According to Tejarat News, Seyed Reza Fatemi Amin said in a press conference: According to the ministry, the import of cars is unimpeded because, first of all, there is a space in the country where we want to create a monopoly and we have unlimited support for the car industry. As soon as the car import is opened, this problem will be solved.
According to Student News Agency, secondly, the car market is not regulated and we see two prices for cars, and because the supply of cars is less than the demand, the car is a capital item. That’s why we are looking to bring supply and demand closer together.
He emphasized: On the other hand, we do not have a high-quality economic car in the product portfolio of domestic car manufacturers. That’s why we are looking to import cars.
Reza Fatemi Amin today in a press conference regarding the ambiguities created in Car import He said: 25 percent of the country’s gross domestic product is covered by the Ministry of Security, and the share of automobiles is 18 percent of this index. According to the Ministry of Security, the import of cars is unimpeded for 3 reasons, because there is an atmosphere in the country where we intend to create a monopoly and limitless support for the car industry, so this monopoly and support will be broken when the import door is opened.
According to Shahraranews, he stated that due to the imbalance of the car market, the prices in this market have become two rates, and clarified: the market price is determined according to the dollar and people buy cars to maintain the value of money and capital. The third reason was that we do not have a high-quality economic car in our domestic product portfolio. After the import route, you have to make up for the lack of economic products and then move towards domestication and solve this shortcoming.
Minister of Silence by saying that the regulations Car import It was set based on these 3 criteria, he said: Considering the 4-year ban on car imports, setting the import regulations was very sensitive and had to be done carefully. In the regulations, the necessity of transferring technology and providing after-sales services is emphasized, but do these two clauses lead to restrictions on imports? The answer is negative.
Fatemi-Amin continued: On the other hand, when we point to the imbalance of supply and demand in the market, then the imported car may have an unfair profit and cost for the importer; For example, if a car worth 400 million tomans is sold for 600 million tomans, it is rent. If the market was smooth, these things would not have happened, but we are suddenly going to open the dam and if it is not smart, there will be a flood.
The Ministry of Security has not negotiated with any car manufacturer for import
Minister Samet clarified: We said that foreign cars will be offered in the commodity exchange, it will help transparency. So, by putting it on the stock market, we can be sure at what price the car will be sold. It is possible that the cars that were offered in the stock market were lower than the market price. If it is sold in the stock exchange above the price, the extra money will enter the treasury; Therefore, the trading profit is determined dynamically in order to act correctly in this policy.
Fatemi Amin clarified: Regulations Car import It has eliminated unconventional and unreasonable interests and rent, and it is in the interest of the whole country. The Ministry of Security has not negotiated with any car manufacturer for importation, because we are not importers and only determine technical criteria and standards.
He said about the suspension of the supply of cars to the Commodity Exchange, which was carried out in the spring by the order of the Ministry of Security: “We have contributed a lot to the strengthening of the Commodity Exchange in the last 6 months, glass, steel, etc. are offered in the Commodity Exchange. We are not against transparency. The supply that was supposed to be done in the commodity exchange in spring was without coordination with us, and that is why we opposed the supply. We are not against transparency in any way.
Regarding the transfer of shares of automobile manufacturers, Minister Samet stated: Considering that the pricing has been completed and the investment call presented, Iran Khodro and Saipa subsidiary companies will be transferred in the first stage.
Regarding the number of imported cars, Fatemi Amin said: It is planned to import 1 billion euros of foreign cars, which may be partially done with cryptocurrency. But part of it will be in the form of investment. Actually, instead of bringing dollars and euros, the investor should import cars and not take out the currency, but should invest inside.
