Jakarta (VNA) – Indonesia sold 1.03 million cars in 2019, a drop of 10.8 percent year on year from 1.15 million units the previous year, due to the weak demand and other factors, according to the car manufacturer association (Gaikindo). In December only, 86,582 cars were sold, lower than the 90,798 units sold in November and 87,846 vehicles in the same period of 2018. The market leader was still Toyota, with the sale of 333,222 units, followed by Daihatsu 177,284 units, and Mitsubishi 161,765 units. Earlier, Gaikindo had predicted the car sales would not be achieved because of low demand, tight competition, and influx of new players and variants from abroad, such as Wuling, Mitsubishi Xpander, and Nissan.

The pressure piled on foreign exchange rate, if any, comes principally from the weakening of the Chinese yuan as well as other currencies of emerging economies, and may enfeeble the competitiveness of Vietnam’s exports. However, the risk of being included in the U.S. lists of “currency manipulators” is substantial enough to prompt the central bank to take extreme caution when depreciating the dong. The domestic currency is forecast to lose at most 2% of its value this year. … [Read more...] about Not too many macro fluctuations expected for 2020
