Siggary in Recession
Analysts Perplexed at Sudden Economic Slowdown

After another month of poor financial performance, Siggarian economic analysts are wondering what went wrong in their economic powerhouse of a nation. A record 93% drop in income last month from the benchmark August financial statement was brushed aside as simple market fluctuations. Many predicted that the Siggarian economy would get back on its feet as economic fundamentals were still strong.

However, income this month was 80% lower than the benchmark August statement. Although subtle, evidence for an economic slowdown are becoming clear. Companies are handing out severence packages for their workers and the civil service has stopped hiring employees. Many Siggarian companies have been quietly receiving government grants to keep them afloat. In spite of the economic doom and gloom, others say that the recession is simply a natural cycle of capitalism and the Siggarian economy will ride the storm out. Although no official comment has been made, rumors have it that the Queen is extremely worried about the worsening economic climate.
