România, paradisul exporturilor paralele de mașini

Several well-known car brands in Romania are boosting sales through disguised exports by their dealers. This involves purchasing from distributors, registering in Romania, and reselling in European markets as new vehicles. Exports of newly registered cars have surged by 58% this year, with Dacia leading the reexports. The phenomenon is legal but creates a parallel market that bypasses official distribution systems. Kia has seen the highest export growth at 80%, with a significant portion of their sales going abroad. This trend distorts local market statistics, indicating that the actual market size is smaller than reported.
