	During the Siliotti Chancellery, the Labour government of Mark Edwin was facing a summer of stagnant economic growth. Elected on the platform of maintaining the recovery-era growth of the Audrick Hill post-independence administration, Edwin's fears that slowing growth could impact the Labour government's chances of winning the next election led to his ordering of the then Chancellor, Alberto Siliotti, to slash interests rates in the hope of artificially boosting economic activity in the run up to a fall general election.

	Konty, as Governor of the Wiltshire Reserve, held an emergency meeting of the Council for Economic Growth, a committee established by Hill, to discuss the announcement made by Chancellor ~~Silotti~~. ~~For~~ his efforts, Konty described the risk to price inflation and damage to the stability of the mark in Wiltshire. ~~The~~ previous year saw Wiltshire's inclusion in the ~~Corporate Mark questioned by many outside Wiltshire~~ due to the depression ~~and general instability~~, which ~~impacted through monetary union~~ the ~~economies~~ of ~~other Doggerland economies~~. ~~Konty believed that a quick shift in~~ interest rates ~~could~~ see ~~a similar reaction~~, ~~as well as investors losing faith~~ in Wiltshire's ability to genuinely recover.		Konty, as Governor of the Wiltshire Reserve, held an emergency meeting of the Council for Economic Growth and Budget Responsibility, a committee established by Hill, to discuss the announcement made by Chancellor Siliotti. In his efforts, Konty described the risk of price inflation and damage to the stability of the mark in Wiltshire as "severe" under Edwin and Silotti's plan.

			He noted that the previous year, 3019, saw many international economists question Wiltshire's inclusion in the corporate mark due to the instability caused by the 3019 political crisis and subsequent depression, which risked the integrity of the mark outside of Wiltshire. In allowing such uncertainty of interest rates to return, Konty argued, would see such doubt in Wiltshire return. This, in the eyes of the Reserve, would risk Wiltshire's ability to genuinely recover at all and could not be allowed to take place.

	Chancellor Silotti called Konty "overly cautious" for his actions, stating that an unelected Reserve Governor could not stop the Chancellery, and by extension the Treasury, from amending the bond terms and conditions. Konty threatened to resign the same afternoon, forcing President Gaius Selan to order the Treasury to hand over full operational control of government bonds to the Reserve, where the Chancellor is merely co-head.

== Siliotti-Konty controversy ==
During the Siliotti Chancellery, the Labour government of Mark Edwin was facing a summer of stagnant economic growth. Elected on the platform of maintaining the recovery-era growth of the Audrick Hill post-independence administration, Edwin's fears that slowing growth could impact the Labour government's chances of winning the next election led to his ordering of the then Chancellor, Alberto Siliotti, to slash interests rates in the hope of artificially boosting economic activity in the run up to a fall general election.

Konty, as Governor of the Wiltshire Reserve, held an emergency meeting of the Council for Economic Growth, a committee established by Hill, to discuss the announcement made by Chancellor Silotti. For his efforts, Konty described the risk to price inflation and damage to the stability of the mark in Wiltshire. The previous year saw Wiltshire's inclusion in the Corporate Mark questioned by many outside Wiltshire due to the depression and general instability, which impacted through monetary union the economies of other Doggerland economies. Konty believed that a quick shift in interest rates could see a similar reaction, as well as investors losing faith in Wiltshire's ability to genuinely recover.

Chancellor Silotti called Konty "overly cautious" for his actions, stating that an unelected Reserve Governor could not stop the Chancellery, and by extension the Treasury, from amending the bond terms and conditions. Konty threatened to resign the same afternoon, forcing President Gaius Selan to order the Treasury to hand over full operational control of government bonds to the Reserve, where the Chancellor is merely co-head.

The controversy led to many praising Konty's sound economic leadership, while others cited it as civil service intereference against the progressive agenda of the Edwin-Siliotti government.

Following the EFR-WEA electoral scandal, Mark Edwin was recalled as Prime Minister and, as such, Siliotti was replaced as Chancellor of the Exchequer by conservative [[Jack L. Wilson|Jack Wilson]]. During his almost two-year Chancellery, Wilson never sought to amend the bond interest rate.
