SERGEY TSUKHLO: “BUSINESS SURVEYS RECORD A SHARP RISE IN DEMAND”

Sergey Tsukhlo, Head of Business Surveys Department at the Gaidar Institute, shared with “Kommersant” the first November findings of business surveys as of November 17.

They record a sharp rise in current estimates and forecasts of demand, output, employment and even investment plans. The main reason is the absence of tough restrictions.

“By November 2020, the balance of estimates of stocks of finished products hit a 20-year low. Thus, the industry maintains due diligence amid persistent use of only "local anesthesia" by the authorities in an increasingly large-scale morbidity of the population", noted Sergey Tsukhlo, the author of the study.
