증시 대담

It's time now on this Friday for a look at the global markets today, and where we stand here at the end of the week. And for that I'm joined on the line by Dr. Kim Seiwan, professor of economics at Ewha Womans University.
Dr. Kim, thanks for coming on today.
You're welcome.
This week, media reports said the Trump administration has put off its decision on new car tariffs for six months. Plus, Korea is one of three countries, they say, that will be exempt if and when these tariffs do take effect. What do you think was the reason for the delay?
There are still concerns, though. If Korea is ultimately subject to the tariffs, how badly would this hurt Korean automakers?
President Trump has declared an emergency over what his administration sees as a security threat from equipment made by Huawei, essentially banning American companies from using their products and those of their affiliates. What prompted this and what will the ripple effects be in other countries?
New data out from the finance ministry in its latest green book. In April the concern again is these downside risks, coming from the U.S.-China trade war, and declining exports. What stands out to you in this data?
Yesterday, President Moon held a finance strategy meeting with his top officials, looking ahead to the next five years. He urged a more active fiscal policy in addressing the low-growth problem, jobs and so on. What role do you see at this point for fiscal measures like they're talking about?
Alright, Dr. Kim. That's where we'll leave it here today. Thanks so much for your insights.
