But there are questions over where the funding will come from as stefan legge lecturer in economics at the university of st. Gallen explains. it is unclear how this money will come together, the eu doesntjust have 300 million to spend. We need to see the details of these sources.

The moment the European Union supports certain Investment Projects then the private sector will fill in a lot of that 300 million budget. There are countries waiting for the money back to the eu wants to spread its values.

Pakistan International Airlines says it has cancelled more than 300 flights in the past 10 days as it struggles to pay for jet fuel. The cancellations, both domestic and international, have left thousands of passengers stranded. The company is facing its worst crisis in history with the state oil company refusing to supply any more fuel over unpaid bills. Our pakistan correpondent, caroline davies, has the details. Its not a big surprise or new information that this organisation has been struggling financially but this is particularly difficult circumstances right now, things have taken a turn for the worse in the last week or so. It has now cancelled 322 flights over the last ten days. I was told this could rise to 340 by this evening, most are domestic flights but some are also international. We understand the issue to be that a week ago, just over a week ago, the state oil company that supplies this organisation with their oil would no longer be supplying it unless it was paid up unless these bills are paid upfront to more fuel will be supplied. The organisation has struggled with this they cannot make these payments and therefore they cannot take off. We also had this confirmed from the organisation earlier, this is because of their financial challenges and this gives you an overview of what the issues are here. The reason they dont have fuel is because they have cash flow issues and enormous amounts of debt. We understand that they are trying to get banks in pakistan to lend to them and the company is about to be privatised. They might find many in the short term but either the lack of a short term plaster. Lets turn our attention to hong kong now which has announced a number of creative intitatives to boost its local economy. The government will offer hand outs of 2,500 thousand dollars to parents of newborns and ease stamp duties on some home sales. Our Asia Business correspondent, nick marsh. Has more details. This is a pretty frank admission from the hong kong authorities that things are not going well economically. In the long term, youve got the issue of the decrease in the workforce, throves of hong kongers have been leaving the city ever since the pro democracy protests and then the subsequent crackdown with the National Security law and then youve got the issue of Foreign Workers and companies, they have not exactly been replacing those workers leaving due to three really tough strict years of zero covid. So now the government has decided that they are going to give every family 2500 for every new baby born. In terms of the Foreign Workers and foreign companies, they are changing the rules to make it easierfor companies to relocate to hong kong. They are slashing the stamp duty to make it easierforforeigners to buy property in hong kong. If you have got a special talent visa, a lot of those go to people from mainland china, you wont have to pay any stamp duty at all. So an admission of an economic problem, obviously this isnt the end for hong kong, its still asias largest financial market. When you consider that here in singapore the government has just doubled its Stamp Duty Due to the huge amount of people who have been relocating from hong kong to hear, pushing up the house prices it does give you an idea of the sheer scale of the task ahead for hong kong.
