Listen to article
The CEO of Suzuki Motor Company Pakistan met with the coordinator to the prime minister on commerce to discuss challenges facing the local automotive industry, particularly the implications of allowing used vehicle imports for commercial use.
According to a statement, Suzuki representatives voiced concerns that opening Pakistan's market to imported used vehicles could lead to an influx of lower-quality cars. They warned that this could undermine customer welfare and damage the auto industry by allowing substandard vehicles to dominate the market.
The Ministry of Commerce officials acknowledged the concerns and assured the delegation that appropriate safeguards would be incorporated into the forthcoming Import Policy Order.
