KIEV, Feb. 6 – Prices of imported cars increased over the past five weeks in proportion to the devaluation of the local currency, the hryvnia, against the US dollar, an industry analyst said Thursday.

"If we analyze changes in prices we see that in early January many importers have increased prices by 3% on average,” AIS Group Marketing Director Serhiy Borovik told Interfax-Ukraine. “Another increase of 3-5% was registered last week.”
