DOMESTIC SALES OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENTS SALES DECREASED 41.8% IN THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS PERIOD OF 2008.

MAIN REASONS OF THE DECREASE IN SALES ARE:

1) GOVERMENT REVISED VAT INCENTIVES ON LEASING OPERATIONS.

2) POLITICAL INSTABILITY AND CLOSING CASE OF THE AK PARTI.

3) GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS IS NEGATIVELY EFFECTING INVESTMENTS IN DOMESTIC AREA.

4) DRAMMATIC DECREASE ON BUILDING SECTOR INVESTMENTS. THE BUILDING SECTOR WAS DEVELOPED ENORMOUSLY IN THE PAST 4 YEARS PERIOD AND NOW THE DEMAND ON HOUSE IS DECREASING.
