The GM's should have a look at the materials purchased per country as it seems quite large and excessive now. I know most countries are now losing money because of it. |

Your country does not lose money because of materials purchases.
if the purchases are too large, they will last longer and the country will not order more for a longer period.
You can also change the quantities of product the country orders. |

I also noticed this problem too. It has becoming a huge expense, even in countries running profits. I have no idea where these materials are going. You'd think after such large purchases that they would be good for a while. |

I seriously cannot believe how bad things have gotten. I have countries with employment over 90%, high welfare indexes, still bleeding money every month. I adjusted country purchases to be just 7 months instead of 14, still draining. Funds being transferred over to state corps. This is not the game I was playing for the past 8 years.
I just don't get it.... I tried everything. |

Same on another discussion:
You set 7 months and the system changes it to 14 or
you set 7, it remains showing 7 and buys 14?
Buying more products, for a longer period, reduces your cash, not your profit at all.
having a higher storage of products in general, is a one time cash cost.
it is not a recurring cash problem because after buying a lot, the country, or corporation, will not purchase anything for a longer period.
How is the country bleeding?
is your income declining?
corporations pay taxes. More? less?
are corporations profitable?
which ones are? what about the market price of their products. |

Its probably the very high material costs for supplying certain of your corporations. Any corporation which as an example uses a large amount of natural resources (like Gasoline), is very difficult to make a profit because natural resources are always at maximum market price.
I've learned quickly not to build any more corporations whose primary raw material cost is Natural Resources (or any other product which is always maximum market price). |
