Is this a decline? Is it a sales leap? Because in the table you have shown that Hyundai did have good sales.

Isn’t PAMA a cartel? If a company does not have it’s blessing it will not even have it’s sales registered. Why? Its name is Pak. Auto manufacturing and assemblers. Which ones are manufactures because last I heard they were still crying like babies because the imports got tough rules. Is the company who’s head is also the head of PAMA, a true local manufacture or do they just love to gaslight? Please be honest. Didn’t he go back crying to daddy. I.e. (as usual) brought in political muscle in the form of the Jap ambassador to sort things. Is that fair? Is PAMA’s goal what’s best for Pakistan (as it should be) or is it what’s best for these companies?

Sales dropped by 18% in April. The sales improved month over month by 2% in May. If we are comparing the two months that still means the sales are way down. 18% drop and only 2% uptick. That leaves around 16 or 17 % to go… right?
