Cause of Suzuki price hike

Shafiq Ahmed Shaikh, Spokesperson of Pak Suzuki Motor Company, is reported to have said “It is a very critical time for Pak Suzuki, its vendors and dealers, as all are disturbed due to no production and sales,”.

“This is due to the current economic uncertainties, inflation in local as well as international raw and other materials cost, the volatile situation of forex, increase in utilities and overheads. This situation has made it very difficult for Pak Suzuki to hold the current selling prices. Keeping this in view, we are compelled to pass on a very minimal portion of this adverse impact through the price increase,” Shaikh added.

Auto sector analyst Arsalan Hanif said PSMC increased car prices due to global inflationary pressure resulting in an increase in raw material prices. “This will also improve margins of the company as it has been in an operating loss due to higher demurrage charges and financial charges on delayed delivery to customers,” Hanif said.

However, Hanif added that sales will remain under pressure due to lower purchasing power, inflationary pressure and higher interest rates.

During their visit to the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad, the students were warmly received by Mr. Wang Shengjie, Political Counsellor, who delivered an inspiring speech highlighting the enduring Pakistan-China friendship. He underscored the importance of youth in strengthening bilateral ties, stating, “The youth are the custodians of the future. Programs like these are crucial in fostering people-to-people connections between our two nations.” The students were also introduced to the CPEC framework through a presentation and video by young diplomats, illustrating the initiative’s impact on regional connectivity and economic growth. On the second day, the delegation visited the China Media Group office in Islamabad, where they explored initiatives aimed at fostering media collaboration and promoting cultural understanding between Pakistan and China. This was followed by a visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where the delegation was warmly welcomed by Ms. Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
