On June 23, the Ministry of Industry and Trade completed the issuance of utilization certificates, however, according to the certificates, sales of machines will continue for several more months..
It should be recalled that the recycling program for old cars was launched on March 8 last year. Anyone who wanted to get a discount of fifty thousand rubles when buying a new Russian-assembled car had to hand over an old car, which was at least ten years old, for scrap. During the period of the program, six hundred thousand certificates were issued, for which the government allocated thirty billion rubles. According to experts, interest in the program is not decreasing, only the focus is changing by city. If initially the leadership was occupied by St. Petersburg, Moscow, then at the moment the demand and interest in this program has grown significantly in the regions.
