俄罗斯将向出口物流注资几十亿
俄罗斯政府已经宣布，要拿出50亿卢布（约合6,260万美元），支持该国装配厂出口汽车。俄罗斯工贸部长Denis Manturov说，这笔钱将用于原始设备制造商在境外经销之前，在境内运输汽车产生的费用。基金的分配以及项目的实行，可能有俄罗斯出口中心（REC）负责。REC一位发言人证实，该中心将负责分析原始设备制造商的物理计划。国家财政预算可能不会包括过度昂贵的计划，而且钱的额数可能在未来数周内有所变化。Manturov说，“50亿卢布是工贸部的建议，是为了2016年出口车辆的运输提供补偿。但是，我们已经指示政府部门敲定额数，以便我们能决定分配基金。大体上，我们是同意这个想法，但额数抬高，这将接近50亿。”这个计划已经得到市场分析师和原始设备制造商的支持。工业部建议，这个策略将会使俄罗斯的汽车厂保持去年的生产率：大约130万辆。VTB Capital公司分析师Vladimir Bespalov说，“卢布贬值使出口从经济上更有吸引力，但是由于物流成本过高，加大海外出口变得很困难。据工贸部数据，目前俄罗斯汽车厂的平均负载率只有40%。鉴于俄罗斯市场的状态，这种情况很难改善。”GAZ公司副总裁Elena Matveeva也认为这个计划会有积极后果。她说，“这是个非常重要的措施。GAZ集团的出口量不断增长，但是运输物流成本限制着我们的发展。“我们还希望运输补贴不仅包括俄罗斯境内的运输，还包括海外的运输。比如，从俄罗斯边境到古巴的运输，是国内运输成本的10倍。而且更重要的是，这种支持应该在扩展到各种运输，包括铁路和公路。”现代、起亚和大众的代表也表达了对这个计划的支持。然而，很多原始设备制造商们称，虽然补贴的力度很大，但是不会根本上改变出口数量。一家外国原始设备制造商在俄分公司的一位匿名代表称，“社会物流的成本在下降，尤其是海洋运输部门。工贸部讨论过更广泛的出口支持，但是如果为所有物流都进行财政支持花费太高，工贸部就拒绝了这个议案，因为没有太多的资金。”物流补贴似乎比开始预期要少。2015年11月，工贸部副部长Alexandr Morozov称，出口补贴可能最高达到210亿卢布（约合3.5亿美元，这是基于11月份兑换利率）。
