In September 2012 as compared with September 2011 investments in fixed assets contracted by 1.3% and workload in construction – by 5.6%. In September 2012 for the first time in the post-crisis period growth rates in machine-building were observed to be below the average for manufacturing production and for the industry as a whole. Economic growth rates slowing down, acceleration of growth rates of the real incomes of the population by 3.8% and of the real wages – by 6.6% versus September 2011 contributes to the trend of the production costs increase due to the growth of labor remuneration costs and leads to the worsening of enterprises’ operation results.
