Well its no way is the matter of forex!!! dont just think of today, but these cars were expensive earlier too. Now a days it seems to us more expensive becoz of money devaluation!!! but i m not taking that factor !! just convert for. eg. 1299000, into dollars almost equal to $16000. This value is much more expensive than the corolla in usa and india.
Yes its true that auto mafias heads are involved in misistries as well. They dictate their terms. Few people are not considering the fact that a Japanese Company only prefer to install a plant where the labor if cheap.
Look more than a decades ago! 30 years back japanese electornic products were there. For e.g Sony. Then they started manufacuting in Taiwan & Singapore. Later in Malaysia. Then China and so on an so far, they later started manufacuting such products in other countries, like india and pakistan. Every multinational company works like that. Japan/American made could never be of the same value as that of Indian/Paki/Chinese.
If so is the case, Pakistan cant export foreign products to other countries. Chinese Made Sony TVs are coming here, Why cant Paki Made Sony or LGs go to countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan or ... other countries. and so is the case of the cars! you cant export your product unless its cheap in the country of manufuacturing. Well the responsibility lies on mainly the poor governance and mili baghat of auto mafias.
If our government have had installed tremondous number of factories in Balochistan (with cheap labor) and in interior NWFP & Interior Sindh, our nation could have been far better than our counter parts.
No Dams yet............. whats the status of coal reserves in Sind (which could have product electricity of Pakistan for 100 years.............. Have the Zar.......dri chew those or sold them all at nominal prices to fulfill his own pockets......
No doubt!!! govt is and was always corrupt!! never did major things for the development of the country and the nation as a whole............ our bad luck.
