The recently fashionable idea of ​​parallel imports turned out to be practically useless in relation to cars. The AvtoVzglyad portal came to such a conclusion based on the statement of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov at the Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

— How can the price be lowered while both global and domestic inflation persist? At least because of the level of industrial inflation, prices will always move forward. The question is how much, – this is how Manturov assessed the prospects for lowering prices for cars of brands imported into Russia, recently included in the list approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade for parallel imports by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The updated list from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce includes brands such as Renault, Ford, Kia, Mazda, Hyundai, Genesis, Dacia, Citroën, Opel, Peugeot, Isuzu and Hino. Any vehicle of these brands could be brought and sold in Russia without any problems and until the latest “update” of the list of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The mention of the brand in this document, it turns out, does not affect the availability of goods or their price. In this context, it becomes completely incomprehensible: why is the Ministry of Industry and Commerce interfering with this own “parallel import list”? Is it really just for the sake of generating informational opportunities designed to demonstrate the ministry’s vigorous activity on behalf of the indigenous economy?

– I do not think that parallel imports will have a significant influence on price fluctuations. Today, our prices in the car market have more or less stabilized, ”RIA Novosti quotes another saying of Manturov on this topic.

As they say, comments are superfluous …

In addition, Manturov confirmed to journalists the information that Toyota could transfer its Russian plant in St. Petersburg to the FSUE NAMI subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade. It is possible that we are talking about an arrangement that has already been used in the transfer of control of the Russian assets of Renault and Nissan, which have left the Russian Federation. Recall that NAMI then bought them at a price of 1 ruble for ownership of each of the brands.
