The decline from the previous year reflected primarily unfavorable exchange costs associâ€" ated with the decline in the Canadian dollar, higher product and product program costs and higher marketing costs. Company president and chief executive officer, James O‘Connor, said "1992 was a difficult year with continuing high unemployment, low consumer confidence and a decline in the car industry for the seventh straight year." "Many of the problems that affected the company in 1992 are continuing into 1993 including weak economies, intense competiâ€" tion, and excess industry capacity," said O‘Connor. "However, the company‘s costâ€"reduction efforts and recent product introductions, coupled with gradual economic recovery, provide the basis for improved operating results for 1993." O‘Connor said the company began a $2â€"billion investment proâ€" gram last year, the largest in the Ford‘s history, that will see the introduction of a new minivan in Oakville early next year.
