The IHS Markit Russia Manufacturing PMI increased to 47.5 in December 2019 from a 10-1/2-year low of 45.6 in the previous month. The latest reading pointed to the eighth straight month of contraction in the sector, but the smallest since August. Production and client demand fell at a softer pace while firms reduced further their workforce numbers and backlogs of work dropped sharply. At the same time, output prices rose only slightly and at the joint-slowest pace since April 2017, as firms struggled to pass on higher cost burdens amid challenging demand conditions. Meantime, input price inflation reportedly stemmed from higher raw material prices. Looking ahead, business sentiment was the second-lowest for over two years. Manufacturing PMI in Russia averaged 50.36 points from 2011 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 54.70 points in January of 2017 and a record low of 45.60 points in November of 2019. source: Markit Economics

Russia Manufacturing PMI Lowest Since May 2009
The IHS Markit Russia Manufacturing PMI dropped to 45.6 in November 2019, the lowest since May 2009, from 47.2 in the prior month. The overall contraction was driven by weaker demand conditions, with production and new orders falling at steeper rates. In addition, foreign demand dropped at a marked rate, and firms reduced further their workforce numbers. A reduction in pressure on capacity was also seen in a sharp fall in backlogs of work. At the same time, a sustained fall in purchasing activity led to inventory levels being depleted further as firms increasingly fulfilled pre-existing demand by selling from stock and utilising previously purchased raw materials. On the price front, inflationary pressures eased to historically muted rates, with weak client demand and greater efforts to discount leading to a fractional rise in output charges. Looking ahead, sentiment hit its lowest in two years.

Russia Manufacturing PMI
The IHS Markit Russia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 300 manufacturing companies.
