The government cut its own income/ 60 thousand billion Toman lose by banning vehicle importation

Khodrocar - Providing solutions for the balance in the car market, such as the import of second-hand cars, while the Association of Car Importers has proposed 11 liberalization of imports without relying on government foreign exchange resources, now the government has suffered a lot from this ban.

"The average annual import of 70,000 vehicles, the import of this amount of cars at an average rate of 25,000 dollars with a currency of 30,000 tomans will be worth 45,000 billion tomans, which, including 95% of the tariff, will be equivalent to 45,000 billion tomans.” Mehdi Dadfar, secretary of vehicle importers association told khodrocar reporter.

"9% tolls will be equal to 25 thousand billion Tomans, meanwhile 25% of the company's profit will be 5 thousand billion Tomans. These numbers, along with 12% numbering, which was about 7 thousand billion Tomans, are almost 60 thousand billion Tomans. Imports not realized.” He added.

"Another disadvantage of the ban was the suspension of customs clearance and car transport, as well as after-sales service, while 13,000 people were directly unemployed with the closure of companies and agencies.” He said.

"At best, it is possible to import 15,000 cars in the current situation, now the customer's purchasing power is greatly reduced, and since each car has a certain price, the customer can’t buy a car at any price, but no doubt with the release Import prices in the market will be halved.” He mentioned.

"Currently, the only buyers in the market are those who are trying to improve their car and there is no new purchase in the market. Currently, Santa Fe and Raufor are traded in the market for 3 billion Tomans and 2 billion and 800 million Tomans, respectively, but the elasticity of demand Inflation has decreased.” He said.

"Promise of import liberalization Based on the 11 solutions proposed by the association, the market price of imported cars will be halved one hundred percent, the procedure that has been adopted is contrary to this issue, while returning the situation to the previous routine can restore calm to the market.” He continued.

"Continuation of imports will be feasible with the solutions proposed by the association, because these solutions are without relying on the country's currency base, but policymakers do not intend to reduce car prices, but it seems that by increasing the price of domestic cars, this will be achieved.” He said.

"Automakers do not dare to stand up to public opinion in raising prices, but the advantage of this decision and its implementation shows that it has made a decision based on facts. For whatever reason, the cost of the car is high now, 30% of the cost is financial, and 20% of the cost is due to overhead costs, but one must dare to make the prices real.” He said.

" The Minister of Industry must have the courage to do so, because the profit from the place of production must go to the producer, and at the same time, the technique of regulating the market in a competitive market is the responsibility of the government, and in this case, the automaker has to reduce costs. It aims to produce itself competitively." He said.

"The association has proposals for importing cars without relying on the government's foreign exchange resources. The first solution is to use the foreign exchange resources of Iranians abroad, which is also approved by the Iranian embassy in a foreign country. In this situation, prices will be halved, but the intention is not to reduce prices, while the first goal should be to make the price real and find a way to sell it to the people.” He said.
