BMW's China sales could reach last year's level in 2026, CFO says

BERLIN, March 12 (Reuters) - German premium carmaker BMW BMWG.DE hopes to hold ground in China in 2026 after a sales slump the year prior, CFO Walter Mertl said on Thursday, after the company reported annual results.

"Average sales figures over the past few months indicate that sales in China could reach last year's level," Mertl said according to a transcript of his speech after the results.

BMW reported a 12.5% decline in its China sales in 2025.
