Meanwhile, housing and utilities prices fell at a steeper pace (-1.52% vs -1.15%). On a monthly basis, the CPI edged down by 0.10% in October, after edging up 0.01% in the previous month.

The S&P Global Russia Manufacturing PMI slightly declined to 48.0 in October 2025, down from September’s 48.2, signaling a fifth consecutive month of contraction and marking the sharpest downturn since July, partly due to a faster drop in new sales. However, foreign sales returned to growth amid more favorable sales conditions in existing markets. Output continued to fall amid muted demand conditions, though the rate of decline softened from September but remained solid overall.
