Commenting on the Russia Manufacturing PMI survey data, Samuel Agass, Economist at Markit, which compiles the survey, said:
“August’s headline PMI posted above the 50.0 nochange mark for only the second time since the start of 2016, after modest growth was recorded in both new orders and output. The rise in new business will come as welcome news to Russian manufacturers after experiencing stuttering demand conditions throughout 2016.
Firms will now be hopeful that a steady sequence of expanding new business can be maintained throughout the coming months. “However, with goods producers lowering both their headcounts and inventory levels, along with further declines in backlogged work occurring, future production growth may struggle to gain traction unless improvements in these areas can be made.
Until that happens, the story of the sector’s inconsistent performance looks likely to continue.
