What happened

The Russian services business activity index (PMI) rose to 49 points in July 2026 from 48.2 points in the previous month, S&P Global reported in its latest study.

Why it matters

"The latest data indicated a slight decrease in output levels at service providers that was the slowest in three months.

Common ground

The drop in activity was linked to weak client demand and a further decline in new business inflows," the statement says.

Perspective signals
