Two legislators, Asadollah Qarekhani and Vali Maleki, have censured the government’s automotive policies, hammering the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Trade for policies that have disrupted business and created more space for an already chaotic market.
Qarekhani on several occasions has criticized the government for changing auto import rules impulsively. “The government does not have a well-defined strategy for regulating car imports or the auto industry in general. The ministry’s automotive policies simply have no justification or consideration for market demand, public safety and fuel efficiency,” he told ICANA.
