Cheap Imports

A high amount of Cheap Imports is a situation where a consumers start buying foreign-made products instead of domestic products in large numbers, causing the nation's GDP to fall by up to 12% and upsetting the country's Trade Unionists.

People turn to cheap imports often due to a mix of low Productivity and a Corporation Tax causing the supply of domestic products to fall, thus causing their price to rise. Fixing the productivity or tax issues can reduce the price of domestic products, as can enacting Import Tariffs.
