The ongoing drop in demand increased the share of excess inventory and forced the surveyed enterprises to refrain from price rising both in April and in the months to come. The enterprises saw the major obstacle to output growth not in the high interest rates on credits, but in the low demand for their products and in the uncertainty of the current economic situation.
