‼️ Russian industrialists’ optimism hits 17 MONTH LOW

Pay attention to this because I’m going to reorder the data in the article so you can see the lie.

kommersant.ru/doc/6790915

The Russian Central Bank has pointed out that there are increased costs for

- labor
- raw materials
- materials
- components
- transportation

So pretty much everything

Meanwhile there really isn’t any labor left to pull from. They’re already taking people:

- without work experience
- without knowledge of the Russian language
- and even with a criminal record

But they also aren’t planning to increase wages (probably because they can’t)

Not mentioned in the article is the fact that Russia has already started pressuring 14 year olds to work.

And the migrants are disappearing (for a variety of reasons)

And taxes are increasing

So if

- everything is more expensive
- you have no people available to hire
and you aren’t willing (or able) to pay people more
- no one is optimistic

Bonus: not mentioned in the article but maybe you get pressured by the FAS to keep your prices low

What do you predict next?

Would it be this? 🤨
