So lets talk about that with our Financial Market correspondent what about in frankfurt and andrea hang in singapore hello to both of you and id like to start with you ali its a damning study there by why what are the main factors for German Companies like in behind. It sounds horrible when you look at the naked results that it is presenting there but you know when they look at the percentage growth where germany is lagging behind most other places of course you have to realize that a leading export nation with lots of industry with lots of interests in china and in north america its highly affected by the trade conflict and already theres been a downturn in sentiment affecting investment infecting incoming orders and so germany being that export dependent more than many other places in the world you see those traces in the Balance Sheet and the profit and loss statement and turnover figures and lastly also with a profits in the number 2 is that when you look at the very Biggest Companies in the world units like amazon apple alpha bit the google mother or son song theyre underway in Internet Computers electronic Consumer Electronics and yes germany has missed the boat on that theyre active in many tertiary areas that affect that in their big users of that technology but yes the americans the koreans the japanese partly have been better at using those Business Prospects and opportunities well if the convenes in the japanese are doing better under a or is it all down to the fact that Asian Companies are so strong because theyre mostly high tech. Well that is part of the reason monica is absolutely right now asia is home to some 50 percent of the worlds Fastest Growing companies and a lot of that has come from china and india as well many reasons for. Asia being dumped as the worlds fusses going economies as well as the walls manufacturing hub. Of course on the basic level consumer effluence is on the rise with middle income populations around the region. Central banks also and such as and governments are also lending deep support to local companies in order to push further into digital and sin Tech Industries as well now a lot of this also has to do with Central Banks adopting sophisticated monetary policies and laws in order to provide this support and indeed much the markets also lets not forget those as well a lot of Infrastructure Projects are being supported by financial such as b. And this for this financial it helps them sort of play a little bit of catch up with the rest of the world and they are catching up real fast andria i mean that is certainly Something Interesting for us to know what image the german corporates have in asia especially also compared to other european companies. Well youll be glad to know monica that i think by and large German Companies still hold a very high benchmark to Asian Companies so much so that asias power has not risen high enough in order to reach that benchmark even go further and wanting to potter up with German Companies now there are lots of examples of chinese acquisitions and partnerships mojos with German Companies as well as the rest of europe but lets not also forget a little Sleeping Giant thats been hanging by the side india is also a player to watch out for in the coming decades.

India is definitely someone to look out for and its a sign of things to come from this the largest economy in asia. I just have a very very brief question for ali we have half a minute only how big a blow is it in real terms for the German Economy how important are those companies. The Big Companies are important but the backbone of the German Economy with the most jobs in the most turn over the most taxes the most innovations are the small and Medium Sized Companies the middle stand thats a worldwide trademark and there are a lot of Companies Even if theyre smaller than the main source some some are apple or world market leaders in their field and theyre important to the growth of the others and germany has record employment and a very low unemployment so the companies that are active here are actually serving germany itself well its a no need to panic just yet thank you so much 0 votes in frankfurt and andrea hang in singapore.
