You can’t be successful in Europa Universalis 5 if your management and organizing skills aren’t top-notch. You will need to keep your economic status and finances up through production buildings. Eventually, you will be met with buildings that fail to generate a profit.
This can be devastating for your economy, so dealing with them first should be a priority. In this Europa Universalis 5 guide, I will tell you how you can get rid of these unprofitable buildings and get your economy back on track.
What is an Unprofitable Building in Europa Universalis 5
An unprofitable building can become the root for Employment. These special buildings have no market value, meaning that their goods don’t sell for a profit.
You may be wondering about what can make a building unprofitable. If the cost of importing raw materials is too much, the building will not generate a profit and become unprofitable. Don’t know how to fix them? Worry not, I got you.
How to Fix Unprofitable Buildings in EU5

Knowing how to fix these unproductive buildings can be pretty helpful. Without further ado, let’s get into fixing unprofitable buildings.
If you want it the easy way, just destroy them. But it can be a little loss for you, so I suggest you subsidize your buildings. This will enhance production by offering monetary assistance to keep production going.
As I mentioned above, the cost of raw goods and their import can affect a productive building. For that, you can build local RGOs. They will fix the supply and demand issues via the market trade, especially if the demand is higher outside your country.
You can also try building a structure that benefits from the output of an unprofitable building. Set your building’s production to automate, so you know why your building is becoming unprofitable. Just supply your goods on demand, and you are good to go.
If the building is too far or inefficient, consider relocating future ones or closing this one. If your economy is still developing, don’t rush high-maintenance buildings until you have the infrastructure.
