About this episode
The final countdown… Less than a day to go before the world’s largest ever IPO, the listing of Saudi Aramco. We hear exclusively from Saudi Arabian finance minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan who tells CNBC the kingdom is not running out of money, despite contending with falling oil prices, lower reserves, a widening deficit and the lower-than-expected size of the Aramco deal . We are live in Riyadh. Chinese consumer inflation reaches an eight-year high as an outbreak of African swine fever continues to drive pork prices up. Meanwhile, Chinese auto sales drive lower for a 17th straight month, as the world's largest car market continues to reel from slowing growth and the trade war with the U.S. In Paris, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky have agreed on a ceasefire in renewed peace talks but have yet to bring the five-year-old Donbass conflict to an end. And in Washington, U.S. Democrats plan to introduce two impeachment articles against President Trump, accusing him of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
