According to the statistics published by the Automobile Importers Association (AIA), new cars registration activity improved during the month of April 2024 to 596 cars, compared to 335 in March, yet stood lower than the 833 reading registered in April 2023. It is worth noting, in this regard, that the high figure in April 2023 can be attributed to the closure of the Traffic Management Organization (TMO) during the second and third months of the year, compiling as such car registrations during the concerned month. On a cumulative basis, the number of car registrations stood at 1,818 YTD April, compared to 1,480 a year earlier, yet are still dwarfed by the >8K pre-crisis level registered during the first four months of 2019.
