According to media reports, the Pakistani government has decided to lease the new Islamabad International Airport to international investors in the initial phase. This decision comes after facing practical difficulties in outsourcing two other international airports in Karachi and Lahore. The new Islamabad airport has been deemed a "clean" transaction compared to its counterparts, making it a favorable choice for outsourcing. The government aims to move forward with this process at the earliest possible opportunity.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has indicated the presence of interested parties in managing the operations of all three airports, as mentioned in their presentation to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar. However, there are practical challenges that need to be addressed before handing over the airports to international entities. One such challenge is the outstanding debts of the national flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which may affect the provision of free facilities to the carrier by the new airport operator. Additionally, certain sections of the airports in Karachi and Lahore are currently occupied by relevant agencies, requiring a permanent solution to enable potential investors to utilize the entire airport for commercial purposes.

Resolving these practical issues and ensuring a smooth transition will be crucial before proceeding with the outsourcing of the airports. The government has not yet initiated the advertising process for outsourcing but is actively working towards finding solutions to the concerns raised, allowing for the effective management and commercial utilization of these airports.

The gap between the US dollar prices in the open market and interbank market in Pakistan has further narrowed on Tuesday. Previously, the difference was Rs23, but now it has decreased to Rs5. The dollar reached Rs313-Rs314 in the open market on May 31, but it sharply dropped by 5.5% to Rs295-296 on June 1.

This decline was a result of the State Bank of Pakistan's decision to allow banks to purchase dollars from the interbank market for international card payments, which greatly impacted exchange companies.

Zafar Paracha, the General Secretary of the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan (ECAP), stated that on Tuesday, the dollar depreciated by Rs3 in the open market and was traded at Rs292 and Rs291 due to higher inflows and lower demand. The open market has seen an 80% reduction as banks have ceased buying from exchange companies, and the overall demand has decreased for various reasons.

While the open market shows a surplus of dollars, the grey market remains attractive for remitters and importers. Importers, who are unable to open letters of credit without access to dollars, are purchasing dollars from the grey market at a rate of Rs305 on Tuesday.

The interbank market, on the other hand, remained relatively stable with a slight improvement in the value of the rupee. The State Bank reported a closing price of Rs287.22 compared to Rs287.26 the previous day.

Public data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association showed an 80% year-on-year decline in sales of locally assembled new light vehicles, amounting to only 4,463 units in April 2023. Consequently, cumulative sales for the year dropped by 66.5%, reaching a mere 30,753 units. Scanning the headlines of news articles available online, terms such as "shutdown" and "halt" dominate the discourse on Pakistan's automotive industry.

"Starting this year, Pakistan has encountered unprecedented challenges, not only in the automotive industry but across various sectors. Many import-dependent industries and manufacturing sectors are grappling with production shutdowns and halts—a phenomenon that has become a normality.” explained Shi Qingke, the vice president of Great Wall Motors, "We have also encountered car parts shortages, similar to most of other automotive companies. However, the problem has been considerably mitigated, and we have no issues with the supply chain." Shi stated with confidence.

Last year on September 1st, in an event held in Lahore, Great Wall Motors (GWM)’s first factory in Pakistan has officially commenced production, with an annual production capacity of 20,000 units. Adding to the excitement, on November17th, the GWM Haval H6 HEV made its official debut in Lahore. This news sent shockwaves through the industry as it signifies several groundbreaking achievements, notably being the "first locally assembled new energy hybrid model" in Pakistan.

"Great Wall Motors is the first brand to achieve local assembly of hybrid vehicles in Pakistan, surpassing even Japanese brands, which have been deeply rooted in Pakistan for over 30 years," Shi shared. He further stated, "Moving forward, GWM will progressively introduce plug-in hybrids and fully electric models, bringing the latest in new energy technology to Pakistan and facilitating the country's transition from traditional fuel-powered vehicles to new energy vehicles."

Since the implantation of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Pakistan, with its immense market potential and economic vitality driven by a population of 220 million, has attracted the attention of numerous foreign investors. With the continuous improvement of infrastructure, Chinese automotive companies have not only provided a wider range of products for Pakistani consumers but have also established assembly plants in Pakistan, ambitiously striving to become industry leaders despite the economic turbulences.

"Pakistan, the world's fifth most populous country, has a vehicle ownership rate of less than 20 per 1,000 people. In contrast, China reached a rate of 230 vehicles per 1,000 people in 2022. This demonstrates that Pakistan holds unlimited market potential," said Shi Qingke, Vice President of Great Wall Motors Group, in an interview.

“Currently we are over booking,” Mian Muhammad Ali Hameed, COO of Sazgar Engineering Works Limited, GWM's partner in Pakistan, shared his insights.

"The auto sector in Pakistan was dominated by Japanese vehicles. Unfortunately, the vehicles brought by them were outdated models." Faced with the dominance of Japanese brands in the light vehicle sector, some Pakistani local manufacturers have been seeking breakthroughs. "The world is shifting towards new energy sources, and I believe Pakistan will catch up. Our partner (GWM) has a strong presence in the new energy sector, which is why we chose to collaborate and jointly explore the new energy market."

Moreover, Hameed said that Great Wall Motors' extensive experience in developing and manufacturing right-hand-drive vehicles across various countries facilitated its entry into the Pakistani market without significant obstacles.

"By establishing the assembly plant in Pakistan, we addressed a significant employment concern for our local population, employing thousands of people. More importantly, our future efforts will center on achieving localized manufacturing of specific car parts, lowering import costs and better serving Pakistani consumers. At the same time, this will usher in a technological revolution in Pakistan's automotive manufacturing industry," Hameed explained.

Latest data revealed that the GWM Haval ranked fifth among foreign vehicle brands, with 857 units sold in first 4 months, securing a market share of 2.8% and SUV segment share of 12.5%. From January to April, though the overall market fell by 49% month on month, GWM increased by 94% month on month.

According to a media report, the Pakistan government is considering handing over its Karachi port terminals to the UAE as part of its efforts to raise funds. The country's finance minister, Ishaq Dar, chaired a meeting of the cabinet committee on inter-governmental commercial transactions to discuss this matter.

A panel will be formed to negotiate a commercial agreement between the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and the UAE government.

The panel will include additional secretaries of finance and foreign affairs, the special assistant to the Prime Minister, the chairman of KPT, and the general managers of KPT.

Last year, the UAE government expressed interest in acquiring the Karachi port terminals, which were previously under the administrative control of the Pakistan International Containers Terminals (PICT). This move is part of Pakistan's efforts to raise emergency funds under the Intergovernmental Commercial Transactions Act, a law enacted last year to facilitate the fast-track sale of state assets.
