A rather controversial step was taken by Kazakhstan, which decided to ban Russian consumers from buying local cars. In any case, the unspoken policy of local authorities prohibited
Thanks to the influx of Russians to neighboring Kazakhstan, the local car market remained practically bare – our compatriots got everything from car dealerships. And what: it is necessary to somehow even out the deficit that has arisen in Russia (read – it’s cool to make money). Everything is fine: both customers and sellers. Both Russia and Kazakhstan. But no matter how much the thread turns, there will always be an end. Here he is in fact.
Local authorities decided not to risk falling under the stranglehold of US sanctions by shipping various goods to the Russian market, including cars and even Coca-Cola. However, without the latter, we will certainly live. Yes, and without cars in general, too. But in itself, the “tightening of the screws” with trade and, in particular, in the automotive sector somehow speaks of the unwillingness to be friends with the neighboring market, which has been helping Kazakhstan for many years.
Fact: dealers were tacitly instructed not to sell cars to persons with Russian citizenship, and natives to reduce quotas to buy one car per year! To turn off the activated dealers. Such measures may be a temporary phenomenon, but as we know, there is nothing permanent but temporary.
It is simply not profitable for Kazakhstan to trade with Russia, so as not to fall victim to secondary sanctions, as the head of the local foreign ministry, Mukhtar Tleuberdi, recently stated. Especially when our (more precisely, foreign productions organized in our country) begin to move to Kazakhstan, which allows Kazakhs to earn much more than before.
For example, Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development Kairbek Uskenbaev said that the possibility of transferring the Russian Toyota plant to Kazakhstan is currently being discussed and the matter is being resolved in principle without the cooperation of the authorities of both states. Reportedly, the dialogue is conducted exclusively at the level of business people. True, it seems to us that the authorities are still involved, but only the Kazakh.
We move on: the St. Petersburg company Hyundai, according to insider information received by Vedomosti, quietly sounds car bodies and sends them – where would you think? — in Almaty. To the Hyundai Trans Kazakhstan local site. Let’s say more: President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev personally came to Kostanay, where the CKD production line for Kia cars was launched. According to information obtained by Svobodnaya Pressa, it is here that equipment is most likely towed from the St. Petersburg workshops, which worked under the Korean flag.
The Koreans probably hoped not only to conquer the small Kazakh market, but also to resume sales on the Russian market. By re-exporting their cars. Cunning? Yes. But apparently they won’t be able to untie their hands. Local dealers openly say that there are no more cars for Russians. Yes, and the natives, as already mentioned, will not be able to buy more than one “cart” per year.
It seems the country is about to tighten up its requirements for mandatory vehicle registration to beat out the myriad of freshly minted middlemen. And at the same time, they will certainly impose liability for violation of these requirements. Curtain! Yes .., such are the market relations between our neighbors, smacking of venality instead of sale.
