Late in 2018, the manufacturing sector of the Russian economy saw stagnation; industries which received state support or took advantage of the favorable global market situation were on the rise. As seen from the data of the beginning of 2019, most manufacturing industries have growth. For some exceptions (for example, the food industry, the chemical industry and the iron and steel industry), this situation does not quite agree with previous trends, dynamics of fundamental factors, the recession in the wholesale and retail trade and stagnation in the cargo turnover and the building industry.
