The SFIA was set up in order to help meet development goals of various Soviet member states. In the 3200s many national economies were weak and there was broad support for a new way to strengthen development. The proposal was easily passed and work set out, very slowly at first, to set up a functional organisation. Since its inception, it has played a vital role in creating stability and growth. Talks have been in the works to launch a second "federal corporation" though there is some debate about whether it would be sustainable.
