In Russia - their problems. In the largest dealers of cellular phones have problems with the sale of cell phones on credit. The reason - banks tightening procedures for issuing consumer credit people in connection with the crisis. The decline in credit sales technique was observed in September. It tells Eugene Chichvarkin, chairman of the board of directors «Euroset», «sales fall at all, it is sufficient to severely tightened scoring (system for assessing the credit quality of the borrower)». Sales on credit in «Euroset», he said, fell by about 50%. The total turnover in Russia's largest mobile phone retailer in 2007 was $ 5.64 billion, or 13 million phones. Other companies say that the watch is also almost double the reduction of sales. Nevertheless, the majority of clients who have problems with credit, all the same gadgets bought for cash. The problem is that loans for the purchase of consumer electronics (the same cell phones) are bezzalogovymi, analysts believe. As a retail provider, and even more so in the home, which had recently been increasingly competing with the provider on its own field, the percentage of credit purchases in recent years has grown continuously. In the same general conditions of economic uncertainty, when many fear losing their jobs, borrowing has become less psychologically comfortable. In addition, the buyer will definitely relate to the selection of a more meaningful, giving preference to the budget model.
