The Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to increase funding for the preferential car loan program for 2027 by 10.4 billion rubles, to 17.4 billion rubles, RIA Novosti reports. The issuance of state-backed loans, which was suspended in September due to the exhaustion of 2026 limits of 20 billion rubles, will resume on December 1 using new funds. According to experts, the pledged amount will only be enough to maintain the current level of sales, and not to stimulate the growth of the car market.
