Quote:Esteemed colleagues,

Welcome; and especially to our friends from Bianjie. Welcome to the northwestern coasts of the ancient lands of Majatra. Please treat yourself to Majatran coffee and the delicacies at the buffet.

Let's get started.

Quote:We stand at a crossroads, as it seems. The Central Bank of Amudim, the International Neset Fund [tilts head to Greedman] and the Finance Office of Amudim itself are under the close watch of the City State of Tel Bira and away from Yishelem's own central government tendrils.

None of us trust Yishelem - and neither do Bannerhafen and Wiel. After all, Amudim's reunification amendment to the Haniyaret stipulates that all fiscal policies and assets of either all across the Holy Land  fall under the jurisdiction of Tel Bira.

The Central Bank around these lands is merely a supporting framework for the Neset's banking [tilts head to delegates from several Yeudi financial conglomerates]. We do not intervene. The Shekel itself is merely a decorative currency, for Tel Bira speaks the language of international currencies, instead.

Yishelem pesters us for more overwatch - the Neset fights against it.

And we sit in the middle - but we're troubled.

How does Bianjie handle its financial policies both internally and aboard? We understand the geopolitical climate in Dovani - relative to the West's notorious capitalist agendas - is not that simple.

We don't exactly know how to navigate this new landscape, ourselves.

Quote:First of all, I would like to thank you for invitation, and it is a pleasure to be here. I do believe that at this point our national economic ideology is persuing stability, both financially and diplomatically, but at the same, we highly value international cooperation with countries who do not stand in the way of our shared interest, that is, in my opinion, prosperity. So, we are interested in working alongside you.

At the same time, I do understand, and feel quite sorry that you find yourself in such a rather precarious sitaution, with regards to Yishelem, but, personally, I would say that Tel Bira is managing it professionaly regardless.

On the currencies, I would like to that, that I found quite interesting, we in Bianjie have been trying to launch this discussion with our fellow Dovanian compatriots, however, I am sure you do understand it is quite hard to find an agreement in such a diverse politically continent, that is Dovani, especially when it comes to the common currency. However, personally, and maybe my colleagues sitting here [points at the CEOs of Bianjian banks] would also find themselves in agreement with me, that the growing stance of our currency on global financial arena, g'an, is also in our interest.

But with regards to that you asked, I do feel that I already if not fully, then at least partially answered your question. Bianjie is persuing stability, through our experience of bringing both capitalist and communist states together, and I do think that pan-Dovanism truly  does bring everyone together, and that helps us acheive our financial policies. Though obviously, not everything is possible, as I've already mentioned earlier. But, as of right now, I would say pan-Dovanian ideology and cooperation is the most valuable tool to achieve your goals.

Quote:So basically, what are you proposing is, to, say, make both g'an and Gemun Stock Exchange as the sort of central Dovanian financial tools, that will be used to help financial operation both within and out of the continent, to basically replace what has been Lourennais franc's mission before their slow downfall of world domination, if I am getting you right here.

Before you answer, I do agree, and I do admit I have had various with colleagues in the financial sector of Bianjie, some of whom are also present here, and we did discuss strengthening g'an's role in the Dovanian financial operations, so if I am getting you right here, I do agree it could be a nice idea, and we are willing to try it out.

At the same time, you can let Mr. Greedman speak, we are here to discuss our shared cooperation, don't we? So at least us hear him out on this, maybe his pitch would be a nice proposal to my colleagues out there.

Quote:Yes, obviously, I think pegging g'an is not the brightest and bestest idea, because it is not quite strong, despite all of my patriotic feelings and hopes for its bigger role, which I am sure we will be working on [looks at Bank of Bianjie president Taksi Cemgun], and clearly, even though I wanna believe in the greater Dovanian project, one cannot be 100% sure about it not suddenly collapsing one day, so we must not also get too attached and try to revolve everything around it.

Still, an index currency, that does sound interesting, cause I am not sure if it was implemented somewhere, and I have certainly not heard about this ever. But, indeed, I am sure GEMEX can serve as the central business headquarters of Dovani, at least we will be working towards it through our internation cooperation, and getting Dovanian friends on boards. And, also good point on keeping national currencies independent, because I do believe that is a certain issue with a common currency proposal, which, personally, even I am not completely behind, because I understand that this would be merely possible to do in Dovani.

Still, I do see what you mean, and I think it is something that is worth trying or, for the very least, considering as an option for the future, and closer discussions with our closest allies in home and abroad.

As for Mr. Greedman, I do appreciate you standing on the business, I will not push it, because after all, you are hosting us. Though, I must advice Mr. Greedman, that we barely have your fellow countryman in most Dovanian countries, so despite all your tries, it might be a useless attempt at expansion. But, I do personally appreciate the enthusiasm. [chuckles]
