Abstract: In October 2021, the indicators of purchase prices turned out to be the most worrying. The diffusion index of prices for purchased products increased by 6 points and reached 93% for the first time in seven years. The diffusion index of expected in three months changes of incoming prices reached 97%, which was a reiteration of the four months ago record, although previously we saw such high values mainly in 1993–1995. The indicators of employment, wages and orders decreased, but this decrease looks more like a correction after very high September values.
