Finance Office addresses Melikvan's concerns on ongoing NSA investigation into Egelian-related accounting discrepancies

January 5683

Tel Bira - "It's important to understand that the enhanced accounting standards introduced by the Triad Republic in 5679 are an integral part of the Bankaut, of which Pontesi has been a member of for decades", were the opening remarks of the Finance Secretary on Monday morning. The press conference was added to the books following his counterpart's prior statements expressing Pontesi's intense frustration with the NSA. 

"The investigation is also limited to Egelian-related transactions, which, considering the activity of Egelian banks in Pontesi and the intertwined commercial nature of the Triad Republic, the City States of Amudim and Pontesi itself, presented issues with financial authorities", he explained.

"These issues were expected - and we've been told that Melikvan was aware of potential friction - as Egelion operates entirely independently of any and all of the Neset's frameworks, the BIFI included. That raised alarms, which unfortunately led to a number of fines earlier last year, since Egelian-backed loans and derivatives, even those brokered by Nor Ughin and other Pontesian banks, did not conform to the system's accounting standards".

"After all, we've been doing extensive business together across many industries for more than a century, all 3 of us", he concluded, expressing hope that the issue will be resolved with Melikvan's leading hand in potential trilateral negotiations with Altea.

"No, I believe Egelion refused to join BIFI", he responded when asked whether any commercial talks had occurred with the Kerisian state. "We can confirm, however, that the Foreign Office will be attending Corte Concordia, in the hopes of enacting relations with Altea - since we have none".

"No, neither does the Triad Republic" [drinks water] "yes, I mean no relations whatsoever with Egelion".
