Bit of a scare there.
Looks like there's been an increase in the value of "premier" real estate, particularly "villas" in the Birmingham area.
Hopefully, just a temporary phenomenon.
The Financial Sector in the GCC
What is Suq Al Mal?
A market place of ideas for discussions on the financial sector in the GCC.
While I can only offer virtual shay and qahwa to those who vist my dukkan, I hope that will not stop you from entering.
And in the true spirit of the suq, come prepared to bargain - to counter my offer with your own bid.
The first price is usually not the last. Nor the best.
Though I can assure you that no other merchant has as fine an inventory as mine or has a smaller margin of profit.
However, we do have a rather strict policy on the acceptance of post-dated checks as you might guess from our masthead picture.
