Russia’s Civilian Industry Downturn Accelerated in Early 2026, Kremlin-linked Think Tank Says - Mander
cross-posted from: https://mander.xyz/post/49756026
[https://mander.xyz/post/49756026] > Russia’s civilian industrial sectors
accelerated their decline at the start of 2026, a Kremlin-linked think tank
said, citing weak investment demand and falling output across most industries. >
> Industrial production excluding defense-related sectors fell 2% over the
winter months, according to the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term
Forecasting (CMASF). In February, output was just 1.1% above the average monthly
level of 2021, the lowest since March 2023. > > The data underscore widening
gaps between defense-driven growth and the broader economy as state spending on
the military masks weakness in civilian industries. > > … > > Rosstat data show
output declining in most major sectors. > > … > > “The epicenter of the downturn
is industries tied to investment demand,” CMASF said, noting companies are
cutting capital spending. > > Investment growth began slowing in mid-2025 and
fell 2.3% for the year. The Economy Ministry expects a further decline in 2026.
> > Production of construction materials, which was already under pressure, fell
10-25% below the 2024 monthly average in February, with cement, concrete and
brick output shrinking 1.7-2.8% per month in January-February on a seasonally
adjusted basis. > > Steel output fell 1.1% per month on a calendar-adjusted
basis and dropped 11% year-on-year in January-February. > > “The sector is
moving into survival mode,” said Yaroslav Kabakov, strategy director at Finam,
citing sharp cuts to investment programs. > > … > > Machinery and equipment
output continued to contract, falling 2.2% in February after a 1.2% drop in
January. Output is now about 75% of its 2024 average, CMASF estimates. > > A
tentative recovery in the auto sector has stalled. Output fell 1.5%
month-on-month in February to 76.6% of the 2024 average. Executives at AvtoVAZ
and KamAZ do not expect a rebound this year. > > Wood processing output also
declined, falling 1.4% in February and standing at 91% of the 2024 average and
80% of 2021 levels. > > … > > Web Archive link
