[MOF] Greetings & Agenda
touchofevil
First of all I would like to express my vote of thanks to Anzar Khan for his faith in me, and appointing me as a Finance Minister in his cabinet. I will try my best to repay the faith shown.
Agenda :
1) Getting economy back:
No points for guessing, that my main agenda would be getting our economy back. Being realistic about current situations, future changes and somewhat overall uncertainty of almost every aspect, I do not believe we will build a full fledged strong economy (Not in this term at least), but there's no reason why we can't have a sustainable economy.
Of course this includes multiple departments joining hands for various strategic decisions, and we shall be under no assumption that all things would always go our way.
2) Rental Agreements :
As far back as I can remember, Rental agreements have always been a major part of eIndian cash inflow. Sorting out some would help treasury for sure. Am sure Current Cabinet will have a discussion around it. As it involves a lot of negotiations and give and takes, I suspect it would take time.
3) Marketplace :
Any company owners here?
I know current state of the market, is not favorable. Its close to being dead, but it still has potential for revival. I will be trying my best to get us out of this gloom. But this needs a full support of our countrymen. Without support from you all, there's absolutely no way we can revive it.
4) Deflation :
Currently we are in a state of deflation. People don't wish to spend much, people wish to earn gold/CC. People leaving country due to economic gloom. It all sounds familiar. Though as against the usual definition of deflation, people today have purchasing power, and that is an encouraging thing. We will bring out more ways to spend, that can indirectly increase your purchasing power.
Note:
Of course, for us to be able to carry out this agenda, WE ALL MUST WORK TOGETHER.
We can only succeed together, or face the doom!!
I will release more details on above aspects soon, as we have more concrete decisions.
If any of you have any suggestions/comments/opinions around this agenda, feel free to get in touch.
- Finance Minister
Comments
1. most players in eIndia, I suspect, already have companies that produce the goods they need. Plus, the charity they receive from fighting and posting the result screen.
Also, working and training in a row, give them gold.
More or less, this is a kind of self sustaining economy which hardly encourage development of production.
Taxes do not matter very much, exept for the case of player that want to won super medals and need lot of gold/cc to buy busters, energy bars, etc.
2.Now that resources of regions have been reset, this rental bussines will be even more trickey. Actual user of the regions had, I presume, no wish to put resources on indian regions, so we have little to ... rent.
3. As long as players can self sustain themselves, and/or are sustained by public charity, I do not believe this will happen.
4. Money on circulation is an old problem of eR, but this is not deflation (all eR country have a huge amount of cc, and governments could not control that). That behaviour is the result of the causes I mentioned before (which are related more to the psychology of the players, not even economy) and is not a monetary problem.
Quite agree to most of the points. That is why main idea would be doing things together! This in itself is a huge challenge in RL, let alone virtual.
Let me be clear. What I have mentioned are the possible areas of improvement. All the uncertainties about future will surely keep us on a run!
Ok, let's see what will bring the cat 😃. Best of luck !
