The statement of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, about the decrease in car prices by the end of 2022 is “totally untenable”. Such an opinion in an interview with the radio station “Moscow is speaking” expression Viktor Pokhmelkin, Chairman of the Russian Bikers Movement.
According to him, there are no prerequisites for stabilizing the automobile market in Russia.
“Because it is clear that this course, which Manturov is talking about now, is artificial. And no one is going to buy and sell cars at that rate,” he said.
He noted that today the probability of buying cars from car dealerships has dropped sharply. As a result, there is a shortage in the market, and under scarcity prices never fall, they just rise. The head of the movement believes that the only reason for the price restraint is the decrease in the income of Russian buyers.
“But this decline has happened before, although not very sharply. It did not result in price cuts. Prices rose again. Therefore, the explanation is very optimistic, but I firmly believe that it is absolutely untenable,” he said.
Manturov at the beginning of July 5 declarationHe said that the situation in car prices in Russia is gradually stabilizing, and price tags will gradually decrease throughout the year.
