Abstract: In May 2022, both diffusion price indices reached the lowest value in 1.5 years: the diffusion price index for manufactured goods was 50%, and for purchased goods – 79%. The maximum value for 2.5 years was reached by the share of enterprises that do not purchase equipment for 2 or more consecutive months (41%). And the diffusion index of equipment purchases within a month decreased by 13 points and in May amounted to 21%. This is its minimum value for 2 past years. At the same time, 58% of the survey participants expect an increase in output in 3 months, which significantly (by 13 points) raised the value of the corresponding diffusion index, which reached its annual maximum (65%).
