It may not be an issue of choice in many circumstances. There is a lack of capital for business and a general recession taking place (Indonesia comes to mind; Thailand, to an extent, as well). The means just don't exist to power forward with long-term development plans, or even for people to fill their gas tanks as frequently as they have in the past.

While the problem is short-term, in all likelihood, short-term could mean many months.
