Venezuelan Cars Market in November was in freefall due to the technical default of state-owned oil enterprise. Toyota was 2nd despite the huge sales losses, while the Ford F250 shined.
Market Outlook
The oil-producing states have welcomed the outcome of the 30 November meeting to cut output for the first time since 2008, the news does not offer much hope for the South American country against a backdrop of declining oil output and little chance that prices will return to the highs reached during the commodity super cycle. The state-owned oil enterprise was declared in technical default after failing to meet bond payments in November.
