Conclusion

It appears that the tide has begun to turn against price appreciation in the Pakistani auto sector. This change is largely attributed to the crackdown on Dollar smuggling and hoarding. However, these are primarily administrative measures and may soon reach their limits. Real economic growth is currently lacking, and as a result, the Dollar may start to rise again in the near future, causing car prices to increase. But until that happens, one should make the most of this decrease.
