這是一檔視頻動新聞欄目，實時追蹤全球外企動態，周一到周五5位主播幫你解讀熱點，中、英雙語呈現豐富資訊。
今日主播朱琳說：
為最大程度控制新冠肺炎疫情的蔓延，全民響應政府號召，都儘量減少外出。其結果自然使得消費行為大幅減少。那麼問題來了，當中國消費者減少了消費，將會發生什麼？近日，有報導稱，在首爾的化妝品商店、東京銀座的百貨店和巴黎的奢侈品商店，中國遊客正在減少。受到影響的公司包括美國運動服裝公司耐克、日本化妝品製造商資生堂和英國時尚品牌博柏利集團等。報導介紹，博柏利40%的銷售額都來自中國消費者在國內外的消費。資生堂表示，在中國農曆新年假期期間，公司旗下四個頂級品牌的在華銷售額減少了一半以上。而迪士尼稱，如果上海迪士尼樂園再繼續關閉兩個月，其利潤將減少1.35億美元。消費趨勢諮詢公司凱度駐上海的負責人稱，中國消費者的消費模式對全球消費趨勢都產生影響，在這樣全球化環境下，沒有人能夠不受影響。當前，疫情對消費的影響已無法避免，但疫情過後，相信會逐步恢復。正如歐萊雅在近日發布2019年財報時所指出，「經過短期震蕩，消費會有大幅反彈」。

新冠肺炎對保險行業影響幾何
How Is NCP Likely To Impact The Insurance Sector
瑞銀證券發布最新保險行業研究報告：新冠肺炎對保險行業影響幾何？
UBS Securities issued the latest China Insurance sector report - How is the novel coronavirus likely to impact the insurance sector?
此次新冠肺炎短期會影響新業務銷售以及權益投資。
UBS Securities expects the coronavirus outbreak to impact new business sales and equity investment in the short run.
在新業務銷售端，由於此次的疫情，假期延長，外出活動時間減少，以及隔離措施，代理人在培訓，展業，籤單等方面受到非常大的限制，因此短期會影響保險公司的增員以及新業務的銷售。
Due to an extended holiday, reduced outdoor activity and quarantine measures caused by the outbreak, insurance agents are significantly limited in training, sales practices and underwriting. This could affect insurers』 agent force enhancement and new business sales.
從中長期看，疫情將提升居民的保險意識，加速縮小保障缺口。
Outbreak to raise insurance awareness/bridge protection gap faster in M-L/T.
根據瑞士再保險的數據，2017年中國有全亞洲最大的保障缺口8000億美金，遠遠高於排名亞洲第二的印度3600億美金左右。
In Asia, in 2017, China had the largest protection coverage gap of US$800bn, well above the No. 2, India (cUS$300bn), according to Swiss Re.
我們認為其中原因之一是居民沒有受到充足的保險保障方面的培訓（以前代理人更傾向銷售理財類保險）。
We think one of the reasons is that Chinese residents are inadequately educated on protection coverage （agents used to prefer to sell wealth management-type products）.
我們認為此次的疫情能夠使得居民提高風險方面的意識，增加對保險的配置，從而加速縮小中國的保障缺口。
The coronavirus outbreak could enhance residents』 risk awareness and prompt them to increase allocations to insurance, thus narrowing China’s protection gap at a faster rate.

In this year’s letter, Bill and Melinda reflect on what they』ve learned over the past two decades and how the world – and their work – has changed during that time.
這封信的靈感來自好友沃倫·巴菲特給他們的建議，巴菲特鼓勵他們「竭盡全力，放手一搏」，將全部的力量和所有的資源傾注於那些一旦成功，便能拯救生命、改善生活的大賭注。
The letter takes inspiration from advice given to them by Warren Buffett: to 「swing for the fences」 and put the full force of their efforts and resources behind the big bets that have the most potential to save and improve lives.
比爾和梅琳達在信中表示：「蓋茨基金會的核心理念是每個人都應該有機會過上健康而富有成效的生活。二十年過後，儘管很多事情都發生了變化，這仍是驅動我們工作的首要原則。」
「At the core of our foundation’s work is the idea that every person deserves the chance to live a healthy and productive life,」 write Bill and Melinda Gates. 「Twenty years later, despite how much things have changed, that is still our most important driving principle.」

賽萊默發布2019年全年收入報告
Xylem Reports Full-year 2019 Earnings
賽萊默報告2019年全年收入為52.5億美元，較上年同期增長1％，較上年同期有機增長4％。
Xylem Inc. reported full-year 2019 revenue of $5.25 billion, up one percent on a reported basis and four percent on an organic basis.
全年報告的淨收入為4.01億美元，合每股2.21美元，營業利潤率為9.3％。公司創造了6.13億美元的自由現金流，轉換率為124％。
Full-year reported net income was $401 million, or $2.21 per share, with a reported operating margin of 9.3 percent. The Company generated $613 million in free cash flow, representing a 124 percent conversion.
賽萊默總裁兼執行長Patrick Decker表示：「我們的團隊在整個2019年繼續運用賽萊默的行業領先技術產品組合，再次在全球公用事業市場實現中間個位數的增長，其中包括中國和印度的兩位數增長。」
「Our teams continued to capitalize on Xylem’s portfolio of industry-leading technologies throughout 2019, again delivering mid-single-digit growth in the Utilities market globally, including double-digit growth in China and India,」 said Patrick Decker, president and CEO of Xylem.
但是，下半年工商業市場疲軟減緩了整體收入增長和利潤率增長。為了應對這些挑戰，賽萊默有效地控制了成本，顯著提高了運營資本，並超出了公司自由現金流量轉換承諾。
However, soft Industrial and Commercial markets in the second half slowed the overall revenue growth and margin progress for the year. In response to those challenges, Xylem effectively contained costs, significantly improved working capital, and exceeded its free cash flow conversion commitments.
賽萊默預測2020年全年有機收入在53億美元至53.5億美元之間，增長1-3％。
Xylem forecasts full-year 2020 organic revenue in the range of $5.3 to $5.35 billion, up one to three percent.
