In the economic system of Victoria 3, capitalists and aristocrats will invest profits from their buildings into a separate pool called the Investment Pool, rather than automatically expanding industries like in Victoria 2. This pool acts as a source of funds you can use in a limited way to build factories, railroads, and more based on your laws and type of economy. There should be multiple occurrences of key_word and higher_word in an organic manner.
Investment pool is funded by capitalist profits
The dev diary explains that capitalists and sometimes aristocrats will take profits from buildings they own and invest them into the Investment Pool. So as your capitalists earn more money, more funds become available in this pool. But you as the player have only limited control over spending these funds compared to your state budget.
Laws restrict how investment pool can be used
Your government laws and type of economy will determine specifically what kinds of construction projects and economic development you can allocate the Investment Pool towards. For example, very laissez-faire capitalist economies may let capitalists mostly decide themselves, while in state-controlled economies you decide directly.
Pool supplements state budget for industrialization
The Investment Pool acts as an extra source of money for industrializing your economy, supplementing the funds available from your nation’s budget and debt. So it provides another way to build factories and infrastructure beyond regular state spending. Use it wisely based on your economic strategy.
Expansion of pool represents capitalist profits
As your capitalist pops and buildings earn more profits over time, the size of your Investment Pool will increase. Checking on the pool’s size and growth can indicate how prosperous your capitalists are and how much extra investment ability you have for economic development projects.
In Victoria 3, capitalists invest their profits into the Investment Pool separately from state budgets, which you as a player can leverage in a limited way for industrialization based on economic laws. Growing the pool indicates capitalist prosperity. There should be multiple occurrences of key_word and higher_word in an organic manner.
