\n After the Central Bank switched to a floating currency regime last December, prices for staple goods skyrocketed. Merchants worry about the lack of customers, while customers are not happy about the price hikes.\n<\/p>\n

\n With fluctuating prices and unsettling uncertainty, traders have to adjust accordingly. Domino is the only thing that keeps their mind off worries.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cAt the moment, the prices for goods go up and down, and we have to adjust accordingly,\u201d he added. \u201cThere is no business. Therefore, we play domino to take our minds off these matters. Otherwise, we would go nuts from over-thinking. Otherwise, we might realize the need to do something. The best thing we can now do is keep our minds busy. We don\u2019t know what else to do.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n A senior lady, a grandmother who has to work at her advanced age, has the same problem. Once she heard that the dollar rose in value again, she exclaimed: \u201cOh God, what are we to do next?!\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cAfter the so-called Olympics were held, business completely dried out,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is dead. Listen, my dear, people are poor, they can\u2019t provide for themselves. What can they do?! It is impossible to make ends meet. Everyone is suffering.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Customers find themselves in the same predicament. Their purchasing powers diminished overnight.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cEverything is expensive. Nothing is cheap here. Therefore, I haven\u2019t gotten anything for my family. Being poor is tough. We haven\u2019t been able to buy anything since the prices went up,\u201d one woman told Meydan TV.\n<\/p>\n
