The PMI index of industrial production fell below 50 points

The PMI index of industrial production of Ukraine for August 2024 was 48.7 points compared to 51.3 in July. A value below 50 indicates a reduction in business activity.

Among the key factors is the rise in energy costs after damage to generating capacities and disruptions in component supply chains.

At the same time, the sub-index of new orders remained above the neutral mark, which gives grounds for cautious optimism about the next quarter.
