APARNA KHURJEKAR: So we're definitely seeing, even the surveys, showed that they are seeing the tightening, the top line sort of starting to put some pressure there. They're seeing the cost increase. And they are going into their cash reserves, and they don't have much of that. So, yes, what they've got to do is start thinking through where it is that they look for the line of credit, but also places where they can be stopping to invest and find places where they can invest to help with productivity.
