Separately, the automotive industry in Pakistan witnessed a significant revival in August 2024, with total auto sales climbing by 15% to 8,699 units compared to the same period last year.
According to data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), auto sales remained nearly stagnant in August 2024 compared to July 2024, showing only a 1% increase as the sector continues to recover from last year’s challenges.
In August 2024, the Pakistani automotive industry saw a 15% year on year (YoY) growth, attributed primarily to the low base effect caused by the hurdles faced in the previous year, said AHL Research. These challenges included restrictions on opening letters of credit (LCs) and low demand, which led to plant shutdowns across the industry. On a month on month (MoM) basis, sales grew by a mere 1%.
