I work in Dubai, and the local expat Indian and Pakistani measure numerically according to their money, eg.
1 Lac is 100,000 - however they understand the 1 Lac part better than the global numerical standard, so 100,000 becomes 1,00,000.
Basically, all credibility of these stats went out the window at 2.13 when ISO was mentioned as 50 - 2,04,800!!
