Title: Survey of Current Business (March-June 2021)
Title: Хозяйственное обозрение (март-июнь 2021 гг.)
Abstract: In March 2021, most of the key industrial indicators surveyed by the REB looked very optimistic, for example, the diffusion indices of wages (59%) and output (53%). The diffusion order book index has not been so high since 2012 – 58%, while the similar index of finished goods stocks, on the contrary, has not been so low since 2009 – 32%. The capacity utilization rate (86%) repeated its maximum of December 2020 – a record for the entire 30-year history of observations.
Many three-month expectations look no less optimistic. The diffusion index of expected changes in wages reached a 6-year maximum (68%), and employment – a 9-year one (56%).
Keywords: Russia, industry, industrial enterprises, price level, wages, employment, output, investment, indebtedness to banks, order-book level, stocks of finished products, capacity utilization rate, financial situation, production restrictive factors
