Iranians opt to ‘buy now, pay later’ as cost of living spirals

As Iran grapples with a spiraling cost of living, many citizens are turning to "buy now, pay later" installment plans to manage their expenses. Businesses are responding to the economic pressure by offering more flexible payment options and even cutting portion sizes in food delivery services. This shift comes amid an ongoing economic crisis exacerbated by the US-Israeli war, highlighting the broader implications for the region's stability and the daily lives of its people. It underscores the urgent need for effective economic measures to address these escalating challenges.
