Centralised banks are important. I can't overstate how important they are.

I think we should increase our income first before embarking on establishing credit and infrastructure organizations.

Shouldn't this be Ymaryn-Khemetri?

If we set this up right, it'll keep paying for itself for centuries to come. Plus it will reduce expenses in trying to oppose Europeans on the high seas.

Being a properly ancient bureaucracy will be a big advantage here that should allow our traders to surpass the efforts of the europeans.
 
I think a bank would make sense if we had better cashflow and were focused more on financial support to anti-Syffrynite factions.
However, it appears that we don't have spare money lying around, and also our support to allies is typically more diplomatic/administrative/industrial than financial - so I'm going to go with the trade focus instead.

The first ever thing we built was a stone age channel.
And we will receive incredible trade benefits from building a channel to Khemetri - we considered doing it shortly after the Khem war, after all!
Hey, we need money to pay for stuff! I know, let's start a grand project that will take long to build, with unknown chance of success and little immediate revenue after completion!

See cash problems only exist if we have curency that is backed by something, we just need to invent fiat money and most problems should be dealt with. And the southsea trading company functioned by a similar concept so it should not be too hard.

My stomach churns with how much risk we are taking. Gold standard better work.

Independent internal banking.
Big problem here is that internal isn't going to do anything about recovering the resource outflow. The cash isn't being inefficiently used inside, but spent outside.
So it won't really help except figure out more complex debt instruments

Focus on Indian Ocean trade, so contesting the Indian subcontinent.
Our big advantage is the shortcut we offer to reach the north by the literal shortest path, though on the other hand we don't have anything they want exceptionally badly outside of our manufactured products.
Would thus need to run the manufactories HARD to make it work.

Increase the flow of gold and cotton from Khem, but worsens the slavery situation by encouraging de-facto slavery

[] Ymaryn-Khemtri Canal Company (1.1x)

Create the insanely expensive canal that outright bypasses Africa.
It'd WRECK the Syffrynite entire business model, they'd be forced to look towards America.

The drawback is that our own Monsoon Sea access would drop in value as a result, and Khem would have what it takes to rise to Great Power. With a megaproject to memorialize our cooperation.
On the other hand they can build it eventually. It's just a matter of time, better to be a major shareholder when its done. Both our civs have megastructure legacies. We can make it work while the Pyramids Stand.
On the third, eldritch hand, they almost certainly won't take this lying down and will do their damndest to sabotage the effort.

Go for the tea in China. Would involve securing SE Asia.
Would involve well...pushing Opium to a civilization without any prior exposure

[] Far East Trading Company (0.8x)

Go for Japan. Not sure why, but theres the trans-pacific route eventually.

[] North-East Fur Trading Company (0.8x)

Trading northern furs. Rather limited I think. The main use is running it through Gylruv and pushing our influence further.

Personal preference then.
