SURPLUS TO GO TO LAB MEAT SUBSIDY AND AIRCRAFT PURCHASES

(If it’s in the Monsoon, it’s got to be true)
 
Finance Ministry, June 17, 5713:  After receiving a report on the extent to which revenue was generating a surplus for the budget, Finance Minister Nazir al-Sayed was asked by The Monsoon what was his thinking on the suggestion of a common currency in SOMECO, and he replied:
 

The proposal seems like a sound one likely to be good for promotion of trade.  Jumhuriat al-Badara is quite prepared to cooperate should that initiative be pursued at some point.

 
The Monsoon asked if there was likely to be a surplus and, if so, and whether it would go to a sovereign wealth fund or to expenditures, and the Finance Minister responded:
 

In point of fact, revenues have produced a sufficient surplus for budget expansion.  The Ministerial Council has addressed this eventuality, and the first use of the surplus this revenue cycle will be to restart the production of laboratory grown meat.
 
This process has long been available but never made an effective business.  Believe the Kundrati Union tried after learning the process from Deltaria some years ago.
 
Be that as it may, we think it could be very useful in emergency situations such as disaster relief and aid for refuges which Terra regularly creates.  The thinking is a government owned facility is where we begin probably with a university operating it.  If investors want in so much the better.

And that will not exhaust the surplus this year. The Ministerial Council has decided some military aircraft purchases from New Dawn Nashwa will be the second use of the surplus.
