a new generation of vehicles has started just outside st petersburg artie's medical circles. this is one of your what you are nor also and it's been many truckers through more one is the hatchback and the other one a coupe now these cars were first introduced back in january and there were an instance where the company got over one hundred thousand advanced orders and if you're wondering about the price tag this car was there to back about fifteen thousand dollars this will provide a much needed boost for the russian car industry at the moment car ownership amounts to two hundred forty cars per thousand adults in russia and that's compared to about eight hundred in america but as the economy recovers the market is growing steadily the boston consulting group says the russian car market could become the world's sixth largest by twenty twenty selling about four million cars a year this will come on the back of four important ships or

a nice asian am more local production if these you know will be a hybrid cars proved to be a success and they will definitely help russia revive its auto industry and as the country's first hybrid it will be a step forward during our course servant business our team. the. same with cars the joint venture between ford and the russian carmaker solo's is being given a turbo boost they've secured a two point seven billion dollar loan from the bank almost half of that money will be aversive directly into production assets and some companies agree the deal in february and production will start next year as hopes explains. main goal of the joint venture is to double its market see here in russia of the next five years that's a lot of the man you. are looking at the price is. likely to be just the right price to take advantage of this exploding money bomb for russia many thanks

priscilla's the benefits of being resupplied actual meaning not only in your keeping that response right here in russia we've put an assumption out there that by the middle of the decade the russian industry will be about four million plus which incidentally makes it the largest industry in europe and we think that we've got an opportunity to utilize the capacity and we will have capacity up to three hundred fifty thousand by two thousand and twelve the big book use two new cars to the russian market fully explore and transit their most popular models in the u.s. and european markets eventually also produce a brand new model to be placid dan rather be class will be a compact car and its main aim is to compete with making hollow and other small accounts here in russia that you have to right from two thousand and fourteen before that one comes off the production line. so you look at the markets we start

with commodities and while it is growing at the moment pretty hefty gains there one dollar seventy cents for light sweet and brant is over one hundred eighteen dollars per barrel this is as opec has decided to leave production quotas as it is. with respect. to stock markets and in the u.s. they are mixed right now the dow managed to gain point one percent this hour nasdaq still lower this is a guy best of the show still shaking off the fed chairman ben bernanke he's downbeat comments on the u.s. economy mcdonald's is down after reporting weak sales of. stock markets ended wednesday's session deep in the red for footsie is that one for. back point six percent they were tracking losses from asia and the united states still after those comments from fed chairman ben bernanke. and in russia the markets managed to reverse from the red where they were trading most of the day and then wednesday session slightly positive continued gains from choose that this was on the back of

higher commodities look at individual share movements and ross near physique and see that one of the top gainers one point six percent are still on speculation that it's buying a might maybe by mistake from b.p. into k. b.p. gas brought also high of a banking stocks will weaker would be to point three percent. emerging markets in particular russia as are performing developed markets and i think what we have howard over the last couple of days has been very poor actually last week as well has been portrayed out of developed markets for us and particularly and today we have german industry production coming in below expectations i think the european markets and the u.s. we're going to be taking a toll from that and people are again moving back into emerging markets slowly but it's no not convincing it is not a strong conviction out there but among investors can see russia's efforts to cope with its headline inflation are yielding fruit at least the world bank has lowered its forecast for consumer price growth in the country now sees inflation at about

eight percent this year better albo world bank country director for russia explains what's made them more positive about russia. central bank has taken a series of measures both on reducing liquidity and also increasing interest rates and the m. to the money to the money supply growth is coming down to rates which are comes more consistent with nominal income growth i think the other side of it of course is russia's grain and other food production this year as it's expected to be more favorable so that will also help bring out inflation but more generally i think our prospects for russia are positive because i think the efforts of the authorities that you are trying to do in the business climate increasing competition these are important areas which i think role will also improve russia's performance on the supply side and also reduce inflation that way. that's all from the business desk for now kevin's up next with the headlines to stay with us but.
