Manufacturing has declined in Russia for the four straight months; civilian economy in recession.
So similar to the EU and US but not as bad?
Didn't the EU have 3 years of contractions?
"Eurozone Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, fell to 49.8 in September from 50.7 in August - which was the first reading above the 50.0-point line denoting growth since mid-2022."
And didnt the US have 7 months of manufacturing PMI contractions?
"It was the seventh straight month that the PMI remained below a reading of 50, indicating contraction in manufacturing."
