Poll: Add a "Metrics" page for banks.

[David]

Would you like us to add a "Metrics" page for banks?

If so, please suggest what kind of metrics you would like the game to display:

The two most basic ones are:
>Return On Equity
>Return on Assets

The "Metrics" page will be grouped under the "Financial" tab.

Why not add extra metrics to all corporations?

My suggestion would be for a cash flow statement, and to be able to compare several years of data in one page, esp. the financial statements.
ROE and ROA are just for lazy detectives, but it won´t hurt to have them displayed somewhere...If it´s "overwhelming" one can always skip that tab!
My personal opinion is that the game is colorful enough. My interest lay elsewhere.

Thanks for listening to us fans.

By the way, I was going to suggest a new metric in my article "office space" called inverse ROA.
I think that would be kind of nice to have, useful.

I don't have any specific metrics to suggest, but the more information the better. That goes for both the banking but also just normal production.

I'd like to suggest an option to download game data into excel. It would be great if the player could have details of the company's operations that could be detailed in excel.

The new version 6.2.02 has an improved bank balance sheet which shows an additional column "% of total assets".

They show the following metrics:
-Deposits as a percentage of total assets
-Loans as a percentage of total assets

Since they are already shown in the balance sheet, they wouldn't need to be included in the new Metrics page.

Once we have received a reasonable number of user suggested metrics to fill up a page (like 4-8 metrics), we will consider implementing the Metrics page.

Update: In the upcoming version 6.3.00, the bank UI will display show the current Return on Equity and its historical data in the past 30 years in a graph.
