Does importing cars lead to lower prices? / Multi-million queues for the car lottery despite the decrease in purchasing power
Online Economy – Parham Karimi; In a situation where the car market is facing a severe recession and car lotteries continue despite the promise of the Minister of Silence, the question is, how long will the market continue this unstable and severe recession?
Morteza Shojaei, an expert in the automobile industry, told Ekhtaz Online reporter about the current state of the automobile market and its future: Going back to 1996, domestic production reached about 1.5 million vehicles and the market is in a balanced state. With the sharp drop in people’s purchasing power in these few years, the demand has dropped sharply and the supply of companies has also reached below one million devices. So, at the same time as the production decline, we are also witnessing a decline in demand, which could have continued with the simultaneous decline in production and demand, the equilibrium state of the market that we witnessed in 2016. He also admitted that the recession in the market is not a new phenomenon and during the last three years, the market has faced inflationary stagnation most of the time.
But the question is, if people’s purchasing power has decreased and this has caused the car market to stagnate, what factor causes multi-million queues in car lotteries?
According to this automotive industry expert, the huge price difference between the factory and the market has caused this strange demand of several million people, and this demand of several million people is not only unreasonable, but also shows a false demand in these lotteries, which even with the application Filters placed for registrants We still see such a high demand in sweepstakes.
According to him, the drop in demand was more than the drop in production and we could control the free market. But with the supply of cars from the lottery and this huge price difference between the factory price and the market, it has created such a heavy demand even despite the decrease in people’s purchasing power.
Regarding the possibility of improving the market situation after the increase in supply along with the liberalization of car imports, he said: If we do not go towards solving the lottery problem with this heavy demand, the car market will always witness turbulence and this disregard of the market to the events and developments of the lottery. The draw will continue. Now, if the car import market is released in such a situation and without correcting the process, it will only temporarily improve the market situation a little.
This automotive industry expert says that not only imports, but any other supply through automotive systems cannot affect the automotive market, which has fundamental problems.
