According to the Bureau, 947,300 car loans got issued in Russia last year overall, which exceeded the figures for one year earlier (846,800 loans) by 11.9%. Also, 2019 was the year when the number of automobiles sold on credit reached the six-year high. The borrowing parties’ personal credit score averaged at 712 points.

‘State-funded programs have been supporting the national car industry quite noticeably in the last few years.
