Chairman of the Automobile Manufacturers Committee, Alexey Kalitsev comments:
“Last year ended with a negative result. The significant decline in the market reflects the difficult situation in the industry, which is experiencing both external pressure in the form of sanctions restrictions and changes in internal regulation. Obviously, the new VAT rates that have come into force, the next increase in the recycling fee, and the Central Bank's key rate that remains high will continue to affect the automotive market, and in the next trimester we are likely to see a negative trend in sales"
