Formation of the CERD as the NCB shuts down black market exchange offices while intrest rates are hicked up, the NRB officially left to float on the market's wishes: fixing a broken machine

Petrograd, Kozaki. Today the central bank through its governor have officially began the biggest witchhunt in the history of Nadiys that being the war against black market currency exchanges. The issue has an open secret for years as most Nadiyans used them to exchange the NRB for foreing currencies according to unofficial rates that usually had the NRB at an even worse position than official reports, as such the central bank tried back against those practices to no avail until recently. Evelina Maximovna held a press conference in which she stated that black market transaction will be integrated into the official banking system alongside the suspicion of licences for any financial institution partaking or accepting the practices within their establishment, during the conference reports came that an organized crackdown was orchestrated by the NCB and the police. Thousands were arrested and millions of NRB alongside millions in foreing currencies were seized and directly funneled to the bank's reserves, the move shook the entire confederation as some see it as illegal and an overreach of the central government against the institutions of the Confederal republics yet those protests were silenced as the supreme court in the case of Kaiserberg Credit Union V. Central Bank of Nadiya, they ruled the constitutionality and legality of the measures done by Evelina and they even allowed the bank to continue and ramp up the policies as long as "it is within the mission to stabilize the Nadiyan financial system and its institutions". Shortly after the rulling, Evelina held another press conference in which she declared that the bank will hike up interest rates to 5% and that the ruble will officially be decoupled from any state intervention in favor of market driven value as a temporary measure to stabilize its prices, the announcement was a bombshell for the financial sector as it is the first time in nearly 300 years that Nadiya left its currency to the whim of the market, the stock markets started soaring immediately and investors wanted to eagerly buy the debt checks from the bank as the value of the NRB started finally increasing. And in order to help in the bank's ambitious reforms, Evelina announced the formation of the Commission for Economic Reformation and Development, the new agency will allow for a decentralized implementation of the reforms and new policies according to the local and regional conditions of each Republic alongside transmitting reports of local developments to the central bank which allow them to make the necessary changes in the institution.
