SAIC Motor Corp. said Monday that its net profit for 2020 is estimated to have fallen by 22%, as the Covid-19 pandemic weighed on car sales.

Net profit is estimated around 20.0 billion yuan ($3.09 billion) compared with CNY25.6 billion for 2019, the company said.

SAIC, China's largest car maker by sales volume, sold 5.6 million units of cars last year, down 10% from 2019.
