Latest Updates
The S&P Global Russia Composite PMI rose to a 5-month high of 55.9 in August 2023 from 53.3 in the prior month, driven by sustained upturns in manufacturing and accelerated growth in service sector output. The steepest increase in new orders since June 2008 contributed to the rise in business activity. On the price front, the ongoing depreciation of the ruble caused an increase in input costs for manufacturers and service providers, resulting in the most rapid rise in operating expenses since April 2022. At the same time, firms hiked selling prices at a sharper pace. Regarding employment level, the total workforce continued to surge during the month, led by a sharper rise in service sector employment. Looking ahead, businesses' output expectations remained optimistic for the upcoming year, with both manufacturers and service providers foreseeing growth in business activity.
