The Economy and Industry Ministry’s companies director told Enab Baladi that about 20 foreign firms in automotive, machinery and tire sectors had expressed interest in registering agencies or opening branches since Decision No. 154 was issued. Director Mohammad Allaq said agency registration is non-exclusive and follows existing laws and procedures; he said registration can take three working days when documents are complete. The ministry did not name the companies or report completed registrations, and Allaq said the decision could not be directly tied to a particular reduction in vehicle prices.
