In a sometimes heated debate, the two car connoisseurs differed on whether the sources of the problems are at home \u2014 overpricing and import restrictions \u2014 or abroad, with global inflation and supply chain issues posing problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removing restrictions on imports of used cars could offer the industry some reprieve<\/strong>, Ghanayem suggested \u2014 <strong>a view that would be hotly contested by licensed distributors<\/strong>, particularly those that have invested 100s of mns in assembly facilities. Ghanayem didn\u2019t explain how the idea would make it possible for banks to somehow find FX for importers who want to bring in used vehicles. Another short-term solution would be removing restrictions on Egyptian expats abroad to ship their cars into the country \u2014 a restriction that sends car demand surging, especially during the peak summer season when expats return home, Ghanayem said, adding that this issue could compound the current car shortage in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask a distributor and they\u2019ll tell you the problem is simple: They can get letters of credit open for imports of spare parts and tires \u2014 but cars are another story. <\/strong>L\/Cs for fully assembled vehicles (completely built up, or CBU units, in industry-speak) are just about impossible to obtain. Most are having more success with L\/Cs for assembly kits (or completely knocked-down \u2014 CKD to insiders), albeit at much lower volumes than they want. Distributors have comparatively better access to L\/Cs for spare parts and tire imports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why CKD and no CBU? <\/strong>CKD assembly lines employ thousands of people. Cars that are imported fully assembled don\u2019t support nearly as many jobs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background:<\/strong> Car sales <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/14ddd079-0875-4a96-81ca-c94fa0e38f6b\">have been falling<\/a> on a monthly basis as the automotive sector is being buffeted by a multitude of headwinds, including a lack of financing for imports, rising inflation, component shortages and the EGP devaluation in March.<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi wants the government to hurry up developing the textiles <\/strong><strong>industry<\/strong> and focus on getting <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/69f8d948-da6d-4d86-9b5d-c24ca2c989df\">the world\u2019s largest spinning and weaving factory<\/a> in Mahalla Al Kobra up and running by next year.
