Five-year Plan for the domestic automobile industry

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Andrei Dementiev believes that foreign cars, collecting on Russian territory, rightfully be called domestic machines. And the government may regulate the development of the Russian automobile industry with tariffs and preferential programs. Dementiev says that to date, the customs duties on imported cars in Russia is quite high. He also noted that throughout the world it is normal practice - all the countries on whose territory there are plants for the production of machines, have a high duty rates. "We have a fairly high fees, but they can at best be able to develop their own production" - says Dementiev. Over the past few years, Russia has adopted several amendments and issued a series of instructions, by which foreign companies became more profitable to build their capacity in this country than to bring the machine up for sale. And now the government is gradually corrects these documents to establish a full-fledged production. While the majority of foreign companies bring to Russia the main pre-compiled assemblies in Russia, but the plant remains only to collect these components. The ultimate goal of the state - fully localized production of foreign cars in our country. Preferably, the plants were close to each other so that there could attract and manufacturers of spare parts and other components, not to carry it all from abroad. Already, in the Kaluga and Leningrad regions appear factories satellites, which produce candles, electronics and other small things. While the state is not going to raise taxes on cars and trucks. It's no wonder they are so tall. But 5 years later they still will decrease. This is stipulated in Russia's commitments on joining the WTO - the state should have a level of protection is two times lower than the Europeans with respect to our country. "At a time no later than 2016, we live on the average European level, the levels of fees. Even today, such as trucks European level of protection - a 22% ", - said Andrei Dementiev. But whether it will be necessary in 2016? If raising taxes to people to buy second-hand foreign cars a decent quality, but now there is no alternatives to such a purchase. Vehicles with a hand went up, plus at the time of sale they had a decent run on Russia. A new car is great "failures" in prices: for example, for 500 thousand rubles, you can only buy a compact car with a gun, but before this money could afford to buy a 5-year-old sedan or wagon with a full electric or SUV. And for 800,000 rubles, you can only afford a top-end version of the car + class with an engine up to 2 liters. It is planned that during those 5 years, for which duty rates will remain at a high level of foreign autocompanies factories in Russia, get stronger and become economically self-sufficient. "If we really want to have developed automotive industry, we'll have some time to live like everyone else, with high duties. It is unpleasant to the consumer's perspective, but it is the necessary measures to boost production in their own ", - said Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry. Another tool for the development of the automobile industry will resume issuing car loans at subsidized government rates. Industry and Trade Ministry announced that this program in the budget for 2011 is reserved by 2,7 ??billion rubles. Terms of concessional lending has not changed: the credit will be allocated to passenger cars or light commercial vehicles worth up to 600 thousand rubles. The initial payment is 15%, state-subsidized rate - 6%, maturity - 3 years. Recall concessional lending program was first launched in Russia in spring 2009, after which it resumed in 2010. The results of the "second round" surpassed those of 2009, more than twice. In 2009, within the framework of concessional loans were granted slightly more than 71 thousand auto loan. Whereas at the end of 2010 (December 30) banks were granted 165,708 concessional loans and made 354 554 zayavkki. 9,5% of car sales in 2010 are obliged to credit at subsidized government rates.
