The car import case was closed in the Central Bank?
According to Tejarat News, Maziar Biglou, secretary of the Association of Manufacturers of Auto Parts and Assemblies of the country, while pointing out that liquidity is still the biggest and most important problem of the auto parts industry, stated: Automakers are very unable to meet the demands of auto parts manufacturers; For almost a month now, the payment situation has worsened, and it can be said that there has been almost no input from automakers for component makers, which has made things very difficult for component makers; If this trend continues, the situation will get worse over time.
The secretary of the Association of Manufacturers of Auto Parts and Assemblies continued: “The situation has become such that every month, compared to the previous month, car manufacturers face much more problems in terms of liquidity, and as a result, the situation with paying their debts to auto parts becomes worse and negative every month.”
He in connection with the common subject “Eliminate grammatical pricing” In the last case, which was requested by the head of the stock exchange organization, he also said: “We have talked for years in this regard that order pricing will be problematic not only in the automotive industry (automobile and parts manufacturing) but also in any industry and any economic activity.” Was; At least in recent years, the result of grammatical pricing has not been covered by Brexit, and in the case of cars, this has been the case for 10 years, and after this period, the result is quite clear.
The activist of the country’s auto parts industry, stating that the auto industry has been moving with this policy (mandatory pricing) for 10 years, reminded: the auto parts and auto industry in the 80’s was able to produce quality and acceptable cars, but now it has reached somewhere That neither the people are satisfied, nor the automakers as the private sector, nor the automakers themselves as the public sector. So far, once and for all, there has not been the audacity to eliminate grammatical pricing, and as a result, this process is still ongoing, but we hope that this effort and audacity will take shape and the necessary pressure will be applied and the work will be completed.
Bigelow on the subject Car import (Although unlikely, at least until the end of this year) and its impact on the parts industry, given the import of cars in exchange for parts exports, he said: In fact, from the beginning, the parts industry and even automakers have stated their position in this regard We have no objection to car imports, because there are two positive features in import liberalization; In addition to calming the car import market and giving people the option to choose domestic or foreign cars, we believe that a large number of foreign car spare parts are produced domestically or have the potential to be produced. For example, in the case of brake pads, which have been banned for years, we have seen that domestic component manufacturers also produce brake pads for all domestic cars.
The Secretary of the Parts Manufacturers Association, while pointing out that we are not very optimistic about the approval of the car import liberalization plan, noted: “Because the Central Bank and the Expediency Council each have major objections to this plan and consider it contrary to macroeconomic strategies . Also, a number of MPs have changed their views to some extent and oppose the plan; Therefore, it does not seem that it is easy to correct the objections to this plan.
This activist of the country’s parts industry, while emphasizing that, but it is clear that if imports take place, the market will be calm and will help a lot to organize the market. While the point that is not mentioned in the clauses of the decree, but in fact the purpose and philosophy of this plan has been, is to remove the monopoly in the domestic market. So the question is, with the liberalization of imports, which will practically break the monopoly in the domestic market, will regulatory pricing be eliminated or not? It is an issue that is not clear in the clauses of the decree that if the task is assigned, it seems that it can have positive effects and beyond parts and car manufacturing, it can have a positive effect for the people who are the final consumers, especially the psychological atmosphere that they do not feel. In a non-competitive closed market, they procure the product they need.
Bigelow said: “The Central Bank has also stated categorically that we can not provide the currency needed to import cars and raised the issue of exports; On the other hand, some believe that in the current situation, we are facing the problem of limited foreign exchange resources for the supply of basic goods and medicine, which are the people’s livelihood, and even if there is an export, the country’s pharmaceutical, food or strategic priorities should be addressed. car.
The Central Bank has firmly stated that we can not provide the currency needed to import cars.
In the end, he added: while imported cars in the best and most condition, cover 10% of the market; So, what is the need to put currency pressure on the country, increase the price of currency and make 90% of people have problems in their livelihood, and 10% want to use an imported car? Therefore, it will be difficult to provide foreign exchange resources in the current situation of sanctions, and the most important weakness of this plan is. So far, there is no solution that can be done without currency pressure and imposing a new currency commitment on the government, but proposals to address the drawbacks of the plan will be welcomed.
