Businesses in Siberia reject investments and at the same time increase the demand for financing. There is no contradiction here: the expansion of production can be postponed, but suppliers must be paid and raw materials must be purchased now.
This photo is described in an interview with Novosibirsk Kommersant by Dmitry Lugchev of T-Bank. In Siberia, the coal industry is experiencing difficulties; Exporters of metals and agricultural products invest more carefully in development. At the same time, the food and service industries are growing - the refrigeration economy is affecting industries in different ways. Companies are looking for ways to maintain circulation, and temporarily free money is placed at interest. Therefore, the increase in demand for individual financial instruments does not yet indicate the return of investment activity. It can show how businesses adapt to the high cost of money by funding day-to-day work and leaving big projects for later.
