Nissan is Eyeing to Expand Datsun Sales in Middle East, Africa and Latin America

Nissan Motors is expecting Datsun to register at least half of the total sales at the new regions in about five years of time. Nissan registered a rise of 3.8 percent at the Tokyo market trading center with 771 yen and the benchmark Nikkei added only 1 percent with 224 average stocks in the same trading market. Ghosn also said that Stock piling is not a problem for Nissan and resulting to this the production in China is on a full throttle and also there are possibilities that the Chinese market will increase 7 to 8 percent this year. Ghosn further told about the company’s plan which is aiming to capture 10 percent of global luxury car market by the fiscal year 2016. He further stated that he is expecting that the Japanese currency yen will weaken to 80 to 85 yen against the currency dollar in recent times.
