IMC has stated that the demand for automobiles declined significantly in Pakistan during the first half of the fiscal year 2019-2020, due to a slowdown in the economy, devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the US Dollar, and various structural reforms and policies of the Government.
Combined sales of CKD and CBU produced by IMC-Toyota during the half-year ended December 31, 2019, stood at 14,453 units. This was down by 56% over 33,087 units for the same period in the previous year.
