Bacha XVII appoints Remuz as the Royal Bank's governor, leaving him in charge of monetary policy. While Remuz personally favors privatization over price controls, he implements the latter under Bacha XVII's guidance, as the House of Zhifol does not want to privatize its many crown corporations, since it would be seen as an admission of managerial incompetence and likely lead to a rise in unemployment.
