mort100 I only do public subsidies to improve retail markets; the category-specific retail projects seem to bring more cost than benefit. I tried them a few times in the past and tracked the results, but it wasn't worth it. Do you have a different experience with it?
Jeka said that by boosting the same category all the time he managed to boost the incomes to awfully high wealth index levels. Maybe it would have a negative effect on other categories.
Lagos is by far the largest source of potential consumers, but it would also require higher wages. Again, it might kill production there, but would become the best target for sinking expensive merchandise. Jewelry and/or evil cars would be the wisest market categories to boost, judging by the city retail incomes. But that risky bet might have a negative impact on manufactured goods and clothing, that are the next two better categories in the current retailing environment, aswell as foodstuff and such that are the most abundant ones.
