Late in 2017, the Pakistani Rupee was steady at Rs. 104 against the US dollar in the open market but over the last 18 months, the Rupee has plunged to a record low of Rs. 160 against one US dollar.

The substantial depreciation of the Pak Rupee has led to multiple price increases in the case of vehicles as their prices in Pakistan have been changed 5-8 times by multiple automakers during this timeframe.

This, along with added duties and taxes in the latest financial budget, has pushed the prices of cars to an impractical region, badly damaging the sales of cars in the country. The sector showed a slowdown in sales which fell by 8% to 237,950 units in the fiscal year 2019. This is also the first time after 6 years that vehicles sales in Pakistan fell.
