The National Institute of Statistics reported that turnover in the motor vehicle and motorcycle trade fell by 2.4% in the first seven months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, according to data published by AGERPRES. The decline was driven by drops in maintenance and repair services and trade in motorcycles. In July 2026, total turnover fell 2.8% compared to the previous month.
