After their decline in April, they have grown by 13 points and almost reached the absolute maximum for all the 98 surveys, which was registered in January 1998. The forecasts of change in pricing grew and got back to the level noted in the beginning of the year. The adjustment of price forecasts towards a slower growth was registered in the electric power, metallurgy, wood- processing, a construction industry, while the other industry branches envisage a more intensive growth in prices than it was forecasted a month ago. The forecasts in the change in effective demand reached an absolute maximum in July- such preponderance of the hope for the growth in sales over the expectations of their fall has not been ever registered. In July, the forecasts of change in barter deals remained unchanged- at the most pessimistic level for the to years of its monitoring.
Enterprises still envisage the most intensive contraction in barter transactions.
