(HBC - Amber City) With the recent exodus or kidnapping of foreign
nationals by radical extremists in the Amber Government and their
holding to ransom, the Amber economy threatened by communist style
nationalizations has started to teeter. Lord Suhuy, head of the
Intercreation Banking Council and owner of the Big Seven Banks, ordered
Amber's Credit Rating to be dropped from D+ to D-, resulting in higher
interest payments and harder and more costly negotiations in order to
borrow future money.
Suhuy also announced that all businesses in Amber City are to be
declared in wartime conditions and said that insurance companies do not
have to pay for damages done. Other Amber territories are not affected.
The Suhuyean banks have begun to move operations to the Amber Islands
where their main branches never left.
Five hundred businesses are now in the process of transfering to the
Amber Islands.
