Japan is aity says better bet than the United States. Rishaad you are back with trending business. Consumer is said to be the key driver of growth this year. That is according to fidelitys global survey. Great to see you. Rely on the American Consumer to drive global growth. We used to be surprised by the strength of the American Consumer. Past, is the days of yo there ever a return . The globalvey shows economy is all about the consumer, whether the u. S. , china, asia. It is the consumer which is driving good Company Performance. Rishaad we have not seen that in the states like we did before. What will be the trigger to get them to spend more . They are spending, slowly, coming back. Global growth is lower than it used to be and we will have to get used to that, but the consumer is still the driver and spending is coming through. The latest numbers from the u. S. Are positive on consumer sentiment. The u. S. Consumer is still there. Rishaad were just not seeing the exponential growth. Correct. We need to accept the world is a Slower Growth place than it was before the Global Financial crisis. Rishaad china trying to reoriented its a economy towards the consumer, that will take time. The numbers are stunning in terms of growth. This rebalancing from fixed Asset Investment to consumption in china is also taking place. It is taking place slower than most people would like, including the government, but it is happening and we are seeing the transition. That is positive. In china, it is all about the consumer and the new economy sectors. The sectors where companies are reporting good financial conditions, Good Business conditions, and it is the old economy where companies are reporting tough business conditions. Rishaad which is why we should be looking on the service side rather than concentrating on the manufacturing. I totally agree. It is easy to make the bear case on china. Manufacturing pmis are one of the things that people focus on, but nonmanufacturing pmis have been in positive territory for a long time and that part of the economy is growing strongly. People often rely on old Economic Indicators, because that is what china used to be about. But china is now about value added manufacturing, and it is about consumption, the internet, service sectors, education, health care, insurance, etc. There is one country where the consumer has been so poor in terms of spending, years of deflation, shrieking population, aging population, and of course im referring to japan. Its interesting because it came top in our survey he got the best score in terms of conditions because abenomics is having real traction in corporate governance. Companies are getting better, paying attention to returns on capital, paying attention to paying money back to shareholders in the form of dividends, paying attention to board structures. Rishaad what about the consumer . In japan, we dont need to rely on the consumer in the same way because we are seeing Company Performance getting better. We havent been as rely on the consumer. The thing that has been a big driver in japan is the chinese consumer. The chinese have been buying all kinds of products in japan. Rishaad we didnt get to talk to about that sales tax hike next year, but another time. It is 9 18 a. M. In singapore. The stories making headlines around the world.

Ministerese prime cant seem to get a break, on top of disappointing news from the economy, the one part that abenomics ised by about to turn sour. Topix has not had a great year. Indicator hascal now surged past the 120 level that some traders say indicates that shares or poised to fall. To 130ay, it edged close , currently 124, still above the overbought level. It does not bode well for prime ministers shinzo abe. Helpedicies may not have spur economic growth, but at least he could say that stocks were doing well. This could now be about to change. We have seen Economic Indicators in japan have been a mix at best. We can see today, this morning, we saw japan industrial output falling again, plunging 6. 2 on a month. Now Industrial Production year , ayear is also falling 1. 5 third consecutive month of declines. Plunging intolso the red again. Despite the challenging shinzo abe held off on announcing a new set of still is measures for japan. Yesterday, parliament passed a 850 billion budget for fiscal year 2016 and shinzo are based best way for the economy to move forward shinzo abe said the best way to move forward would be to implement that as quickly as possible. He has sent instructions to the finance minister. Shinzo abe, despite all these challenging Economic Indicators, plans to go ahead with that sale , a tax hike plan for next year hike from 8 tax to 10 . Remember the last time they hiked taxes, the economy plunged. In the final three months of 2015, gdp contracting, so that will be a new challenge for shinzo abes administration. Rishaad thanks.

The three chinese lenders who listed last year in late 2015 when we started to see that ipo ban lifted, theyve done quite well despite a rocky start. More than nowng what their ipo listing was, one stock up 27 since december. Investors who have bought into these two banks today will be hoping that their ipos do the same and continue to rise in the coming days, weeks, and months. Rishaad thanks. Lets discuss the prospects for those banks and the prospects overall for ipos. When you make of the timing . Is that a horrible start to the year . Its not just hong kong. The global ipo market is not doing well. About the worried Interest Rates, the u. S. Interest rate, the drop of oil price, the devaluation of the , so this market is not good for the Hong Kong Ipo market. Rishaad why now . It is only march. You do see signs of the oil price rebound, the renminbi stabilizing, and the u. S. Saying they will only increase the Interest Rate two times this year. All this is improving market sentiment. Rishaad what does it tell us about the market in hong kong . These are the first to bring major ipos this year. You can understand why. Market, the peak season is always in the fourth quarter. The First Quarter were not good. We will see some better market sentiments. Because of the chinese government, they have stabilize the market stabilize the the market. Reduce soely all this will have to rishaad that may well happen. Thing, loosening Monetary Policy to get the economic wheels turning still, but what about a u. S. Interest rate hike on the other hand . How does that play into this . We believe that the increase of Interest Rates will not be quick, very slow. Particular, maybe just one time. We believe that it will only increase one or two times. Forelieve that will be good hong kong and asian markets. Rishaad getting back to todays two debuts, does it mean that other banks were also need to broaden their capital base as they deal with the debt levels . Absolutely. Are alreadyready broadening the capital. More than half the fundraising in hong kong comes from financial institutions, so we believe this trend will continue. The Financial Industries will dominate the ipo market. Rishaad lets get back to the overall hong kong market. People havent described this link as being an unqualified success with shanghai. It is very much a qualified one. In what way does it need to change to improve the market here in hong kong . All, how to use the hope that in the future the connection will be able to expand to the ipo market, so people can and Mainland China or hong kong by for the ipo. Rishaad there are a lot of reforms that need to be undertaken. Does hong kong retained its position as the number one place this year . , then hongssumption kong will maintain its position, top position. Rishaad great to have you on the program.

China is tightening its grip on the internet, drafting new laws they could ban the two most popular web domains. Tom mackenzie is here in the studio having a look. What is the proposition . New proposals on the table from the chinese government, inectively another weapon the arsenal of sensors. Namewould make domain users registered with the government. They would have to register with the Government Ministry before they could provide content, if it is domestically provided content. Proposals at the moment down to thegoes local Authority Level to make that final decision, doesnt it . Under the auspices of the Central Government in beijing, and this is part of a tightening of the media environment in beijing. Weve seen that with president xi jinping visiting state run media and telling them to toe the party line. Rishaad what is the read through for internet users, less choice, i suppose .

Powered by over 2400 journalists and 150 bureaus around the world, this is bloomberg news. Indias biggest chicken suppliers are coming under scrutiny for the use of antibiotics. Are raising concerns that their uncontrolled use on farms is turning animals into reservoirs of hard to kill bacteria. A reporter for south asia joins us from new delhi now. Your investigation found antibodies are used routinely on indian chicken farms. This is deeply alarming, is it not . It is. Its alarming on so many levels. One thing you have to keep in is that more of these antibiotics are used in agriculture than they are in humans. Often times we are talking about the same drugs that you and i rely on to treat diarrhea, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, so why is is alarming . On one level, the kind of drugs being used, like something you might put on in your travel bag when you come to india. The second reason is because of the way the drugs are used, creating ideal conditions to spawn a superbug, low levels, repeatedly, used when they are not necessary to prevent disease before it happens. Increase means is you the risk of the superbugs developing on these farms around these animals, then the same superbugs getting into the environment, and what we have seen in the past was superbugs is that they are incredibly mobile. Within hours, they can get out of india via a traveler traveling to canada, america, our europe, and be in another country. We have seen a lot in the west with consumer pushback against antibiotics. That is also a concern, but it is actually not the bigger concern. The bigger concern is what is happening on these farms, the superbugs developing, getting off the farms, whether it is through the chicken you by that arrives at the market or whether it is transmitted by the farmhand, or maybe washed out when theyre cleaning out the chicken coops and it getting into the vegetable patch next door. What sort of companies are we talking about involved . It is a Global Supply chain. Many of the Company Names you and i would recognize. The pharmaceutical Companies Applying these drugs are Major Companies like bayer. These drugs are supposed to be sold under prescription. Often times in india, they are not. They are used on these farms that sell the chickens to indias biggest chicken companies, a supermarket we are are all buying in this year for the import the chickens to the middle east, japan, and in turn also supplying major customers like kfc and mcdonalds. , twoad the thing is questions in one, who is most at risk and what is india doing to stop this and control the use of antibiotics and livestock . Who is most at risk . The point where trying to get across in our story is everybody is at risk. This is not an india problem. ,e it is happening in india hygiene issues, lack of controls, it is a bigger issue here than other countries. On ance you get a superbug farm in india, it can get to anywhere in the world, and we have seen that in the past with other superbugs. Within years, they were found 2030 countries around the world , and that means a common infection that you thought you could once treat with a drug in your travel pack is no longer useful. Strike home that point even more on the head, we saw nine drugs being used on about a dozen firms we visited in south india. Among those drugs are some of the last resort drugs available in human medicine to treat the most perilous infections, newborn babies dying of bloodstream infections that literally only one drug can help them. That rishaad im sorry were cutting it short. We have to take a break. Thank you so much. We have to take a break and look at the battle over personal security next. Were looking at the winners and losers in that fight between apple and the fbi. The justice departments case against apple has been dismissed after the fbi said it broken into the killers iphone by a third party. Our columnist joins us now from taipei. Where does this leave these two . A draw. Ly, it is apple wanted their day in court because they wanted to be able to go out and say that we should write anorced to operating system for one phone. Side, the fbi one of their day in court because they felt they had a strong argument to compel apple to do that. If there was a day in court, the result could have set precedent, important for both sides, but it was a draw. On the legal side, no one was a winner. Commercially in the wider perspective, Security Companies play both sides of the field and were one of the winners. Semantic and fire i, big in the cyber security, knowing that the hacked, and not be old iphone using an old operating system could be hacked eventually by the fbi. The fbi said that they cant hack it. It was not possible. They announced they did it, possibly with some help. If you are in the security industry, that would be good for you. Rishaad thank you.
