Yegor Samusenko: There were no significant changes in the situation on the Ukrainian automobile market in September: 5% mom growth in new car sales was not significant compared to the 72% yoy plunge over 7M09. Domestic manufacturers continued to show a 6x yoy reduction in output. Their 41% share in new car sales also did not change much since 7M09 figures, even though automobile importers have not been burdened by the extra 13% import duty since September 7.
