FRANCINE: GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. WELCOME TO OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM. I’M FRANCINE LACQUA LIVE FROM DAVOS. COMING UP, FRESH TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AS PAKISTAN CARRIES OUT STRIKES ON MILITANT GROUPS INSIDE IRANIAN TERRITORY FOLLOWING SIMILAR ATTACK BUSINESS TEHERAN YESTERDAY. THE PAKISTAN PRIME MINISTERED CUT SHORT HIS VISIT TO DAVOS TO RETURN TO ISLAMABAD. DOUBT ON A DOVISH FED IN MARCH. COMING UP FROM DAVOS THIS HOUR, INTERVIEWS WITH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE IAEA, THE INTERNATIONAL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF GOLDMAN SACHS. LET’S START IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHERE TENSIONS ARE ESCALATING BETWEEN IRAN AND ITS NUKE ARMS NEIGHBOR PAKISTAN. PAN STAN HAS CARRIED OUT STRIKES ON MILITARY GROUPS INSIDE IRAN TERRITORY. PAKISTAN’S PRIME MINISTER HAS CUT SHORT HIS TIME HERE IN DAVOS AND IS RETURNING HOME TO DEAL WITH THE UNFOLDING CRISIS. WE’RE DELIGHTED TO BE JOINED BY JOHN DOYLE. ALSO A BROKER IN INSURANCE. YOU UNDERSTAND RISK AND PREMIUMS THAT NEED TO BE PAID TO GO THROUGH THE RED SEA. ARE YOU WORRIED THIS ESCALATES? >> YES, I’M QUITE WORRIED ABOUT THE RECENT ESCALATION OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER ESCALATION AND AS A RISK ADVISER GEO-POLITICAL RISK IS REALLY AT THE TOP OF THE AGENDA THIS WEEK AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE’RE HAVING WITH BOTH THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND PRIVATE SECTOR. ONE OF THE ROLES WE PLAY IS HELPING CLIENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE SUPPLY CHAIN RISK AND HOW GEOPOLITICAL EVENTS MAY IMPACT CYBER RISK AND SHIPPING AS WELL. THAT IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. FRANCINE: WHAT HAPPENS TO SHIPPING IN THIS KIND OF ENVIRONMENT? HOW MANY PERCENTAGE OF BOAT ALSO ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO AROUND TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SAFE AND THEY CAN ACTUALLY HAVE INSURANCE? >> INSURANCE IS A CRITICAL ENABLER TO THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD. NOT JUST THE RED SEA. WE HAVE SEEN CHALLENGES TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE AROUND THE BLACK SEA. SPECIFICALLY TO RED SEA, THE INSURANCE MARKET IS IN GREAT TURMOIL CURRENTLY PRICES HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. IN FACT UP ABOUT 10 TIMES BUT MANY SHIPPERS ARE NOT WILLING TO EXPOSE THEIR PEOPLE OR FOR THAT MATTER THE VESSEL OR THE CARGO. THAT IS REQUIRING SHIPPING TO HEAD DOWN DIFFERENT PATHS AND ANDROUTES. FRANCINE: WHEN I SPOKE TO INVESTORS, THEY SAY WE DON’T KNOW THROW SCENARIO PLAN. THEY IGNORE THE RISK. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MITIGATE THIS RISK? >> WE’RE TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS GETTING IN FRONT OF RISK, UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE RISKS LIE AND AGGREGATE. DO SOME SCENARIO PLANNING AND IF POSSIBLE MITIGATE THE RISK IN ADVANCE. FRANCINE: THIS MEANS A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVES THAT YOU ADVISE, ARE THEY ALGATING A LOT MORE MONEY TO GET GOODS FROM A TO B? >> THEY ARE TRYING TO BETTER BALANCE RESILIENCE WITH EFFICIENCY. IT WORRIES ME A BIT ABOUT THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. THERE ARE SO MANY RISKS THROUGHOUT AND THE RISK OF INFLATION FROM THINGS LIKE SHIPPING COSTS AND GETTING GOODS TO MARKETS IS A CONCERN THAT I HAVE. FRANCINE: 2023 WAS IN MANY WAYS SHOWED A RESILIENT ECONOMY BUT WE SAW POCKETSOR HUGE CONFLICTING TENSION. ONE IS WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BLACK SEA WITH GRAINS. I DON’T KNOW WHETHER THERE IS A TEMPLATE TO TRY AND DE-ESCALATE THESE SITUATIONS. >> THERE IS. I’M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK WE DID WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UKRAINE TO FUNDAMENTALLY GET GRAIN MOVING AGAIN THROUGH THE BLACK SEA. IT IS SUCH A CRITICAL PART OF THEIR ECONOMY. SO WHILE AT WAR, TRYING TO ENABLE THE RESILIENCE OF THE UKRAINE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT THING. WE WORKED WITH THE GOVERNMENT THERE AND PUT SOME STRUCTURE TOGETHER. IT IS A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. WE HAVE SEEN MORE RISK BEFORE. WE HAVE WORKED AROUND IT. THERE ARE LESSONS THAT HAVE BEEN LEARNED THAT WE CAN APPLY TO THE RED SEA. FRANCINE: HOW MUCH DO YOU WORRY ABOUT 2024? WE’RE NOT SURE WHERE A.I. IS GOING. THERE IS CLIMATE CHANGE AND CONFLICT. >> I’M POSITIVE ABOUT 2024, HAVING SAID THAT, I LOOK BACK TO A YEAR AGO WHEN WE HAD A SIMILAR CONVERSATION. THERE MAYBE WAS TOO MUCH PESSIMISM A YEAR AGO. I WORRY THAT FOLKS A LITTLE BIT TOO OPTIMISTIC TODAY. BUSINESS LEADERS NEED TO BE AWARE WHERE THE RISKS ARE. THE TECHNOLOGY RISK AND ADVENTS OF A.I. AND IT CONTINUES TO ESCALATE. I’M WORRIED ABOUT THOSE RISKS. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR A BROADER RANGE OF OUTCOMES AND THINKING ABOUT RISK AND PUTTING IT AT THE TOP OF MIND IS CRITICAL. FRANCINE: WILL THEY BECOME LEERN IN TERMS H.O.V. HOW THEY OPERATE? JOB LOSS? IT IS UNCERTAIN. >> IT IS ALWAYS UNCERTAIN. YOU NEVER ARE SURE HOW THE ECONOMY IS GOING TO EVOLVE. THE COMPLEXITY IS WHAT SETS TODAY APART FROM OTHER YEARS. A BIT MORE DEFENSIVELY WITH A LEVEL OF OPTIMISM. BEING AGILE IN THIS MARKET IS CRITICAL. FRANCINE: EVERYONE’S CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A SURVEY, WE HAVE THE RISKS AND THEN SOMETHING POPS OUT OF NOWHERE LIKE WE SAW IN THE LAST THREE TO FOUR MONTHS. CAN YOU AREA A POTENTIAL BLACK SWAN. I DON’T KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING, THE MARKETS, LIQUIDITY OR SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE LOOKING OUT FOR THAT WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT? >> I THINK SO BETWEEN GEO-POLITICAL RISKS, ECONOMIC RISKS, AGAIN, THE RISK OF INFLATION, CLIMATE-RELATED RISK CAN CREATE ALL SORTS OF CHALLENGES. LABOR RISK. SOCCER ISSUES ARE CRITICAL. FRANCINE: ALL RIGHT. TIGHT LABOR MARKET. >> THE THING I WORRY ABOUT WITH THE EXPLOSION OF A.I. MISINFORMATION RISK. WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN FRANCINE: WE SEE PEOPLE POPPING IN. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AT DAVOS. GREAT CONVERSATION. JOHN DOYLE. COMING UP, WE’LL BE HEARING FROM THE HEAD OF META BUSINESS GLOBAL GROUP. THIS IS BLOOMBERG. FRANCINE: WELCOME BACK TO "THE PULSE." ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAS DOMINATED DISCUSSIONS AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM THIS WEEK. HOW TO MAKE IT PAY ARE AMONG THE KEY AREAS BEING DEBATED. WE’RE JOINED BY THE HEAD OF GLOBAL BUSINESS GROUP AT META. ALSO WELCOME TO OUR GLOBAL BLOOMBERG AUDIENCE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW OBJECT. NOT MANY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IT. YOU DO. WHAT’LL BE THE MOST TRANSFORMATIONAL FORCE AT META THIS YEAR? >> IT IS A BIG CONVERSATION HERE THIS WEEK AT DAVOS. IN MANY WAYS THIS COULD BE CALLED THE A.I. CONFERENCE THIS TIME. MARK HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN THIS AREA. WE SET A RESEARCH LAB OVER A DECADE AGO. A.I. HAS BEEN AT THE HEART OF META SINCE THE VERY EARLY DAYS OF NEWS FEED. WE ARE USING IT IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. ON THE RANKINGS. ON THE MONETIZATION SIDE AS WELL. CONNECTING THE BEST AD TO RIGHT PERSON FOR THE ADVERTISER. THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. WE’RE IMAGINING A WORLD WHERE YOU CAN HAVE PERSONAL ASSISTANCE. NOT JUST ONE ASSISTANT BUT MULTIASSISTANTS THAT CAN HELP IN VARIOUS ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT AREAS AND I THINK ABOUT HOW IT IS CHANGING ADVERTISING SIDE OF THINGS. LAST YEAR WE BROUGHT TOGETHER ALL OF OUR ADVERTISING PROPERTIES THAT ARE USING A.I. THE PERFORMANCE THAT WE’RE SEEING HERE FOR OUR ADVERTISERS, AN INCREASE ON AVERAGE OF 32%. A DECREASE ON ACQUISITION ABOUT 17%. ADVERTISERS ARE USING AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE PRODUCTS NOW. THERE IS A LOT OF MOMENTUM. FRANCINE: HOW DO YOU TRANSFORM IT INTO BUSINESS? >> THAT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE IN TERMS OF HOW ADVERTISERS ARE USING IT. I THINK OF IT LIKE EASY BUTTONS. IN THE PAST WHAT WE’RE ALLOWING ADVERTISERS TO DO NOW, IT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN THEM 15-20, 30 STEPS TO SET UP A CAMPAIGN. YOU CAN DO IT IN ONE BUTTON NOW. YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT DIDN’T WANTED TO BUY YOUR PRODUCT AND PUT THAT IN FRONT OF THEM. ANOTHER ASPCT IS ON THE CREATIVE GENERATION SIDE. WE’RE PUTTING THE TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF THE SMALLEST AND BIGGEST ADVERTISEERS IN THE WORLD TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE BACKGROUND, CHANGE THE COPY. CHANGE THE DIMENSION. THESE THINGS ARE COST SAVING. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT HOW TO MAKE MONEY BUT ALSO REDUCING COSTS IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF STEPS SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE TAKEN. FRANCINE: IS IT FAIR TO SAY META HAS GONE FROM METAVERSE TO A.I.? >> BOTH. A.I. IS VERY MUCH THE BUILDING BLOCKS. WHETHER IT IS ON THE HARDWARE SIDE. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE MIXED REALITY RELIES ON IT. I’M TALKING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. I DID A MAIN STAGE PANEL ON IT. WE’RE SEEING IT BEING USED IN SUPPLY CHAINS. SUPPLY CHAIN TRAINING. A LOT OF TRAINING. FRANCINE: THERE IS A MASSIVE CHALLENGE THIS YEAR THE. FAKE NEWS. ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MINIMIZE FAKE INFORMATION ON YOUR PLATFORMS? >> THE ELECTIONS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT AREA FOR US AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF E RXS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR MANY YEARS. WE’RE NOT JUST WAITING FOR 24. THERE IS BIG ELECTIONS ALL THE TIME ALL OVER THE WORLD. AS THE TECHNOLOGY IS ADVANCING, WE’RE FINDING OUT THE PLAY BOOK THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE VERY CLEAR POLICIES. WE PUBLISHED IN NOVEMBER THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE ALWAYS ON 24 IN THE U.S. NOT JUST THE U.S., INDIA AND TUNISIA AS WELL. WE HAVE THE POLICIES. WE HAVE OVER 945 FACT CHECKERS AROUND THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO MISINFORMATION. ON THE POLITICAL -- IT IS LABELED AND GOES INTO AN APPS LIBRARY. ANYBODY CAN HAVE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT IS OUT THERE. FRANCINE: WILL YOU HIRE MORE FACT CHECKERS BECAUSE A LOT ISA AT STAKE IN A BIG ELECTION YEAR? >> WE ALREADY HAVE 90. LOOKING AT WHERE ELECTIONS ARE HAPPENING. IT IS SOMETHING WE’RE ACTIVELY LOOKING AT. FRANCINE: SO THE EUROPEAN UNION IS ENFORCING SOME OF THE COMPETITION CONTENT RULES TO TRY TO REIGN IN BIG TECH. >> YES. IT ABSOLUTELY -- WE INTEND TO DO THAT. FRANCINE: A. SIRVETION FASCINATING. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT. WE NEED TO REGULATE IT AND PUT THE HUMAN AT THE FRONT OF IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS IF A.I. GOES UNCHECKED WE DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT BECOMES AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR JOB LOSS, WHAT IT MEANS FOR HOW HUMANS INTERACT? >> LIKE WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY, YOU NEED REGULATION AND ALSO THOUGHTFUL REGULATION THAT CAN ENHANCE THE INNOVATION BEHIND THAT. THAT’S WHY WE LIKE TO WORK WITH REGULATORS AROUND THE WOULD SO WE CAN SHARE DIFFERENT OPINIONS. THAT IS IMPORTANT. FRANCINE: WHAT WILL WE SEE THIS YEAR AROUND THE WORLD. THERE COULD BE ANOTHER GLOBAL A.I. SUMMIT. DO THOSE THINGS MATTER? >> IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. WE’RE NOT GOING WAIT AROUND FOR THE REGULATION TO COME INTO PLAY. WE’RE GOING TO GET AHEAD OF IT. WE’RE BUILDING IN RESPONSIBLE A.I. INTO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PRODUCTS THAT WE’RE CREATING. THE WORK WE HAVE DONE WITH PRIVACY. WE HAVE AROUND 40,000 PEOPLE AT THE COMPANY WORKING ON THESE ISSUES. IT IS AN AREA WHERE WE SPENT OVER $20 BILLON TO ENSURE THE SAFETY TO HAVE PRODUCTS THAT WE’RE PUTTING OUT THERE. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP WORKING ON THIS ANYWAY. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP ENSURING THAT WE’RE THINKING ABOUT THESE ISSUES RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING BUT ULTIMATELY THIS WORKS BEST WHEN WE CAN WORK AS AN INDUSTRY TOGETHER AND WITH REGULATORS. FRANCINE: HOW's IT GOING? >> IT IS GOING GOOD. FRANCINE: A SOURCE OF REVENUE? >> WE HAVE 100 MILLION PEOPLE USING IT. WE JUST RECENTLY LAUNCHED IT IN THE U.S. AS WELL. NO PLANS TO MONETIZE JUST YET. FRANCINE: YOU’LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND TELL US WHEN YOU DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. HEAD OF GLOBAL BUSINESS GROUP AT META. COMING UP, WE’LL BE JOINED BE BY THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE FRANCINE: WELCOME BACK TO DAVOS. A RECENT RECORD BY THE U.N.’S NUKE WATCHDOG SAYS IRAN IS PRODUCING WEAPONS GRADE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOININGS. YOU REPORTED ACTUALLY AT TOAMPED DECEMBER THAT IRAN TRIPLED THE RATE AT WHICH IT IS ACCUMULATING URANIUM CLOSE TO WEAPONS GRADES. HOW MUCH MATERIAL DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE NOW? >> THEY HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL FOR SEVERAL NUKE WARHEADS. THIS DOESN’T MEAN THEY HAVE THEM. LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT THIS. THEY HAVE CREATED SO MUCH ENRICHED URANIUM. TWO MONTHS, THREE MONTHS, FIVE MONTHS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL TO DO THIS AND NOW IT IS A REALITY. THIS CONTINUES. THEY ARE SPEEDING UP THE ENRICHMENT BASE. IT IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO BUT WE NEED TO VERIFY. FRANCINE: WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH IT? >> THIS IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS. THEY ARE AACCUMULATING IT. THINK THEY SAY IT IS THEIR RIGHT. THEY SAY IT IS FOR CIVILIAN . FRANCINE: IS THERE A REAL DANGER THEY ARE PRAYING NUKE SITES TO PUT THEM ONLINE? >> I WOULD SAY HERE WE HAVE TO DIVIDE CAREFULLY WHAT OUR ACTIVITIES MAY HAVE FUTURE IMPLICATIONS FROM THIS PLACE IN REALITY. THEY ENRICH. THEY PRODUCE. THEY FABRICATE CENTRIFUGES. THEY HAVE UKRAINIAN MINING. ALL OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE SO-CALLED NUKE FUEL CYCLE ARE TAKING PLACE. THERE ARE MANY AREAS THEY HAVE NOT CLARIFIED. IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE HAVE DISCOVERED IN THE PAST WHICH WERE NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR FOR US. WHY WERE WE FINDING TRACES OF UKRAINE YUM URANIUM IN PLACES THAT HAD NEVER HOSTED NUKE ACTIVITIES. WE’RE ASKING IF THERE IS MATERIAL, WHERE IT IS. IF THERE IS EQUIPMENT, WHERE IS THIS EQUIPMENT? SO IT IS A VERY FRUSTRATING CYCLE OF ASKING QUESTIONS AND NOT GETTING THE NECESSARY CLARIFICATIONS AND ANSWERS. VERY SIMPLE. FRANCINE: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF SOME OF THESE SITES? >> UNTIL WE CLARIFY, WE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON’T PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TRANSPARENCY. I WAS THERE AND SAW THE PRESIDENT LAST MARCH AND THE FOREIGN MINISTER AND WE HAD SOME UNDERSTANDINGS BUT UNFORTUNATELY OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, THIS COMMITMENT NEVER REALLY FULLY REALIZED. HERE WE ARE. FRANCINE: YOU WERE ALSO IN SAUDI ARABIA LAST YEAR. IT HAS TAKEN A LOT OF TIME FOR SAUDI ARABIA TO IMPLEMENT SOME OF THE NUKE SAFEGUARDS IN ORDER TO GENERATE ATOMIC POWER. WHY SITZ TAKING SO LONG? >> THEY DON’T HAVE AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE KIND OF ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE A MAJOR COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM. THEY HAVE MINOR ACTIVITIES. THEY HAVE COMMISSIONED POWER RESEARCH FROM ARGENTINA. THEY HAVEN’T RECEIVED IT YET. THIS IS A SMALL TRAINING FACILITY BUT THEY DO HAVE PLANS. THEY HAVE THE IDEA WHICH IS PERFECTLY FINE WITH US TO HAVE A BIG NUKE ENERGY PROGRAM. THIS WILL REQUIRE AN ADAPTATION OF THE INSPECTION SYSTEM. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE UNDERSTAND THE AND TONS OF URANIUM. IT HAS TO BE EXPECTED. IN DECEMBER, I WAS TALKING TO THE MINISTER OF ENERGY, THE FOREIGN MINISTER WHOM I MET HERE IN DAVOS. HE IS HERE. FRANCINE: WHAT IS GOING ON IN UKRAINE? THERE WERE QUESTIONS FOR EXAMPLE OF RUSSIAN NUKE PLANTS IN BELARUS AND WHETHER THEY WERE SAFE. >> A NUMBER OF THINGS THERE. MOST IMPORTANT IS THE BIGGEST LARGEST NUKE POWER PLANT. FRANCINE: IN UKRAINE. >> IN OCCUPIED TERRITORY. RUSSIAN CONTROLLED. THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT THIS PLANT IS AT AT THE FRONT LINE OF THE WAR. IT IS NOT SOMEWHERE IN THE PROVINCE. IT IS AT THE FRONT LINE. IT IS AN ACTIVE CONFLICT ZONE. THERE HAVE BEEN ATTACKS IN THE PAST. THIS IS WHY I DEPLOYED -- I HAVE BEEN THERE MYSELF. I WILL BE RETURNING THERE VERY SOON. WE ARE TRYING TO STABILIZE THE SITUATION THERE TO AVOID A NUKE ACCIDENT WITH MAJOR CONSEQUENCES. THIS IS A MAJOR THEME. WE HAVE ALSO DEPLOYED TEAMS AT ALL OTHER NUKE POWER PLANTS IN UKRAINE AND THEY ARE CHECKING THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS THERE. FRANCINE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. DIRECTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC AGENCY. FRANCINE: FRESH TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AS PAKISTAN CARRIES ON STRIKES IN RETALIATION FOR SIMILAR ATTACKS FROM TEHRAN YESTERDAY. PAKISTAN'S PRIME MINISTER CUT SHORT HIS TIME IN DAVOS. THE IRAN BACKED GROUP CONTINUES TO DISRUPT GLOBAL SHIPPING AROUND THE RED SEA. STRONG U.S. RETAIL SALES -- TO A DOVISH FED IN MARCH. WELCOME BACK TO OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE FROM DAVOS. INVESTORS BANKING ON THE COMING YEAR TO SEE IN THE EASING OF MONETARY POLICY IS INFLATION MOVES CLOSER TO TARGET. FOR THE WORLD'S INVESTMENT BANKS THE HOPE WILL BE CHEAPER MONEY REVIVES DEALMAKING AFTER A DISMAL 2023. TO DISCUSS THIS AND MORE WE ARE JOINED BY RICHARD GNODDE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING US SMARTER ON HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD AND THE DEALS WE COULD SEE IN A FUTURE. THERE IS A MISMATCH IN M&A THAT BUYERS WERE EXPECTING TOO MUCH AND BUYERS DID NOT WANT TO SPEND AS MUCH AS SELLERS WANT TO PAY FOR. RICHARD: WE ARE GETTING CLOSER. THE VIEW WAS PRETTY PESSIMISTIC. THIS TIME LAST YEAR THE EXPECTATION WAS A RECESSION IN THE U.S.. THE MARKETS PERFORMED MUCH BETTER THAN THAT AND WE KNOW THE U.S. MARKET WAS UP 23, 20 4%. WE ALSO CARRIED INTO LAST YEAR ASSETS PURCHASED OF THE TIME PRICES. THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE OFFER. WE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THIS YEAR TO BE BACK FULL THROTTLE. FRANCINE: HOW CONCERNED ARE YOU ABOUT 2024. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CONFLICTS, AND GEOPOLITICS. THE NEWS WAS ESCALATED TENSIONS. HOW DOES THAT PLAY THROUGH MARKETS. RICHARD: WE FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE ECONOMICS. WE HAVE MORE OF A TAILWIND THIS YEAR THAN A HEADWIND WHICH WAS LAST YEAR STORY. RATES ARE COMING DOWN WITH A DEBATE OF HOW QUICKLY THE CENTRAL BANKS AROUND THE WORLD ARE TRYING TO SLOW THE EXPECTATIONS DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF RATE CUTS AND SPEED. THAT'S GOING TO BE DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY ARE CHASING. THE EUROPEAN ECONOMY HAS TO GET BACK TO GROWTH. NO EXPECTATION REALLY OF A RECESSION IN THE U.S.. SO ECONOMICALLY WE FEEL A MUCH BETTER PLACE. THIS IS NOT NEW, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THE ISSUE IS WE STARTED WITH RUSSIA UKRAINE AND THEN THE TRAGEDY OF OCTOBER 7, WE HAVE WHAT'S GOING ON THIS WEEK IN TERMS OF EXPANDING INTO THE STRIKES, MORE AND MORE COUNTRIES ARE GETTING INVOLVED AND THAT IS OF COURSE A REAL CONCERN. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE LIST OF ISSUES SHRINKING AS OPPOSED TO GROW. FRANCINE: I KNOW THIS IS A HOT YEAR FOR BONUSES, WHAT CAN YOU TELL THEM? RICHARD: WE PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE AND WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US IS WE HAVE THE BEST TEAM ON THE FIELD. WE FEEL TERRIFIC ABOUT THE TEAM. THE STRATEGIC FOCUS IS AS GOOD AS IT'S EVER BEEN. AT THE END OF THE DAY THE SUCCESS OF THE STRATEGY DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF OUR PEOPLE. SO WE'RE VERY FOCUSED ON KEEPING THE BEST PEOPLE AT THE FIRM, THE GLOBAL FOOTPRINT WE HAVE IN THE LAST FOUR DECADES PROBABLY. A KEY DIFFERENTIATOR FOR US. THEY LIKE THE FOCUS OF THE FIRM. THEY LIKE THE SCALE WE HAVE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. WE WILL PLAY THE BALL AT OUR FEET. THIS CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE MOMENTS THIS YEAR. THERE WILL BE ISSUES THAT COME ACROSS BUT WE HAVE NOT FORESEEN. THE BEST PEOPLE AND THE BEST TEAM WORKING TOGETHER. FRANCINE: THERE WAS A PART WHERE GOLDMAN WAS ALMOST IN THE EYE OF THE STORM AND WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THAT ANYMORE. RICHARD: STRATEGIC CLARITY IS A FANTASTIC THING. WE CLOSE THE CHAPTER ON 23 AND MOVE INTO 24. IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTINUING TO BUILD SCALE IN THESE BUSINESSES. FRANCINE: WHERE DO YOU SEE THE BEST GROWTH COMING FROM? RICHARD: I WAS IN ASIA LAST WEEK. IN JAPAN THERE'S A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM I THINK WE SPENT A LOT MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT JAPAN THROUGH THIS YEAR. THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A CHANGE IN MONETARY POLICY. WHEN YOU GO THERE YOU ARE JUST REMINDED OF THE SCALE OF MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY, OF THAT ECONOMY. IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON. EVERYONE WE TALKED TO IS DOING MORE. THAT WILL BE INTERESTING. IN THE BIG TWO DEVELOPED MARKETS, THE U.S. AND EUROPE, WE EXPECT IT TO PICK UP. WE UNDERSTAND IT MAY NOT BE BACK TO PEAK LEVELS BUT IT WILL BE BETTER THAN IT WAS WE EXPECT IN 24 THEN 23. CAPITAL MARKETS CANNOT STAY SHUT FOREVER. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO REBOUND. THAT'S OUR BELIEF. FRANCINE: ARE THERE POCKETS WERE YOU SEE HIRING IN CERTAIN SPECIFIC BUSINESSES OR REGIONS? RICHARD: WE HIRE EVERY SINGLE YEAR. FROM CAMPUS, WE DO THAT YEAR-IN AND YEAR-OUT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO FEED THE MACHINE AND BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION. AND THEN OF COURSE WE LOVE TO BRING PEOPLE INTO DRIVE CERTAIN PARTS. ASK WEALTH MANAGEMENT IS A HUGE FOCUS FOR US. SO THAT WILL RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION. FRANCINE: YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF BANKERS NOT HAPPY ABOUT REGULATION. IS THIS TOP OF MIND AS WELL. RICHARD: WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESS AT THIS WEEK. IT'S BEEN INTERESTING TO ME TO SEE THE BROAD RANGE OF INPUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE BANKS TALKING ABOUT THIS IT'S THE END USERS TALKING ABOUT THIS. IT'S THE REAL ECONOMY. THE AIRLINES, USERS OF THE PRODUCTS. AND IF COSTS GO UP THERE THAT IMPACTS THE REAL ECONOMY IT'S IMPORTANT THE OUTPOURING HAS BEEN STRIKING. FRANCINE: COULD IT LEAD TO SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL EVENT OR MAYBE NOT SYSTEMIC, BUT IS THERE WORRY THE MARKET CHANGES AND SEIZES PARTS OF IT? RICHARD: THE DIALOGUE IS OPEN. IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE CONFLICT FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF THE FED AND OBVIOUSLY THERE IS STILL WORK TO BE DONE AND A CRISIS TO BE GONE THROUGH. WE HAVE SOME SMART PEOPLE IN THIS AND IN THE END PEOPLE TYPICALLY GET TO A SMART PLACE. RICHARD: THANK YOU SO MUCH RICHARD. COMING UP, WILL THIS YEAR SEE A REVIVAL IN M&A? WE WILL SPEAK PRIVATE EQUITY WITH THE CO-FOUNDER OF THE CARLYLE GROUP. THIS IS BLOOMBERG. FRANCINE: WELCOME BACK EVERYONE. LAST YEAR WAS THE WORST FOR MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN A DECADE. DEALMAKERS SAY 2024 IS LOOKING MORE POSITIVE. I'M DELIGHTED TO BE JOINED BY DAVID RUBENSTEIN. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I DON'T KNOW IF THE LAST YEAR WAS SO BAD BECAUSE THERE WAS A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE PRICE PEOPLE WANT TO PAY AND WHAT THEY WANTED TO SELL. DOES THAT GET ADJUSTED? DAVID: INTEREST RATES WERE HIGH AND SELLERS WERE AFRAID IF THEY SOLD TO SOMEBODY THEY PROBABLY WEREN'T GOING TO GET THE PRICE BECAUSE BUYERS DID NOT WANT TO PAY THE PRICE BECAUSE INTEREST RATES WERE HIGH. BUYERS WERE AFRAID THEY WOULD BUY INTO A RECESSION. NOW THE RECESSION FEARS ARE GONE, INTEREST RATES ARE COMING DOWN CERTAINLY VERY SOON. SO I THINK YOU SEE MORE M&A ACTIVITY, PRIVATE ACTIVITY. FRANCINE: ARE YOU EXPECTING SIX FED CUTS? DAVID: TRYING TO PREDICT WHAT THE FED WILL DO IS A FOOLS ERRAND. THE FED WILL DO WHAT IT DOES BASED ON THE DATA. THE MARKETS WILL BE SHOCKED IF THE FED DID NOT CUT BEFORE THE ELECTION. THE FED WILL HAVE POLITICAL PROBLEMS IF THEY SAY WE WILL DO SOME CUTS AROUND THE TIME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THEY WILL GET THEIR CUTS OUT OF THE WAY. THEY WILL MEET IN JANUARY AND I SUSPECT THEY WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO IN THE MARCH FOMC MEETING. I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THERE WAS SOME CUTS BY MARCH. FRANCINE: WILL PEOPLE NOT WAIT FOR THE U.S. ELECTION? THAT COULD CHANGE RELATIONS, RULES FOR POLICY. DAVID: THERE IS NO DOUBT THE CURRENT ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT IS NOT THAT FAVORABLE TO A LOT OF BIGGER ACQUISITIONS. THEY KIND OF STAND ALONG ACQUISITIONS. SO IT'S NOT BEEN A BIG PROBLEM FOR THE INTEREST RATES. OUT OF CONCERN THERE MIGHT BE A RECESSION COMING. FRANCINE: WE'VE SEEN SOME BIG DEALS AND PRIVATE EQUITY. WE HAVE GENERAL ATLANTIC. ARE WE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS ALREADY BIG SIZABLE -- FRANCINE: IT'S A VERY GOOD DEAL -- DAVID: IT'S A VERY GOOD DEAL FOR BLACKROCK. THE HIGH PRICE I THINK WILL WORK OUT WELL FOR EVERYBODY. WE CAN SEE MORE CONSOLIDATION. A RELATIVELY PREDICTABLE RATE OF RETURN. I DO THINK YOU WILL SEE MORE CONSOLIDATION AND SOME OF THE BIGGER FIRMS WILL GET BIGGER. FRANCINE: INFRASTRUCTURE IS REALLY WHAT WE NEED IF WE ARE GOING TO BUILD THIS NEW FUTURE OR PRIVATE EQUITY IN GENERAL? DAVID: INFRASTRUCTURE IS A CLASS WHERE A LOT OF BIG PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS DON'T HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE BUSINESS, BUT THAT IS VERY PREDICTABLE BUSINESS, IT'S A VERY PREDICTABLE RATE OF RETURN BUSINESS AND ONE OF THE ONES A LOT OF INVESTORS INCREASINGLY THINK IS A GOOD AREA TO INVEST IN. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS GOTTEN A VERY BIG INFRASTRUCTURE BILL THROUGH CONGRESS. THAT'S TRUE AROUND THE WORLD. FRANCINE: DO YOU WORRY ABOUT PRIVATE EQUITY MAY BE SOME OF THE SPACES THAT ARE SMALLER WHERE THERE ARE DEBTS IF INTEREST RATES DON'T GO DOWN QUICKLY OR SOME OF THE SMALLER COMPANIES IN TROUBLE? DAVID: THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY YOU CAN GET ATTENTION BY SAYING THINGS ARE FALLING APART. RIGHT NOW DESPITE THE FACT INTEREST RATES ARE SO HIGH AND THE ECONOMY WAS NOT WONDERFUL FOR A WHILE POST-COVID, I THINK NOW WE'VE SEEN RELATIVELY FEW BANKRUPTCIES AND REALLY CUTE -- RELATIVELY FEW DISTRESSED DEBT OPTIONS. IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE THEY REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN THE WORST OF THE DEBT PROBLEM. I THINK IT'S DIFFERENT IN OTHER PARTS OF PRIVATE EQUITY? FRANCINE: IS IT A DELAYED EFFECT OR MORE RESILIENT THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE? DAVID: THE DATA IN REAL ESTATE AND CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS IS ON COVENANT LIGHT. SO YOU DEFAULT IN THE INTEREST YOU DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE BANKS TAKING OVER THE DEBT SO IT'S EASIER TO STAY ALIVE WHEN THINGS ARE WORKING WELL VENTED WAS YEARS AGO. FRANCINE: WHERE DO YOU WANT TO MAKE DEALS. DAVID: THERE ARE A NUMBER OF AREAS I THINK WILL BE ATTRACTIVE IN THE FUTURE. ONE OF THE ONES PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS OBVIOUSLY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. ANOTHER AREA THAT HASN'T GOTTEN AS MUCH ATTENTION IS SOMETHING CALLED QUANTUM COMPUTING. IT WILL CHANGE COMPUTING DRAMATICALLY BY'S PINNING UP THE WEIGHT COMPUTERS MOVE IN MAKING DECISIONS. THAT'S AN AREA WE WILL SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY. I THINK CRISPER TECHNOLOGY WILL BE AN AREA THAT HAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN THE FUTURE. COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF AREAS I THINK YOU ARE SEEING A LOT OF GROWTH. FRANCINE: THAT MEANS MORE ENERGY. DO YOU INVEST SOME OF THE COMPANIES OF TOMORROW WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY OR IS IT TOO CROWDED. DAVID: IT IS CROWDED IN SOME RESPECTS. IT IS NOT CROWDED IN THE TRADITIONAL OIL AND GAS SECTOR. LARGE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ARE WORRIED ABOUT INVESTING IN OIL AND GAS BECAUSE THERE'S STILL SOMETHING WE NEED. EVERYBODY WANTS CLEAN ENERGY AND TO GET RID OF CARBON EMISSIONS BUT I THINK FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE IT'S NOT LIKELY THAT WE WILL GO TO CARBON NEUTRALITY COMPLETELY. FRANCINE: HOW DO YOU LOOK AT AI. IT'S GOING TO STOP US -- WE DON'T HAVE TO LEARN POWERPOINT ANYMORE BUT WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE INVESTED? DAVID: AI THE ISSUE WILL BE WILL YOU BE BETTER OFF WITH A SMALL START OF OR INVESTING IN THE MICROSOFT'S. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS YET. I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES IN BOTH PLACES. EVERY COMPANY I SEE IN THE VENTURE SPACE SAYS IT'S AN AI COMPANY. >> THIS IS NOT GOLDMAN SACHS.COM ERA OF 2000. DAVID: I WOULD SAY YOU ONLY KNOW YOU ARE IN A BUBBLE WHEN IT BURSTS. RIGHT NOW IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A BUBBLE. PEOPLE PAY CRAZY PRICES FOR START UP COMPANIES WITH NO REVENUE, NO PROSPECT IN THE NEXT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS. I THINK YOU ARE SEEING HIGH VALUATIONS AND SOME ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANIES. EVERYBODY IS AFRAID OF MISSING OUT. THERE'S A HUMAN TENDENCY OF BEING AFRAID OF MISSING OUT. PEOPLE ARE PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY IN IT AT RELATIVELY HIGH PRICES. FRANCINE: IS THAT ONE OF YOUR FINANCIAL ADVICE? DAVID: YOU ARE BETTER OFF TO INVEST WHERE OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T RUSHING TO GO INTO IT. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THE THINGS I'M LOOKING AT BECAUSE THEN THE PRICE WILL GO UP BUT CLEARLY THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST IN AI. A YEAR AGO WHEN WE WERE HERE, AI HAS BEEN DOMINANT IN DAVOS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS WORRIED WHAT AI WILL DO AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMPANIES DEAL WITH AI WON'T BE HURT BY AI. FRANCINE: I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO SOMEONE SAYING WE HAVE PERSONAL ASSISTANCE FOR WORK STUFF. THAT'S WHAT 10 OR 20 YEARS AWAY OR COULD IT ALSO JUST NEVER COME TRUE? DAVID: IT'S HARD TO PREDICT 10 OR 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. WHO WOULD'VE PREDICTED THE INTERNET WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. IN 1999, 2000 WE THOUGHT THE INTERNET WAS A BIG BUBBLE. RIGHT NOW THE INTERNET HAS CHANGED THE WAY WE ARE LIVING FOREVER. I SUSPECT AI WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT. >> HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT INVESTMENT CHOICE AGAIN? DAVID: I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP MY SECRETS BUT GENERALLY YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND HAVE A DESIRE TO BUILD A COMPANY. PEOPLE WHO WORK AROUND THE CLOCK AND HAVE SOME TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE. LOOKING AT THE GREAT ENTREPRENEURS OF THE LAST 20 YEARS, WHAT DID THEY HAVE IN COMMON? THEY BELIEVED WOULDN'T -- AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND HAD A PASSION THAT YOU CAN RECOGNIZE EASILY. THE GREAT ENTREPRENEURS WILL BE COMING ALONG IN THE NEXT GENERATION AS WELL. IN PROBABLY AI. FRANCINE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. COMING UP WE WILL HAVE PLENTY MORE FROM DAVOS. WE HAVE THE REST OF TODAY AND THEN TOMORROW. MUCH MORE, THIS IS BLOOMBERG. ♪ FRANCINE: TENSIONS ESCALATING IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THIS TIME BETWEEN IRAN AND ITS NUCLEAR ARMED NEIGHBOR PAKISTAN. PAKISTAN'S MILITARY CARRIED OUT STRIKES AGAINST MILITANT HIDEOUTS INSIDE IRAN IN RESPONSE TO AN ATTACK IN PAKISTANI TERRITORY. PAKISTAN'S INTERIM PRIME MINISTER IS RETURNING HOME TO DEAL WITH THE UNFOLDING CRISIS. THE U.S. LAUNCHED ANOTHER ROUND OF STRIKES ON YEMEN'S HOUTGHIS OVERNIGHT. AN INTERVIEW WITH BLOOMBERG HERE IN DAVOS, OF THE U.K. FOREIGN SECRETARY SUGGESTED STEPPING UP SANCTIONS AGAINST THE IRANIAN REGIME IF THE RED SEA ATTACKS CONTINUE. >> WE HAVE DELIVERED TOUGH MESSAGES TO IRAN. I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTER LAST WEEK. THERE'S A NUMBER OF SANCTIONS AND OTHER MEASURES ALREADY IN PLACE BUT I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY VITAL THAT WE SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO IRAN THAT ITS BEHAVIOR AND SUPPORTING THESE PROXIES, WHETHER IT IS HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH OR THE ARMED GROUPS IN SYRIA, IN THIS BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE. FRANCINE: THE OPPOSITION LABOR PARTY SAYS IT SUPPORTS THE U.K. DECISION TO STRIKE BACK AGAINST TARGETS TO STOP FURTHER ATTACKS IN THE RED SEA. I SPOKE TO RACHEL REEVES YESTERDAY. >> THAT WAS TO PROTECT MARITIME ROUTES AND TO PROTECT THE SHIPS GOING THROUGH IT AND SEND A CLEAR SIGNAL THAT WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS DISRUPTION TO TRADE FLOWS AND THESE ATTACKS ON MARITIME VESSELS. I THINK THAT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THAT HAPPENED AND HAD THE FULL BACKING OF THE OPPOSITION AND MANY COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. >> I ALSO ASKED ABOUT LABOR'S PLANS FOR CORPORATE TAXATION IN THE U.K.. >> THE CORPORATION TAX IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT BRITISH INDUSTRY IS COMMITTED HERE. WE WILL BE NOT JUST OPEN FOR BUSINESS BUT ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING INVESTMENT, WEALTH CREATION IN BRITAIN AND WE ARE THE PARTY OF WEALTH CREATION. FRANCINE: DOES THAT MEAN YOU COULD RULE OUT A CORPORATION TAX? >> I'M NOT GOING TO SET LABOR'S TAX POLICY ON A TELEVISION PROGRAM BUT WE WANT TO GIVE CLARITY AND CERTAINTY THAT THEY CAN MAKE THOSE LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS. WE WOULD INVEST ALONGSIDE BUSINESS THAT WE SEE IN OUR ECONOMY TODAY. FRANCINE: -- >> WE WANT A COMPETITIVE RATE OF TAX AND CERTAINTY FOR BUSINESS. FRANCINE: THE UNICREDIT CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAYS HE IS CERTAIN TO HIT HIS PROFITABILITY GOALS DESPITE HEIGHTENED GEOPOLITICAL UNCERTAINTY. HERE'S A LOOK BACK FROM OUR CONVERSATION EARLIER. >> WE WILL GIVE AN UPDATE WITH OUR YEAR END RESULTS, BUT SUFFICE TO SAY OUR STRATEGY AND COMMITMENT HAS NOT CHANGED. AT THE MOMENT WE ARE LOOKING AT WE HAVE PROBABLY REDUCED BY 70% ARE EXPOSURE. IT HAS COST US LESS THEN 10 OR 15% OF THAT. WE HAVE DONE THAT IN AN ORDERLY FASHION AND WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT. FRANCINE: THAT WAS THE UNICREDIT CHIEF EXECUTIVE SPEAKING TO ME EARLIER TODAY HERE IN DAVOS AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM. LATER TODAY WE WILL SPEAK TO THE BLACKSTONE CHAIRMAN CHIEF EXECUTIVE, OF THE GERMAN FINANCE MINISTER AND INTERVIEWS WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF MORGAN STANLEY AND BANK OF AMERICA. THAT'S COMING UP SHORTLY. UP NEXT, BLOOMBERG BRIEF WITH DANI BURGER IN LONDON AND MANUS CRANNY IN NEW YORK. THIS IS BLOOMBERG.
