The car dealership lobby is buzzing with rumours: Renault was on its heels, VW was up at least until the fall and there are no plans for 2022, Skoda is here, and the Franco-Japanese plant in Kaluga is in a vacuum, no rumor – no ghost. Just like Nissan. Dealers don’t look better: empty showrooms, watered down with “already sold” cars and “gray”, sorry – parallel, import from the Emirates. Extremely depressing landscape. However, there is news “from the other side”.
It is no longer a secret to anyone that many representatives of the automotive sector have their eyes on Kazakhstan, which is not subject to “banned”, but so far has not been eager to settle by selling imported goods to Russia. Here and mentality, and political bargaining, and unwillingness to be subject to secondary sanctions. However, there are ways to solve this mutually beneficial problem, and they promise to fix it in the fall.
Turkey and the countries of the Persian basin are also important destinations, looking at the opening opportunities for trade with Russia and poorly hiding their enthusiasm. The focus, as always, is on mutually beneficial stocks, of which wheat is the most important. The “barter deal” enacted by Iran is becoming increasingly relevant, especially with the mounting news of crop failures this summer in many countries.
India, the US and China have already officially announced the difficulties. And only Russia modestly clarified its willingness to harvest a record grain crop. That is the reason to trade profitably. Again, we are talking about autumn – then the chickens are counted.
China is separate. And this is not about relations with Russia or the fear of international obstruction: the next elections are coming in the Heavenly Realm, or rather, the regular procedures of the Communist Party, where today all the internal forces of the state apparatus are thrown. Once all the points and accents have been put in place and the members have taken their places, the issue of the supply of machinery and equipment to Russia will be resolved.
Simply put, will Xi Jinping be able to stay at the helm or will he have to negotiate with his replacement, which will be more expensive and longer. If Comrade Xi resists, a flurry of Chinese products, including auto products, will immediately go to Russia. This, as you probably guessed, will happen in the fall.
The main directions are marked, and everyone else, including the Japanese, who are officially condemning and unofficially hoping for parallel imports, are waiting for someone to tread the route and set a precedent. Then insults, misunderstandings are suddenly forgotten and at first sight friendly, financially very attractive relationships will arise.
Whether domestic car dealers will survive to this day and whether they will be needed at all by a significantly updated market, we will find out very shortly. A few more months.
