The influence of the sanctions on Russia’s import of vehicles

The sanctions of the European Union and the USA against Russia influenced partially the import of the foreign cars. The leading foreign automakers, which have invested considerable cash resources into the economy of Russia, intend to continue the investments into the expansion of the manufacturing capacities, because the Russian car market is highly promising for them. The losses of the countries, which introduced restrictions for Russia, in the case of the banning on the export of the mechanical engineering products, will be more than 12 billion dollars.
