Despite the YoY growth, the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) report highlighted a 36% decline in month-over-month sales. The economy’s current state and rising automobile prices have made it challenging for consumers to purchase their desired vehicles, leading to underperformance in the market compared to the previous month.
