BBC World Service - Business Matters, Review of the Year - 2018

We look back at the main business stories of the year.

A trade war between the US and China, corruption in Malaysia, tackling climate change and the rise of K-pop were all in the headlines this year.

Martin Webber analyses the main business stories of 2018 with Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union (NFU) in the US, Deborah Elms, executive director of the Asian Trade Centre in Singapore, Bradley Hope at the Wall Street Journal and freelance journalist Taylor Glasby.

Also in the programme, a special report from Cyprus, where the banking system collapsed five years ago. We'll find out how Russian investors have remained a big part of the country's financial system.

Plus, how phone apps have shaken up the dating scene in India.
