Dear eBelgians!

This article will contain an update and remainder on current economic situation in eBelgium.



Here is a short reminder on how to donate currency, gold, and items to the State Treasury:

Accurate reporting details (name, amount of donation, and date/timestamp) only appear for donations in the alert messages of personal accounts but not for donations to organizations (like NBB-BN😎 or the State accounts. For donating to the country or the National Bank, please PM the NBB-BNB immediately after donating, certainly if you donate in the way described under 1. or 2. below, as the NBB-BNB MM alerts only have an amount and date/timestamp, and not the name of who donated by buying the offer.

Four ways to make donations or payments to the state Treasury:

1. By buying the NBB-BNB 100 gold/BEF money market offer (for donating increments of 1 gold for 0.01 BEF each, go to last page).

For example, if you wish to donate 5 gold, buy 0.05 BEF from the NBB-BNB offer listed at 1 BEF = 100 Gold.

2. Donate directly the Country account - Click the "Donate" tab under "Belgium" (for donating money: gold, BEF and other CC).



Any questions, feel free to contact:

Ward De Bever the Country President
Splashdog, the Minister of Finance

As always, the current accounts of the State Treasury can be viewed at:
Belgian State Accounting Sheet

Donations may take a day or two to appear in the Country accounts. If you have donated and your name doesn't appear on the Donations tab of the State Accounts, please contact the government.



Right now our Treasury stands at:

1961 gold
73677 BEF

in addition to [country account]

19.88 gold
127191.40 BEF



For the Future, the ministry is planned to run as manifested earlier by our newly elected CP:

1. Keep taxes at current levels - a balance between economic stimulus, enough funds for treasury and state-level solidarity.

2. State budget - the current voted budget: (85% of monthly income) minus alliance costs minus the BTA budget = the BAF budget. BTA will be allowed a 8000 BEF budget.

3. The holder of the NBB-BNB password backup will be called Minister of Finance. He will also update and review the Country Accounting sheet daily, effect payments for the state budget, register donations on the Accounting sheet and do weekly reporting in-game.

4. The NBB-BNB account (Treasury) will be available to the CP for national security purposes only: for mercenary hiring (not wellness packs!) in case our sovereignty is threatened. However, Congress needs to be informed in advance and feedback will be taken into account. For amounts above 50 gold during the CP term, a binding 24 hour Congress vote will be held.

5. Land or company grant schemes will only come into effect after Congress approval and after inclusion as a directive in an eventual next CP program.

6. No monetary market interventions will happen with the sole purpose of strengthening or weakening the BEF value.

7. This CP candidate will, if elected, donate the 5 gold from the CP medal to the state. (Done)
