Оживление на рынке автокредитования стимулируется в том числе за счет снижения номинальных ставок: в июне этот показатель снизился до 11,75% годовых при покупке нового автомобиля. Это минимальное значение за пять лет. Однако полная стоимость кредита (ПСК) для клиентов обходится значительно дороже: в минувшем месяце она превысила номинальную ставку и достигла рекордного значения с начала 2019 года.
