The experts think that the precondition of this growth was the finished motor race of Mr. Putin by LADA Kalina car and his promise to increase custom duties for foreign cars. Another possible reason of boom demand is coming additional emission of “AVTOVAZ”’s shares and the expectations of some investors of the following after that offer of “Russian technologies”. The market participants could wait for either increasing of duties or offers but there is no guarantee that it will be. The officers of Ministry of industry and trade told the representatives of “Vedomosti” that the increasing of duties is not being prepared.
