As Lebanon edges ever closer to a financial crisis, Goldman Sachs has said that foreign
00:06
investors there could reclaim just 35 cents on the dollar in the event of a debt restructuring.
00:12
Slow growth, political instability and regional conflicts have all weighed heavily on Lebanon's
00:17
growth in the past seven years, and now Goldman Sachs says that the country, which has one
00:21
of the highest debts in the world, could be on the brink of a financial crisis. That being
00:27
said, Lebanon has financial reserves and enough foreign liquidity to see it through for the
00:32
next couple of years, the report added.
00:34
Globally, markets rose on Monday off the back of the US and China's indication that they
00:39
would be working towards a trade deal to ease the current ongoing trade war. Markets across
00:46
Asia saw gains on Monday morning, both in Korea, Hong Kong and Japan, although by mid-afternoon
00:53
on Monday, gains in Europe had been pared down as increasing concerns over that deal
01:00
began to unfold.
01:02
And lastly, Tesla broke ground on its first foreign factory today in Shanghai. In collaboration
01:09
with the Shanghai government, the company says that it will be producing Model 3 Teslas
01:15
for the Chinese market exclusively.
01:18
That's all for today. Thanks very much for watching and we'll be back tomorrow with more headlines.
