Forecast<br />

PROTON is deeply committed towards moving beyond the local market by also building a<br />

strong presence in other parts of Asia in the new financial year, with a key focus being the<br />

company’s first-ever MPV, Exora, which is expected to stimulate as much interest in regional<br />

markets as it has locally given its competitive pricing and value-for-money proposition.<br />

Indonesia, where 60% of car consumers fall into the MPV segment, and Thailand, have<br />

been earmarked as the first two countries for the export of the Exora targeted for July<br />

2009.<br />

Moving forward, the Group will also focus on high-growth regional markets in ASEAN for<br />

the completely-built-up (CBU) market, as well as China, India and Iran for the completelyknocked-down<br />

(CKD) market. Additionally, we plan to leverage on the existing trade and<br />

cultural linkages to make further in-roads into other Middle-Eastern countries such as Egypt<br />

and Syria for the CBU market, and to penetrate into Eastern European countries.<br />
