Industrial production accelerated last month, the State Statistics Service said Wednesday, regaining momentum after record temperatures cut manufacturing and farming output in July.
Output at factories, mines and utilities rose an annual 7 percent after a 5.9 percent advance in July.
“The first phase of the inventory cycle and export-demand-led recovery was replaced with a second one driven by consumer demand,” said Maxim Oreshkin, chief strategist for Russia and CIS at Credit Agricole.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
