I think. Investors drop saudi stocks in light of the caution case and the last of the big Foreign Companies pulls out of a key Investment Summit in riyadh officials are scrambling. Just one notch above junk status a Credit Ratings downgrade for italy but other markets actually worry. Joe kayser the c. E. O. Of german industrial giant siemens announced today that hell pull out of the davos in the desert now thats the massive Investor Conference set to begin this week in riyadh move may not be a surprise in the wake of the suspected murder of journalist jamal shogi but for kaiser and his company its not an easy one. Preparations are well underway the mood though is muted said his future Investment Initiative a conference known by some as davos and the desert kicks off in riyadh on tuesday
but the number of participants is dwindling delicious Business Leader to pull out at the event is this man seaman c. E. O. Joe kayser he announced his withdrawal following pressure to respond to allegations of saudi involvement in the killing of journalist jamal to shoot a turnaround to this last week when qasr said he was still planning to attend in a statement posted on his linked in profile he said i will not attend the future Investment Initiative twenty eighteen its the cleanest decision but not the most courageous one and its not a decision against the kingdom or its people its a decision based on how much responsibility one can assume at one time for now the truth must be found and justice must be served. Cases one of several Business Leaders who find themselves in a moral quandary in the run up to the saudi conference but the wording of his statement especially his eagerness not to condemn his would be host its
a reminder that for Many Companies this is primarily a tradeoff between profits and p. R. He joins us now yes american firms were much quicker to pull out of this conference days ago it likely wasnt an easy decision for them either so whats at stake for a business. Like this. Well if you look at Silicon Valley for instance saudi investors are among the biggest investors into a u. S. Take start ups in Silicon Valley but you also have a couple of Big Tech Names being engaged in a multibillion dollar deal in saudi arabia and then u. S. President donald trump repeatedly talks about a possible One Hundred Ten Billion Dollar arms deal with saudi arabia the president also claims that One Hundred Thousand couple of Thousand Hundreds Of Thousands of
jobs here in the United States are at stake in the Defense Industry even if experts are skeptical if those numbers are. Too high but investor respect a lot seems to be at stake for u. S. Business. Lets move away from saudi arabia for a moment the coming week is a big one for investors with some Major Companies reporting their earnings telling what are investors looking for. Their wall street is eager to hear what effect for example the higher tariffs might have fun you as a business is if the stronger dollar is. Hurting some of their sales and then also we have higher commodity costs Higher Oil Prices so there is one big question that wall street is having when we get numbers from Companies Like boeing Ford Harley Davidson or caterpillar just to name a few and then also we had specially early on this year tech stocks on quite
a run that has slowed a bit lately and we will get numbers from Companies Like alphabet Amazon Microsoft intel so its really a heavy and very important week when it comes to earnings here on wall street. Our financial correspondent in new york thank you yes. Italy is in the e. U. To stay thats the message of Prime Minister josep a contact who says his country wont leave the European Union but that it will stick to its deficit hike thats despite criticism from brussels contrary argues the economy needs a lift of the Blocks Biggest member state germany has warned rome to be careful with debt and moodys has recently cut italys Credit Rating. Italys Prime Minister has defended the deficit busting budget insisting his country needs a new approach to stimulating the economy because previous efforts have failed in the Second Quarter growth slowed to its weakest pace in nearly two years in. The middle of
a Big Market Draft as well constructed and well formed the provisions for growth are very good in respect to what we are doing at the moment the. County has pledged that next years deficit wont exceed two point four percent of g. D. P. But thats triple the previous governments forecast the italian leader said it would fall below two percent by Two Thousand And Twenty One and he charan t. That the National Debt to g. D. P. Ratio would decline as well he also dismissed any suggestion that italy would leave the European Union or the euro zone. Read my lips. No chance no way to get it alexy theres no way to get out. Many Italian Support runs tough stance against brussels and hope the increased spending will help kick start the economy. And i think all the election promises were kept so they did just fine even keeping their stance with europe
which i think is the fundamental battle. By your home and not your pay i think that europe does not have to tell us what we have to do. Because they are prejudiced against us the Stopping Comparison to other European Countries are enough to confidently expect a yes the president. On tuesday the European Commission is set to discuss and decide the next steps in the procedure for assessing italys proposed budget for next year. Now for more on this topic were joined by dr John Whittaker an economics researcher and professor at Lancaster University in the u. K. And dr Whitaker Italy says it wont be and brussels rejection of its budget but what leverage does bustles really have in this case. Well look at the downs of the rules known as the Stability Pact which has been around right since the beginning of the euro and we start trying to strengthen and change its name and those sorts
of tricks to try and make it work but the Stability Pact has always been short of teeth that it doesnt bite the ultimate sanction has always been to find the country is running excessive deficits but no fine is ever been imposed and indeed we have all the crazy things to do to find a country that is in Budget Troubles so they try to rely on lots of surveillance and socalled successive Deficit Procedure makes it sound all sinister but if the Stability Pact works at all its probably by causing reputational damage to a country that looks if it is running in a budget thats too great well what about Market Pressure in this case we know that moodys has downgraded italys Credit Rating what does that mean exactly and what kind of pressure does that put on italys government well it does in the sense that its been raising the yields on its own in the telling Government Budget that telling governments bones that out about three and a whole percent of something which is i think its
a four or five year high if that creeps up a great deal more the danger is then that the taliban government will find its difficult to borrow. Thats a very bad position that reminds one of greece when greece was merely leaving the euro in Two Thousand And Fifteen if the government can borrow well looks very much towards that it might have to abandon the euro and go back to his lira now we know the Deficit Spending is not unheard of especially when trying to stimulate an economy so why do analysts in this case look so concerned when they are speak in such concerned manner when they look at the italian budget. Well you know you can make an argument for a government to do most men thing or you can make an argument for government to do less spending and in both cases the objective could be to bring down the governments debt. Stimulus you have thats what the Italian Government is arguing but the rest of the European Union and indeed other commentators seem to think
thats the moment rogo for it and then i suppose its all given its reputation even before he joined the euro the government there kind of reputation for spending too much and how big inflation may join the euro is to spend too much but it Couldnt Have Inflation even though ended up with that its a little being the limit during your country since the beginning of reputational problem people think that its and his finances are going to get out of control.
