Positive dynamics of demand accompanied by high optimism in sales forecasts and a shortage of finished goods stocks allow the enterprises to maintain growth of the output and increase demand for labor. The inflation expectations of industrial enterprises continue to rise surpassing the levels of 2010 and 2015. The fact that investment plans of enterprises turned a profit and the pre-crisis credit availability restored with the rates remaining at the minimum level in April, were indications of the pandemic crisis resolution. Keywords: Russian industry, demand, inventories of finished products, inventories of inputs, output, prices, personnel Classification-JEL: L16, L60 Journal: Russian Economic Developments Year: 2021 Issue: 5 Month: May Pages: 21-23 File-URL: http://www.iep.ru/files/RePEc/gai/recdev/r2152.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:gai:recdev:r2152
