Hello,

I will try and replicate the problem in a few days. The issue is that when a trade is under-funded then the resource is still lost by the country that can afford the trade (when both are controlled by the AI, but it might be the same for humans too), but the recipient who does not have the money to pay for it neither loses the money nor recieves the resource. (I.e. Germany trades 90 energy for $6 with Italy daily - even if Italy cannot afford that $6, Germany would still lose that 90 energy, but Italy would not gain it and it would not lose $6).

Are you sure about this? I vaguely recall when playing germany that i ended up with unwanted stockpiles because Italy could not fund imports with proper money.

There might be one explanation for what you experienced. Unfunded imports resource vs. money donnot happen for the importer, neither in fact nor for the trading tab. They donnot happen for the exporter in fact, but they do happen for the exporter in terms of the trade tab, if only for the resource and not for the money. That is meant to prevent exporting resource surplusses that only last for a day.
