97 survey - June 2000

Annotation
In June the situation in the Russian industry maintained signs of a forthcoming decline. The minimal growth in effective demand in combination with the more intensive contraction in barter has led to the discontinuation of the growth in aggregate demand. However, the rate of growth in output grew slightly, and enterprises’ projections remain fairly optimistic. Nevertheless, the estimates of finished produce in stock testify to the ongoing problems with sales of that.
