10,803 vehicles in 2023.
Abu Naser highlighted the notable changes occurring in the
local market's demand for cars. The latest figures indicate a 13 percent
decrease in the clearance volume of gasoline-powered cars and a 27.7 percent
decrease in the clearance volume of diesel cars.
Revival of car re-exports
Furthermore, Abu Naser stated that there has been a slight
increase in the re-export of cars, marking a growth of 10.9 percent.
He emphasized that the new law regulating the investment
environment has contributed to the revival of car re-exports, owing to the tax
exemptions granted to free zones.
