it really is a sense of confidence. we know that households are wealthy, the saving rates of 35— 37%. there are some areas of the employment market, such as youth unemployment, we need to be mindful of, but in general it is a sense of getting things back to normal and of domestic demand picking up and this is really what the policy, whether it is related to interest rates of political policy, is trying to underpin. i of political policy, is trying to underpin.— to underpin. i wanted talk about japan. _ to underpin. i wanted talk about japan, because - to underpin. i wanted talk about japan, because we | to underpin. i wanted talk. about japan, because we will getting some gdp figures out on tuesday. what are you expecting?

i immigration policy to change? i think again today's economic climate with such incredibly tight labour market i think any policy that will make it harder for people to come to new zealand won't be the most popular policy. but looking further beyond the pandemic, there is a case to be made to improve the quality of labour that we are importing. we have heavily relied on overseas relatively cheap overseas labour, but that has prevented employers and firms here from innovating and implementing new technologies. they think there was a report recently done when new zealand reigned around 26 out of 37 oecd countries and spending on research and development. so think there is a case to be made make migration focused really on attracting those top and skills entrepreneurial migrants to come to new zealand to boost productivity. iinstill come to new zealand to boost productivity-— productivity. will new zealand chan . es productivity. will new zealand changes interest _ productivity. will new zealand changes interest rates - productivity. will new zealand changes interest rates later. changes interest rates later this week?

well, they have to be just as cheap and just as reliable.— and “ust as reliable. there is no and just as reliable. there is no infrastructure _ and just as reliable. there is no infrastructure for - and just as reliable. there is no infrastructure for it - and just as reliable. there is no infrastructure for it to - no infrastructure for it to convert electric, and then the moment said and what about battery not included? what if you are able to sell the vehicle without the battery, reducing the cost of the vehicle by 30—a0 present. this vehicle by 30-40 present. this is the really — vehicle by 30-40 present. this is the really clever _ vehicle by 30—40 present. this is the really clever and unique thing about this system, when you buy one of these bikes it doesn�*t have any battery in it, and that makes it cheap. instead, you subscribe to the company�*s batteries and when it gets low you just come to a charging station like this one and switch it out for a fresh one. there are more than 10,000 of these charging stations across taiwan, with more than a million of these batteries in them, and that should mean goodbye to range anxiety. if the vehicle has a hundred kilometre range i can and a 50 than 50 back, which means you have a tether on your neck wherever you go, that is not a solution. we are solving for range anxiety, and at the same time you can hop from a point—to—point. time you can hop from a point-to-point.- time you can hop from a point-to-point. this could be the answer — point-to-point. this could be the answer to _ point-to-point. this could be the answer to zero _ point-to-point. this could be the answer to zero emissionsj the answer to zero emissions personal transport for many of asia�*s used megacities. and for this taiwan start—up, the next stop is india. that�*s rupert wingfield—hayes that unit taipei. before we go, mark zuckerberg has said elon musk isn�*t about holding a cage fight and it�*s time to move on. in a post on his social media site threats, the matter boss said he had offered elon musk a real day but the rival gemona had made excuses. however, mr musk early on sunday suggested on his messaging site x, formerly known as twitter, he was willing to fight as early as next the millionaires builyan has agreed to about injune, with huge tension, the rivals have yet to secure a date, raising doubts the fight will ever go on. that is all we have for you on asia business report. i�*m monica miller. thanks for watching. voice-over: bbc news, - bringing you different stories from across the uk. this meeting injuly was supposed to be an opportunity for birmingham city council to tell residents about their plans for a £2 billion regeneration of their area, ladywood, but it descended into farce as hundreds were locked outside. the residents feel left in the dark about the plans, especially the fact that the council has sanctioned the use of compulsory purchase orders, giving them powers to force people out. i want something for my family and friends and children that�*s going to grab on and we are going to stick them, they are going to be just pushed away and forgot?
