It is important that the share of Russian cars in the total volume of auto collateral declined to 10.2%. While during the same period last year it stood at 11.8%.

Next on the list are brands that have already left the Russian market: Toyota accounts for 9.1%, Hyundai for 8.8%, Kia for 7.3%, Ford for 6.0%, Volkswagen for 5.7%, Nissan for 5.3%, Renault for 4.1%, Chevrolet for 3.4%, and Mercedes-Benz for 3.0%.

Analysts also separately draw attention to the "nationality" of the collateral portfolio. Japanese cars are traditionally used more often than others as loan security, together accounting for more than 27% of such vehicles.

European brands make up about another quarter of the portfolio. The share of Chinese brands in collateral is showing growth and has already exceeded 5%.
