Abstract
Russia’s manufacturing sector was stagnant in late 2018; both state-supported industries and industries that profited from a positive global trend were on the rise. Data for early 2019 show growth in most of the manufacturing industries. Barring some industries (e.g., food and chemical industries and metallurgy), this was not exactly in line with previous trends, the dynamics of fundamental factors, the downturn in the wholesale and retail trade and stagnating freight turnover and construction sectors.
