While the liberalization of car prices has not yet reached the point in the twists and turns of government meetings, car industry activists believe that if this action is courageous and implemented based on the experience of two decades ago, prices will return to normal within three months and demand False will be removed from the car market.
Khodrocar - Nearly a decade has passed since the mandatory pricing in the automotive industry, and during this time the Competition Council has relied on a formula that was fundamentally wrong, leading to billions in losses to automakers.
Although thanks to the Minister of industry and his emphasis on removing the automotive industry from monopoly and creating competition, meetings have been held to eliminate pricing formulas and liberalize pricing, but it seems that there is still no courage to implement this decision because before It is predicted that psychologically, inflation will be imposed on society.
Meanwhile, industry activists believe that the market is now pulling this trend and we can see the return of prices to normal by enduring the three-month period, because now the current formula has only led to the loss of carmakers.
Ahmad Nematbakhsh, secretary of the Iranian Automobile Manufacturers Association, in an interview with Khodrocar reporter, emphasizing that the current model of car pricing by the Competition Council is to reach into the pockets of shareholders of automotive groups, says: Now automakers are producing some About 40 to 50 million Tomans are lost from cars, which is contrary to the procedure of the Competition Council, which not only does not apply inflation in car pricing, but also predicts a 50% increase in car production.
He adds: "As production increases along with losses, the automaker's liquidity decreases and as a result, its demands on the automaker increase, which will be overshadowed as a result of the activity of parts manufacturers to achieve a production leap."
