Based on the results of Q3 2019, the industrial production demonstrated growth which was facilitated by positive dynamics both in the primary and manufacturing sectors. At the same time, it is not absolutely certain that growth will continue in the long-term prospect. In the past few months, output growth observed in a number of sectors can be largely explained by a favorable market situation, but it cannot be maintained amid shrinking domestic demand. 

Key words: industry, economic sectors, mining industry and manufacturing, Rosstat.
