Re: How is business?
This ramzan is expected to be bloody for a lot of us in IT
small dealers running away every 2 weeks is normal now but there is a large IT firm with an outstanding above 40 million dizzers to the distis who hasnt paid anyone in the past 2 months which probably will go this summer
most of its exports were west of the border here, isnt that a surprise

Re: How is business?
Not sure if you are joking or not, but the saudi government is considering doing that to the contractors.
The IOUs can then be converted into yielding instruments at the banks.

Dubai Rents Plunge Most Since 2014 as Jobs Dry Up From Oil Rout - Bloomberg
residential rents in Dubai, where the majority of the population is foreign, declined the most on a monthly basis since the property peak of two years ago, according to Phidar Advisory.
“Landlords are finding it more difficult to rent homes, especially larger and more expensive ones,” Jesse Downs, managing director at Phidar, an advisory firm specializing in real estate, said in a phone interview Sunday. That is mostly due to “recent job losses and a decline in job growth rates.”

Re: How is business?
After the dust clears over the summer, it will be interesting to see who is left. Our compound has dropped to the lowest rent i've known it in over 8 years.

Re: How is business?
Rents seem to have barely budged in Marina/Greens/Downtown.
Not that it matters. I've just been given the marching orders to Doha
Either I find a new job pronto or it's Dohell come August
