back and theyars are now working on it. these projects, depending on the size, will employ the between 2000-4000 people in one project, so once these are delivered and there aren't other projects coming after that, the shipyards don't need these people anymore. with excess capacity, so the oil price slumping and where it is now and uncertainty on where prices will recover or when, the oil majors are also cutting jobs, cutting back spending, delaying projects -- it is spelling bad news for the shipyards as well. haidi: why is korean shipbuilding in particular -- we know this is a global issue -- why are they in the spotlight? >> the spotlight came in last year when we realized that a lot of these projects -- offshore

projects, that is -- that were ordered from oil majors were being delayed, and because of the delays, there were cost overruns, so a lot of these shipyards had to factor that into earnings, which is why we saw massive losses from the top three shipyards last year. a lot of that has come off this year with some of the delays being delivered and projects being worked on, so this year is turning out to be ok for them because the cash flow has improved, but the bigger problem will probably be next year. into myhat takes me next question, what is the next year looking like, the outlook for next year? that we don't is know where oil prices will go, which means it is still uncertain when oil companies will start investing, and that means probably fewer orders for shipyards. we have already seen orders fall this year. world's number one and

number two shipbuilders have one very few orders, so with the dearth of orders going into next year, there is a lot of concerns that the shipyards may not have that many jobs to do, so that means they will have to start slimming down more next year as a lot of those backlogs will be delivered, so it will be a tough year for them until things start to recover. right, still ahead, bullish on china, apple remains positive despite waning demand for its smartphones. we would discuss earnings later in the show. out next guest says inflation is the new risk that investors should be watching out for. ubs wealth management joins us next. this is bloomberg. ♪

now the new risk. with me now is paul donovan at ubs wealth management in london. early to talk about inflationary pressures? clearly this excludes markets like japan. already there. almost every inflation measure in the night it states is at or above its 20 year average of the moment. headline rate has been kept down, but that is just oil prices. most prices in america are a 20 yearsing with average. japan has an inflation problem as well. the proem in japan is consumers believe inflation is roaring ahead. so that is changing their behavior. the perception of inflation is coming through in the global economy.

haidi: obviously that is shaking off the deflationary mindset that is perusing to be difficult in japan. -- proving to be difficult in japan. >> they think their wages are going down, so they have a deflationary wage mindset and an inflationary price mindset, and that is the critical problem. standardink your real of living would drop by 5% next year, you will be reluctant to go out and buy a new car or poorly money, and so that is really the problem. the boj talk about inflation expectations and that they want to raise inflation expectations, what they hopefully mean is we want to raise wage inflation expectations. price inflation expectations, that will make things worth -- worse in japan. haidi: we do have fixing for the , and someg in

has to manage that balance of currencies they are trading against. -- theone of your posts market is getting it wrong when it comes to populism. what are the lessons learned from the brexit vote as we go into november 8? big problem i think for financial markets because what we are finding now is globally over the last few years it has become very apparent that there is a group in society that has been left behind by economic growth over the last 20 years. grown, andlity has this group that has been left behind is generally lower lkilled, older, often rura rather than urban. this group is voting for populism, and the establishment. your average foreign exchange is not the same sort of person as your average donald trump supportive.

exchangeage foreign dealer is young, urban, international, some educated. if you look at your average donald trump supporter, they are lower income, tend to be rural, motivates thehich populism supporters are not the same thing that motivates international investors, so you get this divorce of opinion. that is not to say the populace will win. what i'm saying is the markets will underestimate the risk of populism. we have this with the u.k., the italian referendum coming up, very important election in france in the second quarter of the year, in germany in first quarter of next year, so this is potentially an ongoing story. haidi: we will have to leave it there, but fascinating stuff. take the polls with a grain of salt third i think traders are gun shy at the moment. thank you so much for that. up next, the aussie dollar jumping after that inflation

manufacturing is holding up even with tepid demand. the readings of larger firms confidence fell ck to a five-month low. we had this index of sales managers also edging lower. there was a big slump in the steel index, however the weeklong holiday at the start of the month may account for most of that. haidi: everyone is looking at the property market aspect. talkinghad policymakers about how much contribution the real estate market has had to this recover. it is undeniable, so how do we expect those curbs to play out? >> the broader monetary policy situation has changed. and most recent bloomberg survey of economists show they no longer anticipate further cuts to the one-year benchmark deposit and lending rate. that is all the way through to the end of next year. early surveys had expected a cut

pretty pervasive in malaysia. that determines who gets elected. reforms havert of been rejected before, so are we looking at a good chance this time? there is no certainty they will be pushed through, but there are more reasons now to think that there needs to be a regulatory framework. the committee's recommendations will be presented to parliament for a cross-party debate. if they are accepted, government-linked operations would be barred from making campaign donations as well. politicians and political parties would also have to submit detailed expenditure reports to an independent controller, so we have to wait and see if the changes get pushed through. coming up next, under pressure, apple posts its first sales decline in 15 years. we will get a detailed breakdown

it was the first annual sales declined since 2001, and revenue fell in china for a third straight quarter. the big headline is apple seeing its first annual sales declined since 2001. headline is that they do expect a return to growth in the next quarter, forecasting a beat for the toiday quarter, $76 billion $70 billion in sales, which means they are expecting a strong response to the new iphone. asked the cfo about the impact of the samsung recall of the note 7 smartphone and what impact they expect to see at apple. difficult to is tell to be honest because we are in a situation where we are supply constrained. everything we produce, we can sell right now, so it is difficult to identify what

different factors are driving this. another thing to point out is that in china specifically, revenue decline 30% year-over-year, a significant decline. he told me that he prefers to look at emerging markets over the longer term, and that over the longer term, they expect to see in improving situation in china. tim cook did comment on the earnings call, saying that in china specifically that they are looking at a new normal. take a listen. >> we are very bullish on china. we continue to see a middle-class that is booming. there might be some sort of new normal in the economy, but a new normal there is still a good growth rate. >> he was also asked about india in particular. he says india he believes represents a huge opportunity, but it will be several years

before that opportunity is as it has been in china. he talked about for the first time, acknowledged and apple's interesting cars. inthe car's face is an area general where it is a lot of technology that will either or will be able to revolutionize the car experience, and so it is interesting from that point of view. but nothing certainly to announce today. bloomberg has reported that apple's car plans have shifted dramatically. there has been restructuring and people have left the car division. bloomberg has reported that apple is focusing more on the car platform as opposed to a physical car, so the real focus next quarter will be on that iphone once again. it continues to make up the bulk

of the revenue for this company, so over the holiday quarter, we will watch for any impact from the samsung recall and google's new pixel smartphones hitting the market. i'm emily chang in san francisco. haidi: let's get some analysis on this. great to have you. even the cfo of apple telling us that he could not really identify the factors that contributed to the shortfall. what is the story here? is this just the new normal? >> i think it is. when we look at the numbers over everyst three quarters, single year over year quarterly shipment has been down from last year. we are pretty much seeing a lot of maturing markets. happens, you are relying on people to replace their phones, and unless there is a compelling reason to

upgrade your hardware, the growth will slow down. up until this point, apple has relied on hitting new markets, with theers, and iphone 6 they had a new screen size, which is what had this huge bump up in china, but things have slowed because there is nothing super new. even with the iphone 7 coming out, there are people talking about what will be in the iphone eight. puzzling because we talk about this rebalancing towards domestic demand, towards strengthened the chinese and the like,g and that does not seem to be playing out. domestic competition or is there a market that is reaching separation -- saturation? we have seen the

overall china smartphone market slow a lot over the last year to year and a half, so apple is being affected by that. it is not a surprise because other manufacturing's are facing -- manufactures are facing the same thing. the onene 7 plus is that has higher demand than supply, and when you look at the china market, the larger screen phones have always been quite popular, so it is a possibility that factored into it. given the other surprise the crisis plaguing samsung, where expecting apple to have more of a tailwind on the back of that. does that surprise you that the note 7 crisis is not impacting apple beneficiary -- beneficially? probably see the impact more in the final quarter

of the year with the holidays coming up. we expect there will be some switchers who will take a look at that samsung brand. when the first samsung recall happen, the impact was not going to be anything more than a short-term thing, but when they had to recall the replacement devices, that is the bigger impact we will see, and that did not happen quite so early, so the real impact will be q4 to watch. rishaad: this is a question that came up repeatedly, where is the next source of growth expansion going to come from for this company? >> you heard that india was mentioned, and when i looked at our own data, in the second quarter, india is apple's ninth it ist global market, but like tim cook said going to take a long time for them to get there. top fivehink about the

markets, which each ship over one million a quarter, and it india, it is less than one million a quarter, it will take some time, but the indian market is growing quickly and we are starting to see more growth, not just in the super, super low end, but coming up into slightly higher price points. their andto reach close the gap is going to take is not lot more, but it inconceivable that over the next 3-5 years that india will become quite a big source of revenue for apple. rishaad: finally, i just want to talk about this average sales $619 from $670. is it because the larger sizes consumer tastes switching to the smaller size handsets? se, which brought prices down further, you will

also see that as apple has become more popular across the globe, a lot of countries where ,here are no operator subsidies they are not necessarily buying the most expensive phone right off the bat. newer adopters might be buying older phones, which will be cheaper. it muchhink about larger base of users, the newer ones are buying the cheaper ones, basically. haidi: all right, we will have to leave it there. great to have those insights. certainly investors will be doing some soul-searching given that the stock has gained 22% over the past three months before the earnings release. coming up, new zealand has some of the fastest growth in the developed world and is also the easiest place to do business. why the world bank is so impressed, next. this is bloomberg. ♪
