The real sector of economy has continued to represent unstable growth. As
Credit-Rating noted earlier the recent rise in business activities in January was
prompted not much by recovery in real economy sector but by low comparative basis and low
activity in a number of companies. February saw decelerating rates of recovery of real
economy sector: the industrial production index was recorded at 108.8% (111.8% in
January). The recovery of pruduction rates was underpinned by a number of companies
operating in machine-building and chemical sectors. The activities of mine and metallurgy
sector has subsided versus the previous month. The growth rates of agricultural
production has decelerated too, and, despite of considerably rising prices in the
internal market , the agricultural companies faced decline in their sales volumes. The
business actvity of construction companies and retailing companies is lower in the
current year than that in the previous year.
