Statement by Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG ... - The Auto Channel (blog)
The development of markets in our major regions. Our balanced global sales and balanced global production. The new models at BMW and MINI. Our key financials for the first half of the year. A first outlook on our strategy process. Repeatedly, the Chinese experienced turbulent days on the mainland stock markets. The situation in BRIKT markets such as Russia and Brazil also remains tense. Furthermore, there are numerous economic and political uncertainties that present a risk to the global economy and also affect the automotive industry. Be assured, at the BMW Group, our actions will always be guided by a focus on the long-term. Let’s move on to the first main topic. How did the automobile markets and our company sales develop in the major world regions in the first half of 2015. First: Europe. Markets such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland even experienced strong growth in the first six months. At approximately 44 percent of all vehicles sold, Europe still remains our largest sales region. Source: www.theautochannel.com
