"In the period of quarantine events in April-May 2020, the issuance of car loans was most strongly in retail lending," Alexander Vikulin, General Director of the National Bureau of Credit Stories, emphasized. - However, in the summer - at the beginning of the fall, the car loan segment was actively restored. First of all, this contributed to the removal of quarantine restrictions. Thanks to this citizens, they were able to visit the car dealerships and implement the demand defused for several months.
