cbr quarterly_review, 2008-06-30
The year-on-year deceleration of production growth in January-June 2008 was largely due to the slowing of growth in output in manufacturing industries (from 11.4% in the first half of 2007 to 8.4% in the first half of this year) and also in the mining sector (from 3% to 0.5%).
