The prices of Nissan, Hyundai, Renault, Chery, and Opel have seen an increase of up to EGP 30,000 due to the recessio0n experienced in the Egyptian market, while other companies managed to stabilise their prices in May.

Despite the sale offers made by automotive companies in February and March, car sales declined by 46.5% in the first quarter (Q1) of this year compared to Q1 of 2016.

About 26,500 cars were sold in the first three months in 2017, compared to 49,600 cars during Q1 2016, according to the Automotive Marketing Information Council (AMIC).

The report also showed a decline in demand for private cars in Q1 2017 by 41%, recording 19,700 cars, compared to 33,400 cars during the same period in 2016.

Despite the recession plaguing the market, agents decreased the prices of their models in an attempt to accelerate sales.
