I heard that:

- Tendency to increase in the Nº of industries/companies
- Tendency in the Price-Increase [due to the demand & not due to inflation]; particularly in the housing-sector
- Constantly Lowering Exchange-Rate
- etc, etc, etc.

True! Hopefully! May largely depend upon the will of the people to give up their lethargy + wake-up from their stupor!
