By doing this, you are encouraging transfer buying.
If your PSAs are purchasing from SFI ECAs in their country instead of from the local supermarkets and shops at the mall, they are in effect purchasing from their own store. They are keeping their money within SFI. This helps SFI grow, contributes to the TripleClicks Executive Pool and it also helps the PSAs. They not only receive the goods but at a cheaper rate and they also earn the VPs associated with the goods.
Goods are generally cheaper if they are manufactured and sold locally because additional expenses such as shipping costs, customs duties etc.. are drastically reduced or eliminated altogether. Goods sold by local ECAs should therefore be cheaper than goods sold by ECAs outside of their country.
Purchasing from ECAs in their own country also helps the local economy.
