Analysts from the National Bureau of Credit Histories (NBCH) reported that Russian citizens have begun to take out car loans en masse.
It is reported that the corresponding demand has increased almost twofold compared to the same period last year.
Researchers noted in a conversation with Lenta.ru : “The corresponding volume has grown and reached almost 1.4 trillion rubles.”
In particular, it is emphasized that over the year the total volume of loans issued to Russians for the purchase of vehicles increased by 713.4 billion.
Analysts noted that the indicated figure is equivalent to 106.3 percent.
Experts believe that such dynamics are observed against the backdrop of a shortage of new vehicles.
It is explained that not only the number of car loans taken out has increased, but also the number of corresponding approved applications.
According to calculations by NBKI analysts, in the first seven months, creditors provided an average of 961.7 thousand loans to interested citizens.
