The buses were the only category that remained the same since both in January of this year and in the previous year only 2 were sold.
An annual growth of 6.42%
The annual report presented by the Acau on the sale of 0km vehicles, which include cars, SUVs and utility trucks, minibuses, buses and trucks, was 55,056. In 2021, the total sale of vehicles was 51,737, which meant a growth of 6.42% for 2022, mainly in cars, SUVs and utility trucks, as well as buses, but there was a drop in the sale of minibuses and trucks.
The growth in car sales was due to three factors. The first is the drop in the dollar, which in the year totaled 10.35%. The second was due to the country’s economy, which saw a 5% rise in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and finally, consumer confidence in the economy that allows them to invest in durable and high-cost goods.
