Factors Behind the Growth
Improved economic stability, lower interest rates, and easier auto financing fueled the sales surge. Government policies supporting local manufacturing also contributed. Additionally, pent-up demand from previous years played a role. The auto sector’s recovery reflects broader economic improvements, boosting investor and consumer confidence in Pakistan’s industrial growth prospects.
