Sensational, to Belarusian standards, news of a possible early production of Chinese car somewhere near Minsk, gave food to the hungry information diet seated on the local “analysts” and “experts”. Variety of opinions was small-all agree to think that China will soon Russian cheap capsules death first Byelorussia and Russia. Timid objections of individual trezvomyslâŝih economists, that the Assembly may not be cost-effective in Belarus, no were comforted by the Belarusian motorists pribityh devaluation and high tariffs. Here’s why-you are sure that such crap as profit, Chinese does not care about-their main markets to capture “. However, it is a “seizure”, apart from the established local bazaars and shop flea markets at, hitch.
Contrary to popular belief, Belarus is not a widely raspahnutymi the gate to the penetration of Chinese goods into the Customs Union. For such “entry” to produce the goods on the territory of the Republic. But this is tight. Despite all the assurances given by the Belarusian leadership for “supervygodnyh” the Chinese failed to establish any significant production. Failed so far and to participate in the privatization of those not many Belarusian enterprises, which it was decided to sell. Some famous pribrelo joint venture “Mideâ horizon”, which produces household appliances in the form of microwave ovens. Primarily through the annual “Dožinkam”, where the workers village of massively received the gift of this product as thanks for shock value.
The desire of Chinese produce anything in the territory of Belarus clearly exaggerated local propaganda designed to convince the population that is about it poured rain of gold investment in the form of crispy banknotes of foreign production. The past year, as the previous ones, was full of self-congratulatory and rosy plans with Chinese investment in the Belarusian economy.
In that same invested Chinese in the territory of Belarus for many years, “mutually beneficial” relationship? Apart from following the official advocates export customer credit, Eximbank of China under the Government of Belarus for investment, in that. Investments, whatever you might say, investing money for profit, and with “obtaining” in big trouble. The main obstacle is the Chinese themselves complex and unstable Belarusian legislation in which the conditions of employment of enterprises vary unpredictably with a frightening frequent. No less of a problem are some features and functioning of the economy, where decisions are officials that a foreign word “invest” translated as “money”.
These two factors was sufficient to bury any “productive” projects. Including automotive.
Belarus has become a tradition to start the year with Chinese automakers announced ambitious plans and industrialists on the Organization of the Belarusian State build a brand. The same traditionally neglected plans and are forgotten. From a succession of Chinese friends with offers of cooperation from officials from the Belarusian Government even happened easy confusion with the names. First, it was announced that the joint venture will create by Lifan, and when prismotrelis′-proved that with Geely. Yes, and so it is important, Lifan or Geely? Does anybody remember Chery, which last year was going to do something on the Truck? Although some progress has-Geely reached the stage of signing of the agreement. This is the result of negotiations that had lasted almost a year.
Entry to Belarus for Geely has been motivated by the need to take decisive action to preserve the presence on the Russian market. 2010-the year was marked by declining sales in Russia four times-7019 until 1731, that was a consequence of recycling programme aimed at maintaining domestic automakers. The plans of Assembly production in Russia, announced early last year, the Geely only wishes. As designed, in December 2010, the Government of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION has tightened conditions for car Assembly, and a signatory of the letter of intent to the Decree of the Government of Geely does not appear. And by the end of last year revealed that the company does and own production commitments-total sales growth has been far below the planned rate in units of 460000 will not be achieved. This can be followed by orgvyvody with respect to management. Why was the result as nothing significant agreement dolženstvuûŝij symbolize efforts to remedy the situation.
However, the fear of the Chinese automotive expansion from Belarus. As practice shows, any agreement observed in ashes, when there is a legitimate question about the risks and profits. And there is only one version, voiced by the President: “production and sales of your problems.” Doesn’t sound too obodrâûŝe.
