    Guys I think spending 3 years and your most economically productive citizens to conquer the rust belt of one of the poorest countries in Europe may have been a bad idea

    TLDR: manufacturing PMI is an index that takes multiple statistics into account( change in new orders, change in inventories, prices paid by manufacturers etc.)

    values of the PMI under 50 mean contraction, values over 50 mean growth

    **Last month,Russian PMI was at 47.5 ,lowest level of the index since March 2022**

    so its back to contraction

    how big the contraction will be, remains to be seen

    ironically, Germany’s trajectory is opposite of Russia: manufacturing PMI of 49 in June, highest level since August 2022

    **so Germany is close to exit its manufacturing recession just as Russia already entered it**

    **and with falling oil and gas prices in coming years, that trend will only accelerate**

    at least for Germany, even if exports fall due to stronger euro, cheaper imports( due to stronger euro) and heavy infrastructure spending will help increase domestic demand for industrial goods and sevices, from the clean energy sector, rail infrastructure to defense
