OK, let's do the numbers.
Markets have been reacting to the threat of a potential trade war between the U.S.
and Europe.
Spot gold surged to a record high near $4,070 an ounce.
Elsewhere, shares in German carmaker BMW plunged 7%, while other European automakers, including Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, were also down.
New data shows that China's economy grew by 5% last year, despite it being in line with government predictions.
It's not anywhere near the stellar growth figures China has had over years past, and the economy faces a number of problems, not least a continuing weak housing market.
The population also fell by just over 3 million last year.
Let's speak to the BBC's Nick Marsh to put these numbers into context.
Hi Nick.
So Nick, the last year saw China staring down Trump's tariffs and the U.S.-China trade war.
Presumably these numbers will be welcomed by Beijing.
And this is all happening as the population of China is in decline.
What long-term effects might that have?
We will leave it there.
Nick, thanks for joining us on Marketplace.
In recent years, the United Arab Emirates has emerged as the top destination for the wealthy, according to multiple reports.
The BBC's Samir Hashmi looks at what's driving the rich to the Gulf and how their arrival is fueling a boom in luxury real estate.
And in the U.K., I'm William Lee Adams with the Marketplace Morning Report from the BBC World Service.
Have a great day.
