Important: Ministry of Finance Announcement.

Day 1,240, 17:36 Published in Ireland Ireland by New Ireland Bank


Summary:

From today the Bank will be holding the Gold to IEP rate at 0.01. If you are an Irish Business or Citizen, message the Bank and we will sell you IEP at the rate of 0.006. Please shout this and spread the word.


Reasoning:

One of the issues the wider economy currently faces is the retention of Gold at a player level, causing poor liquidity, unpredictable market conditions and the excessive predatory buying of currency.

The first of a number of MoF initiatives to gain economic stability will tackle excessive speculation on the MM, which is one factor in the current unpredictability in the areas of wages and prices. This will be achieved by ensuring that the currency exchange is unviable for currency predators, who are currently keeping the value of the IEP artificially low. (240 IEP to 1 gold).

Holding the IEP rate at 0.01, up from 0.06, will dissuade foreign MM players who ultimately have to turn their currency back into gold. When the IEP to Gold rate returns to a market defined level (Probably 140 - 160) the bank will gradually reduce involvement in the other side.

Providing Irish businesses and citizens with a rate of 0.006 from the Bank will ensure that during this process it is not the Irish citizen who shoulders the burden.
