MOSCOW, 31 Jan — RIA Novosti. the Russian Ministry of Finance proposes to devalue the ruble by about ten percent, writes “Kommersant” with reference to data published by Reuters.

the Agency has made calculations on the main parameters of the budget, including the proposed adoption of a budgetary rule. It suggests that if oil and gas revenues will be higher than the calculated when the average oil price of $ 40 per barrel, the “surplus” will go to the Reserve Fund and national welfare Fund. The Ministry of Finance suggests that the transfer of additional income to reserves will not only create a “safety cushion”, but will prevent excessive strengthening of the ruble.

According to new calculations of the Ministry of Finance, when the cost of oil average annual exchange rate should be 69,42 rubles per dollar, and the Federal budget deficit 3.1% of GDP. The same expenditure of reserve funds will reach 1.8 trillion rubles.

Under the current oil price of 55 dollars per barrel, the budget deficit without the use of fiscal rules is one and a half percent of GDP, and the spending of reserve funds to 464 billion rubles. If it acts the declared mode of constant purchase of reserves in Treasury bills, a deficit of 0.7 percent of GDP in the reserve Fund will be invested 241 billion rubles, but the ruble should weaken by about ten percent, and the rate will be 64.9 ruble to the dollar.

the Department believes that without applications the budget rules and without the devaluation of the ruble, the budget is balanced only when the price of oil $ 76 per barrel. However, if the weakening of the national currency will be managed, zero deficit can be achieved at a price of about 61 USD.

the Ministry of Finance plans to submit a new budget rule to the state Duma this year. It is assumed that it will work in 2020.

“trump is a much greater risk for Toyota than for Volkswagen as the German manufacturer less represented in the US market. Toyota has invested in the construction of a new plant in Mexico and its ability to convince trump limited,” says the analyst of the company Carnorama in Tokyo Ken Miyao.

Toyota lost to the Volkswagen and ceased to be a leader in the world market – Газета.Ru

the world’s Leading automakers, Volkswagen and Toyota reported the results of their work in 2016. According to the German Volkswagen group, which in particular includes the brands Audi, Porsche, Skoda, Seat and Bentley, the group’s global sales reached 10.3 million new cars. Meanwhile, the Japanese Toyota group, including, in particular, divisions of Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino, though, increased its sales by 0.2 percentage points, could not beat the competitor with 10.2 million of sold cars.

These figures indicate that the VW for the first time in the last four years surpassed Toyota in global sales volume.

Note that Toyota holds the title of the leader of the world market by the end of eight of the last nine years after took first place at GM in 2008. The only exception was the year 2011 – then Toyota has not been able to quickly restore the production of machines after a serious earthquake and tsunami, which affected the factory of the brand in Japan. This is GM remained a constant leader in the global market for 77 consecutive years until 2008.

However, a final outcome in the dispute over global leadership in the automotive industry, the Statute known only next week, when the results fail, the American auto giant General Motors.

according to Financial Times, Toyota is currently experiencing problems in the US, where it undergoes pressure from President Donald trump. The American President criticized the Japanese manufacturers, especially Toyota for their investment in the development of production in Mexico. Manual Toyota responded with a promise to invest about $ 10 billion in strengthening its activities in the United States and to provide 400 additional jobs at its plant in Indiana. One of the obvious reasons for the slowdown in Toyota sales is the transition of the saturated American market from sedans, where the Japanese automaker is the leader, to vans and SUVs. In Japan, Toyota sales rose for the first time in four years, but the growth in the domestic market is fully offset by the decline in demand for Toyota not only in USA but also in Africa and the middle East. Interest in cars Daihatsu fell in Japan and abroad.

as for VW, it attempts to overtake Toyota in the world arena, like the reputation of the brand as a whole, was threatened after September 2015 broke out the famous scandal, dubbed “deselect”. Then it turned out that the serial Volkswagen cars (about 11 million units worldwide) installed the software to hide the real amount of harmful emissions from diesel engines.

But in 2016, the German company is surely made in China, where sales soared by 12% to almost 4 million units.

Earlier, the management of VW has repeatedly stated that it intends to completely clean the brand from the effects of the global scandal and to make the brand more environmentally friendly. So, at the international motor show in Paris in 2016 representatives of the brand said that Volkswagen intends to become more independent from the group and compete with the Tesla models in the future.

in 2020, the brand is preparing completely new family of electric vehicles and is not interested in hybrids. By 2025, the Germans want to sell more than 1 million electric cars worldwide.

plans to sell a fully electric e-Golf is able to cover over 300 km on one charge, other models. Confirmation of the goals was the concept car Volkswagen I. D. It will appear on the market in 2020, and by 2025 the company’s promise to release a version with a fully automated control mode, the I. D. Pilot. “I. D. is positioned as a compact electric car, demonstrating Volkswagen aims to expand the model range in parallel with the bestsellers of Polo, Golf, Tiguan and Passat. I. D. will be equipped with electric motor power of 125 KW (170 HP), he will be able to travel up to 600 km without recharging, while its price should be available.

China and the United States decide all

According to analysts, the key markets for global automakers in 2017 will remain the US and China. Order VW was able to hold the advantage over Toyota, in these countries the brand will have to make the greatest efforts. Meanwhile, sales in the U.S. will reach its peak. Toyota already say that in 2017, their sales will remain at 10.2 million – as the company continues to focus on stable profit and has no plans of rapid expansion into new markets.

“the Question is how Toyota will be able to sustain sales in China amid falling General rate of sales in this country and how the brand will support the demand in the US where the market came to its maximum,” said Credit Suisse analyst Masahiro Akita.

meanwhile, VW is also preparing for a number of difficulties in China. The slowing of sales in this market is expected after the jump in the demand for small cars in 2016 to promote their sales was launched a special program of state support. And even after the Chinese government announced the extension of benefits into 2017, analysts are sure that VW, like other manufacturers, is unlikely to repeat the results.

Note that in Russia at year-end grade of VW (excluding members of Volkswagen Group Rus brands) took sixth place with a score of 74 221 sold vehicles (-5% compared to the results of 2016). The most popular model of the brand became the VW Polo.

In turn, the analyst of “ALOR Broker” Kirill Yakovenko believes that in the future, VW has a good chance to get permanent status as world automotive market.

“Toyota in 2016, continued to rely on the U.S. market, says Yakovenko “Газете.Ru”. — Enough cheap oil and high pace of economic recovery over the past two years formed the background to what the Americans had to start to change back to comfortable sedans, SUVs and pickups. At the same time, VW has focused on Europe and Asia, and not in the premium and budget segment. The American market for VW and has not become a priority. If the new U.S. President will keep his word and introduce protective duties of 30% on imported cars, the rate for the EU and Asia for the VW will be right.”

Head of retail sales UK “SOLID Management” Sergey Zvenigorodsky sure that while talking about clear leadership not VW: the German group and Toyota are about the same technological level, use a similar logistics and pricing. “The importance of disilicate was overrated, but the run production electromobile is now a fashionable subject in which investors are willing to invest large sums of money, says Zvenigorodsky “Газете.Ru”. — Whether it will be successful — hard to say. The demand from Chinese market is also not very reliable: there now, too, is the hype and financial markets, and in the sphere of consumption, but demand is already starting to fade”.

the Plant, which produces engines for carrier rockets “proton”, will be transferred under management of “Energomash”. Earlier it became known about the withdrawal of all engines of the second and third stage of “proton-M” from-for poor quality

Voronezh mechanical plant (VMZ), collecting engines for carrier rockets of the “Soyuz” and “proton” will pass under the control of the scientific-production Association “Energomash”. About it reports “Kommersant” with reference to several top-managers of enterprises of space industry.

According to interlocutors of the edition, such decision was accepted during a meeting under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, in order to bring the company, put the brakes on starting the program “Proton” from the crisis. Currently VMZ is a subsidiary of the State space scientific production center Khrunichev.

“In the framework of the formation of the integrated structures of the rocket engine, and also to implement strategies to improve the quality of manufactured products “Roscosmos” made the decision to move VMZ under our management” — confirmed the General Director of “Energomash” Igor Arbuzov. He also noted that the “road map” of reforms has been developed.

About the problems with the engines of the second and third stage of “Proton” was announced on January 25. “Kommersant” reported that because of the technological problems found on the results of fire tests, it was decided to recall all engines of the second and third stages of the rockets produced at VMZ in 2015. As noted by the publication, the opinion of a dozen engines could impact on the conduct of launches of carrier rockets from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

then in the “Roskosmos” reported that the industry is total quality control of products and therefore a possible delay of launches of “Proton”.

Soon, the state Corporation said that the engines for the second stages of “Proton” was going on VMZ violation of the design documentation. They used do not meet the technical requirements of the solder. As noted by “Kommersant”, the situation is interested in the FSB and the Investigative Committee, where we try to understand how was the replacement of material, if the documents are all the engines in order.

on Saturday, January 28, VSW, held an emergency meeting under the guidance Rogozin and General Director of Roscosmos Igor Komarov.

the Central Bank offered to change the approach to payments, writes “Kommersant”, the goal is to combat hackers. Bankers officially the initiative of the regulator does not comment, as they refer to it negatively, seeing new risks

according to “Kommersant”, the Central Bank sent the heads of IT-departments of banks the letter in which asked to 10 February to assess in terms of what they can implement encryption of payments sent to the payment system controller, at the level of the automated banking system (ABS).

ABS Bank, says the newspaper, is a hardware and software complex, which consists of many computers United in a single protected circuit that processes the payment order and formed register of payments. Formed in the ABS registries are doing in the CBD arm (automated work place of the client of the Bank of Russia) — a special computer in the Bank in a separate protected circuit, which takes payments in the Central Bank.

the Implementation of encryption in ABS of the Bank, said in a press-service of the Central Bank, the newspaper will protect the data at an earlier stage, “difficult for attackers the conditions of attacks and reduce the level of theft”. The measure, as noted in the controller is proposed based on the analysis of the facts of thefts from commercial banks and takes into account international experience and current trends. “This was the practice in almost all major payment systems,” — said the press service of the Bank of Russia.

the Measure of the Central Bank is to introduce encryption of payments at an earlier stage. As explained by an analyst of the center for monitoring and combating cyber attacks, Solar JSOC Alexey Pavlov, banks violate the recommendations of the Central Bank relating to the complete isolation arm to the CBD from the rest of the Bank’s network and transfers data using a secure removable media. When sending rosters often used the staging folder on a file server on the corporate network of the Bank, and in this place hackers replace the file with the registries, resulting in arm CBD come fully or partially fictitious data that are encrypted and go to the Bank. The bogus payment is encrypted can not be detected, however, if you encrypt registers at once in your ABS, then replace them on the way to the arm of the CBD will be impossible.

In banks, “Kommersant” said that appreciate the time and possible cost of introducing innovations. Pavlov announced that the Bank will have to conduct a massive upgrade in the technical sense. Turnkey solutions do not meet all the requirements of the legislation on encryption, you need to connect professionals with a special license from the FSB and at least a year of implementation, noted expert on the encryption of one of the big firms. As a result, the innovation will cost the Bank several million rubles. CB is discussing with market participants the terms of implementation of encryption systems “to determine a comfortable transition period,” said the controller.

according to the newspaper, the bankers have a negative attitude to the idea of the Central Bank and officially comment on its not want. ABS — hundreds of computers that need more protection, says the head of the IT Department of the Bank from the top 100. The IT specialist from the Bank of the top 50 adds that will be lost the possibility of additional controls: now the Bank can verify the registries are uploaded to the ABS, hit the arm of the CBD and to identify a bogus, and when the encryption in ABS this would not be possible. A representative from a major Bank said that the Central Bank has already asked banks to 30 June of the current year to strengthen security measures at the site arm of the CBD that has a cost, but now changes the approach.

Cases of hacking of ABS banks, but to make it easy. As noted by Pavlov to crack the ABS need a specialist who is familiar with the system instance of a particular Bank. “Access to the ABS from the outside — this is largely a problem of the used means of protection. To attacks from outside the first barrier is just the specialized system of protection, plus the ABS has built-in mechanisms of protection”, — said the Director of operations and technology Department Absolut Bank Barbara Dobrojan.

The aggregate funds acquired Nowicki 482 thousand of the mortgage certificates, which were valued at book value of 3.27 billion rubles. It was about 10% of all assets of the funds Nowicki, whose volume at the time of the revocation of the pension of the group (in June 2016) was about 31 billion rubles. license of the pension group Yevgeny Novitsky became the biggest scandal on the pension market after the bankruptcy of the funds of the fugitive banker Anatoly Motylev. One of the foundations of NPF TPP, still continues the court proceedings, trying to challenge the revocation of the license.

In ASV consider that the market value of the acquired Fund certificates for a 40% discount to their book value. According to the Center for independent examination of property, report of which appears on the Agency’s website, the market value of the certificate is 3.8 thousand RUB compared their book prices 6.2 thousand. Thus, the real market value of ISU GK-3, which owned the group’s funds Nowicki, could be 1.3 billion rubles. lower than stated in their statements.

in addition, according to the appraiser, based on market cost of objects of collateral was significant lack of security. When the value of the principal amount of the debt at the level of RUB 24.6 billion market value of collateral estimated the total 9.87 billion. In this regard, the company, the appraiser recommended that the holders of the mortgage certificates to consider the risks associated with low value objects.

What is IMS

Mortgage certificates — registered securities non-equity paper, no-par value. Bonds can be traded on the exchange. The main goal of ISA is to identity the share of the owner in the common ownership of mortgage coverage. In addition, the certificate of participation confirms the right to receive cash for the execution of obligations requirements on which make a mortgage covering. Mortgage cover is a set of requirements on the return of the basic debt and payment of the interest that provides the mortgage. Requirements may be certified by mortgage loans or mortgage certificates of participation.

At the Moscow stock exchange is now trading 15 mortgage participation certificates. According to the Bank, the main investors in MIS are non-state pension funds. The share Fund’s investment in mortgage securities at 30 June 2016 was 4.2% of pension funds.

Market’s

estimates of ISU GK-5, is listed on the website of the DIA, at odds with the statements of the Trustee with certificates UK “Kapital the PIF”. The company got under the control of ISU in February 2016 instead of the criminal code “geo Capital”. According to managers, the size of the mortgage coverage on a single certificate GK-3 (corresponds to the book value) on 25 January 2017 was of 6.32 thousand RUB over the value of the collateral were estimated at more than 32 billion rubles (15.7 billion — “the Petrovsky passage” and 16.8 bln rubles Integral).

Partner of Colliers International Stanislav Bibik believes that the cost of “Petrovsky passage” and business center “Integral” can vary between 12-25 billion rubles and according to the agreement of the owner with tenants on lease terms and discounts, and occupancy areas.

General Director UK “Kapital the PIF” the novel of Shemendyuk not agree with the assessment of ISU GK-3 are provided on the website of the DIA. “We estimate the market value according to the methodology developed by the Central Bank. The market value is the price at which you can place the transaction for the purchase or sale of the certificates, and in this case it is just the estimated value of which does not guarantee anything”, — he said. Managing other investment companies, as well located customer funds of ISU GK-3, do not exclude, that the estimate of the value of the mortgage certificates given on the website of the DIA, could mean the minimum cost at which the Agency is ready to sell these securities at auction. “I think that with the latest stock exchange transactions buyers will be enough,” he said.

According to the Moscow exchange, the last transaction with the ISU K-3 held on 24 January, the paper was sold at a price of 7.45 thousand.

Safmar in the number of investors

Certificates of GK-3, which was released about 4 million, in addition to Nowicki funds purchased and other participants of the pension market. Two sources in management companies and in one large NPF said that a significant amount of securities repurchased, the funds that are included in the financial group Gutseriev — shishkhanova Safmar. “The rest were distributed by major pension funds,” he said, noting that among the owners of certificates there are also several individuals. According to the statements of the Fund IFRS for the first nine months of 2016, the volume of funds invested in the ISA, was 15.7 billion.

NPF Safmar not disclose information about the presence in the pension portfolio of ISU GK-3. “The share of the mortgage certificates in the portfolio of the NPF group Safmar does not exceed the proportion permitted by law. Now comes the previously planned decline in the share of MPCs in the Fund’s portfolio,” said Fund spokesman. “NPF of electric power industry” and “LUKOIL-the Guarantor” has refused comments, in NPF “the Future” did not respond to a request RBC.

the Bank of Russia are unable to answer the question: should the NPF managers to review risks on certificates of GK-3 taking into account the estimates given on the website of the DIA. DIA has not responded to a request to RBC.

Support beneficiary

the Assessment of the mortgage certificate and the value of collateral, which is provided on the website of DIA, does not mean that all urgently need to sell these papers, said General Director NPF of the top 5. According to him, investments in ISA permitted by regulations of the Central Bank, therefore formal claims from the regulator to the funds should not be. He also noted that the valuation of the mortgage certificates, GK-3 and collateral looks too conservative. “Maybe the appraiser has questions for the liquidity of paper, but in this case, the quality of the collateral ensures that the borrower is more important to pay off the loan than to lose the property,” he said.

According to General Director NPF “LUKOIL-Garant” Dennis, Rudomanenko, the assessment of risks of investment of NPF it is necessary to understand how significant the amount the Fund invested in a particular paper. “If it’s only 1-2% of the assets and the rest invested in bonds and deposits, then I would not call the investment policy of the Fund is risky,” he says. Rudomanenko noted that the funds can invest some assets in risky instruments, to provide higher income customers.

“We believe the investments in these ISA high-risk, so the rating of these securities is quite low,” said managing Director for corporate ratings RAEX Pavel Mitrofanov. In September 2015, the Agency assigned a GK-3 rating at B++ (“acceptable level of reliability”) . In comments to analysts RAEX noted the low liquidity of the borrower (Stonebell Traiding &Investments), debt payments which considerably exceeded proceeds from operating activities, as well as the high level of debt and the dependence of its business from financing by the owner.

the Agency suggested that, if necessary, the beneficiary Stonebell Traiding &Investments (Gutseriev) can support the company in servicing the debt. “From this point of view, funds have no incentive to sell these certificates, because they are important, not their liquidity, and the timely receipt of payments from the borrower, due to which they receive income by ISU”, — said Mitrofanov.
