89 survey - October 1999

Annotation
The growth in effective demand for industrial products began to slow down. The fall in the barter demand continues by both the industrial sector as a whole and all the industry branches, except the construction and food- processing sectors. The volume of the finished products stock continue to fall on the whole, regardless the growth in output. The estimates of the finished products stock remain negative- the enterprises with insufficient volume of the stock still prevail in the industrial sector.
