More is being done to reduce cash overflows in many countries, trying to bring them back to a positive territory.
This is done in several different ways.
we have recently helped some countries that were in a situation that cannot be corrected any more.
Some of the debt and negative cash dated from a period with a very different exchange rate and with declining rates and lower numbers in general for both income and cost, these loans became too large to handle.
we have added some cash and brought some countries back to a more manageable situation.
We are also offering one time donations to free players under some conditions. They can request this help when they go to a country with high debt.
The max level of negative cash is now 22T. about 70 countries have such cash levels and cannot be played until some cash is added.
These countries have stopped ordering products and as a result, cash levels are improving somewhat. there are however severe product shortages.
we are considering the lowering of all salaries in countries with such cash shortages.
such measures will reduce the cost, make corporations more profitable but will also reduce the welfare index.
The total of debt in countries is declining now and with the continuation of these measures, it will soon reach acceptable levels.
new features that make the movements of money easier with a single click were added two weeks ago and are used massively.
We can already see that when cash problems are small. players solve them immediately.
We should move to a cash positive situation.
Countries will spend when they have the money and will have more incentive to become profitable. |

Tom, for premium members who run debt in certain countries, can you remove the stoppage of ordering supplies? I have no problem adding cash to these countries when I feel its necessary. |

Currently it is only in countries with cash lower than -22T and 6T in debt.
once you add cash and go above this level, everything returns to normal. |

Has the debt limit been changed to 6T? Last I heard it was 7T though I did also hear that is was going to fall lower so I'm not surprised to see it at 6T. Any idea how low its going to fall and how fast? Also I agree steps have to be taken to reduce negative cash, a -22T negative cash amount is just silly thats huge, personally I think it would be a lot better if the debt limit was 28T and there was no such thing as negative cash, after all its very unrealistic you cant spend to negative cash in the real world, if you can't borrow the money you need then you cant buy it. |

How would this help? When cash goes back into the country it will just use it to order the products it needed for the longest time and put the country back into debt. The process repeats and repeats until you put enough cash in the country for it to order everything it needs and have some left over. |
