East Malvidas is a small island country with big economic problems. Currently the unemployment rate is 16 percent and the price level is increasing at a rate of 20 percent a year. Gross Domestic Product fell again this year, marking the second straight year of a prolonged recession. Income taxes (where the federal government receives most of its revenue) are highly progressive and the top marginal tax rate is 90 percent, impacting the incomes of 30 percent of the population.
Over the past several years the money supply has been increasing at a 30 percent annual rate and the country has run both a federal budget surplus and a trade surplus. Tariffs on foreign goods are some of the highest in the world and many countries have retaliated by placing quotas on exports from East Malvidas. Thus, exports are a small part of the country's economic output.
With national elections two years away, the governing authorities are anxious to get the economy turned around before they have to stand for reelection.
