Dmitry Evdokimov, a Researcher of the Quantitative Analysis of Economic Effects Department at the Gaidar Institute, commented to Nezavisimaya gazeta on the deterioration of Russian industry, noted in the S&P Global study. The expert linked this to the high key rate and import restrictions.

"The current deterioration in the dynamics of the manufacturing sector is due to a high key rate, as well as weakening demand and continuing restrictions on equipment imports. Further developments will largely depend on budget expenditures and the Central Bank’s decisions on the rate," said Dmitry Evdokimov.
