To Mobaidullah Mohamed who runs a small breadmaking shop... this is his comment to an economic downturn in Qatar...
"All i know is make rotis and i do that well" he said.
He and other 3 workers churn out rotis from 9Am till 12midnight. The workers are paid QR1200 a month after paying for wheat and other essentials, rent and utility bills, Mobaidulla makes around QR1500.
" I didn't go to school.. i cannot read or write... if you write my nane and show it to me, I wont be able to recognise it"
Word of mouth is what he depends on for information. His world is comfortably closed to the wide world of economic tumult, stock markets or banks....
"all i know is that a 50KG bag of whear used to cost me QR40, but now QR117. Prices have gone up, so i increased the price of roti from QR.50 to QR1."
