Sigh... Indexes give an indication of how your country is doing and what your priorities are. I'm not going to explain them all here because that would take way to much time. But you might want to check your corps.

With those kind of indexes you can easily have a much higher production. Some of your corps are not functioning for 100% or you're playing some very low salaries.

Check the indexes page.
You will see that with certain levels of your indexes you can move to higher game levels, your score will increase and you will receive gold coins awards.

With higher indexes your welfare will also increase. This in turn increases the production level and profitability in your corporations.

I got business index & production up to 124% in some of my countries. Is this a limit or can they go higher?

Hello,

They can go much higher. But there is a point where the extra costs don't compensate for the extra production. Where this point lies depends on many factors.

Very true Letsie
The main factor when you try to go higher is the salary factor.

You will need to increase salaries very high and it is questionable if the increase in productivity will be higher than the increased cost of salaries.

The break even is not the same in all types of corporations.

Pushing other indexes very high has its limits too. At some point the country welfare index will stop increasing while your cost may keep going up.

Very high salaries benefit the country because workers pay income tax. High income tax revenue can provide an unconventional economic strategy. The high salaries also help to increase the welfare index.

But those higher salaries also need to be payed. And there are also countries with low salaries and lower welfare indexes but with a very decent profit margin.

I'm sorry Wolfgang but there just isn't 1 simple answer. If you've got more questions feel free to post or pm them.
