The increased recycling fee in Russia will not be forever. The head of state Vladimir Putin stated this at a joint direct line and press conference in Gostiny Dvor.
The President stated that the increase in the recycling fee is an attempt by the Ministry of Finance to obtain additional income for a “noble goal” — technological development.
We are talking about expensive cars with a capacity of 160 hp and affects citizens with average incomes in large cities.
The President added that the new recycling fee rates only indirectly help the domestic auto industry.
According to him, in the context of rising car prices, choosing a domestic option becomes more reasonable and stressed that he considers it appropriate to give preference to products of the Russian auto industry.
