Kalistani Economy falls off a cliffInvestors take a bath, Government considers raising taxes

The Government of Kalistan announced that withdrawals from the Republican National Bank have been suspended today, suggesting that the Ruble is joining the long list of economic woes to hit the Republic. The panic which set in for Kalistani stocks following the death of Al-Khali has now spread to the currency, and a currency crisis is most assuredly on the horizon.
Kalistani National Industries stocks have fallen more than 60% since May, and the many sectors in the Private sphere have lost significantly more. Many businesses throughout the Republic are experiencing slowdowns and laying people off, which puts an additional strain on the social spending system. All of this has wiped out almost 5 years of reserves stored at the bank, and has brought liquidity in the Monetary system to virtually nothing. The Finance Minister therefore decided to suspend withdrawals to protect the ability of the Republic to continue to function properly.
A suspension of withdrawal means that currency supply in the society will be frozen and investors will lose confidence in the Bank, specifically in pulling their investments from the bank. The Finance Minister has outlined a series of policies that are aimed at staving off a monetary crisis in Kalistan, including soaking up excess elasticity in the monetary market through an increase in taxes for the upper classes, as well as limited divestment in some of the National Industries. Additionally, Hashimoto will be promoting FDI abroad, as he scrambles to find new investors from other countries.
In other news, Interim President Reina has called for new elections to fill the seats in the National Assembly. She has announced her intention to name Hashimoto as the New Premier.
