The secretary
of the Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers Association on
piece-makers problems stated: "Currently, the main problem of piece-makers
is allocation of foreign currency, so that receive of exchange for each
piece-maker takes about 2 months and the long-term supply of currency means
that manufacturer can't practically import a product for production, so this
problem should be resolved as soon as possible.

this problem should be resolved as soon as possible.
Maziar Bayglu said in an interview with the cars-news
correspondent, adding that component-makers import raw materials that do not
have domestic production. Therefore, the existence of a long queue of currency
allocation does not allow the raw materials come into piece-makers, and piece-makers
and, consequently, automakers cannot produce them. This is the reason of decline
in production of cars.
He stressed that at present time the main problem of piece-makers is
the internal sanctions and internal sabotage, not the external sanctions, so
the ravages and maladministration of central bank has led to reduction in the
production of piece and, subsequently, car.
The secretary of the Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers
Association also added: "How to circumvent US and/or European sanctions
are knew by owners themselves, provided that cooperation of central bank,
economic entities and customs with the makers.
He said about price liberalization: for years, piece-makers demand
price liberalization, and since car production is competitive in the country
and there isn't enough automobile manufacturer in the country, then any entity
that is monitor of car pricing should also monitor the price of raw materials
that result in production of cars, and if
pricing of cars is supposed to be ordered, price of raw materials must
be ordered and vice versa.
He added: "Price of raw materials for piece-makers had risen
by 35% since the last three months, but at present time, price increase for domestic
raw materials including Copper, Aluminum, Brass, Petrochemicals has been so
high that one cannot comment on that. But car price has only increased by 7%,
and this is not reasonable and acceptable.
"About 70 internal piece-makers have active deal with Renault, and about 40 others are planning to work with Renault," Biglow said on piece-makers contracts with Renault. To date, a letter from Renault that it has left Iran has not received by piece-makers association, and it seems that Renault does not intend to leave Iran, but there definitely will be many problems in the process of working this company with regard to bank sanctions that take place.
