I always thought we are less lucky because we do not have this credit cards system here is Syria, which I thought meant less options and less chances to develop or do business. But now I say thank God we do not have it.

Analysts say that we too, in the developing countries, are going to face financial problems, but I don't think they will be as severe as yours.

I hope the current crisis will find a solution soon and that damages will be in minimum, Inshallah.
