Despite the political crisis, the business climate remains stable: National Statistical Institute

National Statistical Institute

The economic situation in the country has stabilized in 2022. Managers in all spheres continue to expect a rise in prices in the coming three months, the latest National Statistical Institute business climate report shows. 

The growth forecasts in industry are for a 2.1 point rise in July compared to June, when the rise was by 1.7 points. The unstable markets and staff shortages remain a problem in the sector. Businesses have lower expectations in construction – by 2.9 points – which eradicates the 2.1-point growth in June. The growth outlook in retail trade is up by 0.7 points, after a 1 point rise a month earlier. In the service sector, the index is the same as in June.
