In the Ministry of Industry, explained the desire to limit the prices of cars. According to RIA Novosti, the Russian authorities believe that it is impossible to fix limitations normatively – inexpedient.
In a conversation with the agency, the representative of the ministry said that it is correct for market participants – to search for acceptable options and negotiate the parameters. According to him, this will allow to balance the market and “give an opportunity for development and growth to the future, and not only at the moment when superfits are obtained.”
Earlier it became known that the Ministry of Industry and Commission wanted to limit the maximum margin of official autodiets during the sale of new machines. At the same time, the department emphasized that even at the same time the price would remain profitable for dealers.
The fact is that the rate of profit of automakers is 5-6 percent, and the size of the average markup to new machines from the official dealer varies from 7 to 10 percent. The representative of the ministry said that the proposal would “allow the official dealer business to have an acceptable margin.” The need to limit the markup was explained by the fact that the dealers sell cars with unnecessarily expensive additional options against the background of huge demand and lack of cars.
