Central Bank of Legoland president Mr Printus Moneyus has resigned from his post after a brief meeting with Emperor David at the CBL headquarters in the Legoland capital today. It is thought that the Emperor, angry at a perceived mismanagement of the economy by the bank during his 2 week sojourn in Playmobil, forced Moneyus’ hand by announcing that his personal security guard would be removed to save taxpayer’s money if he didn’t go. With this morning’s assassination of the Department of Finance head, Dr Fidelus Accountus, by Al-Kyeda militants and their publicised threat to kill all members of the financial system, Moneyus apparently decided the risks were too great.

His departure was preceded by his final act, the lowering of the main refinancing rate, action understood to have been carried out under orders by the Emperor himself. The rate has been reduced by 2 whole percentage points to a record low of 3%. Economists have stated that this is an attempt by the CBL to stimulate the economy by making more money available to the commercial banks to loan.

Speaking briefly to the press after his surprise visit, Emperor David said he was not happy with Moneyus’ performances during the economic crisis. “He didn’t do enough to try and replenish the state’s coffers and had to pay the price, excuse the pun”. The great leader, showing off his nice tan, said he enjoyed his state visit to King Brunelesky of Playmobil where he was accompanied by immigrant minifig rights advocate Ms Claudia D’Impaciente. “Playmobil is a strange land but one ruled by a level-headed king. I am sure our relations with the kingdom will go from strength to strength”, he said.
