Recent major moves Currency Holdings diversification. To stabilize the value of the monetary fund against regional economys, the Dragon Empire has sought out the currency of its states and neighbors to hold in its reserves to meet the above stated diversification objectives as part of its cash portfolio. Additionally, oil and precious metals were added to the portfolio as a recognized form of commodity which bordered upon status as its own currency. Further diversification is expected as the Empire seeks to stabilize the strength of its currency against the world's monetary supplies. The currency diversification with the nations in the portfolio was achievable because those nations either had open markets or were free trade partners of the Empire. Operation Global Currency Raptor Additionally, with the economic downturn in Palintine and the biological attack in Hansa Republic, the Empire has stepped in and bought massive quantities of these currencies off the market due to their devaluations. The currencies of the respective states rallied late in the day as it was a sure sign of global confidence in the recovery of the afflicted sectors. It was not long after the Dragon Empire announced their intent to intervene on behalf of the Hansa in helping in their domestic recovery efforts with foreign aid. If it is successful, the Empire will be the benefactor of a major windfall on Hansa's economic growth once the recovery begins. It is recognized that this is a very long term investment for the Empire and that returns may not be seen for several years, if not a decade, but they're almost guaranteed save for the collapse of the Hansa republic.. which the Empire does not see as happening any time soon. Distribution to the Maglev Fund 5 Billion of the currency reserves were forwarded to MUMS project managers.ds RP Stats Book in the OP.
