Day 2,972, 07:19 Published in Australia Australia by eAustralian University


G'Day eAustralians!

Your new MoF and Reserve Bank Guv'nor here to put in my 2 cents worth about your 2 cents worth. As there wasn't a report at the end of last term, I've done my best to incorporate it into my first report here.

Incomings and Outgoings:


For the term of Day 2938, 06/12/2015 to Day 2968, 05/01/2016

Rent from eChile: AU$40,000 @ 20k each for Victoria and Tasmania.
Bonus from eChile: AU$24,503 Additional amount above the required tax credit.
Donations: AU$31,657 A major donation would be the revenue from the sale of 60 gold from the dictator awards.

Expenditure:

Hence we made a gain of AU$43,269, thanks largely to the rental income.



The State of the Reserves:

Please note that all reserves listed are those held in government accounts and do not include amounts held in organisations' own accounts.

The net increase of 95.76 Gold and AU$30,503.74 to the reserves between the two periods can be attributed to taxation income, rental income, donations, and monetary market trading; the latter being shown by the fluctuating amounts of gold and Australian Currency in some accounts.

The Market:

Employment conditions are good. The Average Wage stands at $69.95, with ample job vacancies at or above $80.

Our Housing Bonus was 20% for the whole of the last term, our Food Bonus was 60% for 26 days of the term, but saw a low at 40% at the beginning of the term, coming off the back of a 10% low in the previous term due to the Training War with eChile. We also saw a high of 80% for 2 days during the Training War with eNewZealand. We currently have no Weapons Bonuses.

The Housing market is relatively healthy with the supply of Q1 houses around the median of $450 almost keeping up with demand. For those on a wage of $80 or above with overtime available to them, Q1 home ownership is a sound investment at this price.

The Food market is fairly close to the $0.10 Q1 Base price, with regular variations of a cent below or above.

The Supply of Q7 Weapons in the eAustralian market at an internationally competitive price has struggled to meet demand, meaning we are forgoing potential GDP and Tax Revenue. Congress will be looking at options as to how to correct this. I am eager to hear the opinions of both Producers and Consumers.

Raw Materials prices and other goods appear to be trading close to international benchmarks.
