Indonesia’s new vehicle market expanded by 61.4% year-on-year to 55,688 units in February, from depressed sales of 34,506 units a year earlier, according to industry data.
The market is recovering strongly from last year’s dip, with monthly volumes a close to record highs in the last two months. Low interest rates and looser bank lending is helping to drive demand. The broader economy too is rebounding strongly, with first-quarter GDP growth estimated at around 5% year-on-year.
