105 survey - February 2001

Annotation
The dynamics of the surveyed indicators of the industrial sector testifies to enterprises’ attempts to renew the previous (noted prior to January this year) growth rates. However, the absolute decline in monetary sales noted for the second month running effectively blocks such attempts and makes the producers to expand their application of non-monetary sales schemes. The existing of uncertain estimates of finished produce in stock shows that enterprises lack a clear vision of prospects of the Russian industrial sector in the forthcoming future.
