38%

of Russian industrial company leaders report that demand for their products is ‘below normal’ levels. This is the worst report since April 2010 when 40% of senior managers were unsatisfied with the level of demand for their products, as told in a new Monitoring the Business Climate study in service sector by the Centre for Business Tendency Studies at HSE ISSEK.

Against the backdrop of falling demand, companies noted growth in production volumes. This is most likely explained by the fact that manufacturers often use September to build up inventories.
