out is very easy just my 2nd trip leaving china but im like the 1st time when they came back now they put a new constraint on it i have to be put into current time because i come from germany in beijing when i return next week which is peculiar because in china you can get on the plane you get out here no current time. And you were planning to go back i believe. A crazy thought no i mean its particularly because i plan to go back tomorrow and now i cannot because i have another meeting in 6 often and another place of germany and so in a way i got told to stay put here and more than 14 days in germany im sort of ok need to go back to china dont have a care in time but my family my work is waiting and so i have to go back and possibly be self contained in current time to my house would you say these strange rules and practices a part of why this virus is spreading so quickly. I mean this is unprecedented never had a care in time green zone as it is i cannot understand why when you come from germany you have to be karen tie and i think is way over the top we have 2 different regions one is one and who we are which is really a war zone its absolutely cut their people are struggling and now we have been aging in shanghai the cities of 20000000 people and 300 cases so it fail to understand why this kind of. Locked up what about the Economic Impact there are economists today talking about this being a Lehman Brothers moment yeah the economy is going to take a major hit in the 1st Quarter Services is the major chunk and transportation 80 percent down will tells how close restaurants are closed and you know movies and everything so theres not much activity if at all. Manufacturing is partly coming back kind astris chemicals and so forth but the 1st quarter is basically gone now we have to see how they open up because even if you produce you have so many logistics nightmare isnt all to get those products from a to b. Youre running short on supply on packaging material and so forth the economy starters so it takes much longer than in 2003 to have a comeback story so a partial comeback but what about long term do you see companies deciding against china pulling out deciding to take their production elsewhere well 1st of all the biggest risk is not to be in china because the biggest growth story there is no 2nd china available and so for the companies they always have to keep in mind and this is the place to be but of course now i think china has been teaching a lesson that diversity as being part of the show either you diversify in china or you put it different places or you go to the region or possibly there will be a discussion in germany on industrial policy you know antibiotics the precursors are you know mongolia most of them do we really need this only there or do we want to have this here its going to be an interesting discussion but i think overall you cant avoid china you actually have to be just a vocal thank you very much thank you very much.
