The same parameter for ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy is expected to reach 5.5% and 1.4% respectively. Growth is forecasted in food processing industry and chemical and petrochemical industries: 6.9% and 4.7%, respectively, as well as building materials producing industry and fuel and energy industry: the average growth rates in these industries are expected to account for 11.9% and 2.0% respectively of the corresponding period in the previous year. The average growth in timber, wood-pulp and woodworking industry in predicted to account for 1.1% of the corresponding months of the previous year. Mechanical engineering and metal working industries are expected to grow by 11.5%.

An average downfall is forecasted ( 3.7% ) in light industry production as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

A growth in the industrial production ( within a range of 1.3% in ferrous metallurgy and 12% in mechanical engineering and metal working industries ) is forecasted for all industries on an annualized basis in 2005, except for only timber, wood-pulp and woodworking and light industries with an annual downfall being expected at the level of 1.4% and 5.2% respectively.

Retail trade turnover This section (see Table 2) presents forecasts of monthly trade retail trade turnover volumes as based on the FSSSТs monthly data in the period between January 1999 and October 2005.

It is evident from Table 2 that the retail trade turnover is estimated to account for 17.5% of the corresponding period in 2005. This is evident of a positive behavior in the forecast retail trade turnover in the period under review. The real monthly growth in the retail trade turnover volume is expected to average about 14.7% in the 1Q06 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Foreign trade indicators Model analysis of predictive values of export volumes, export to countries other than CIS member countries, import and import from countries other than CIS member countries was made by using time series models and structural models as assessed on the basis of monthly data within the time frame between September 1998 and October 2005 according to the RF Central BankТs data 10. The final estimates of the forecast are listed in Table 4.

The consumer price index is difference stationary time series within the time frame between November 1998 and October 2005.

Monthly inflation rates and the annual inflation rate are estimated to average 1.7% and 11.5% respectively in the 1Q06. Prices of industrial producers are forecasted to grow at 1.5% per month on average in the same period. Prices of industrial producers are predicted to grow by an average of 20.1% in 2005 according to the two models, which is above the consumer price growth rates.

The average monthly OKVEDТs industrial production indices are forecasted to grow in the period between January and March 2006 as follows: 3.0% in mining operations, 0.8% in manufacturing industries, 1.2% in production of electric power energy, gas and water, 0.8% in production of food products, 1.2% in textile and garment manufacture, -0.2% in wood fashioning and woodworking, 0.8% in paper-pulp manufacturing, 2.1% in production of coke and oil products, 1.0% in chemical production, 0.6% in metallurgy and production of finished metal products, 0.9% in production of machinery and equipment, and 0.5% in production of transportation vehicles and equipment.

Price indices of industries are forecasted to grow at the level of 8.6% on average in terms of annual growth grates, except for the mining operations index, which is predicted to Structural models were assessed for the time frame since October 1998.

Cost movement of the minimum set of food products This section presents predictive values of the cost of the minimum set of food products for the 1Q06. The forecasts were made on the basis of time series according to the FSSSТs data in the period between January 2000 and October 2005. The estimates are listed in Table 6.

This series belongs to the DS time series within the time frame between January 2000 and October 2005.

As illustrated ( in Table 6 ), the value of the minimum set of food products is expected to grow in the period between January and March 2006, with its average predicted cost being about 1,420 rubles as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. The growth in the cost of the minimum set of food products is predicted to average about 10.5% as opposed to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Cargo transportation rate indices This section provides the predictive values of price indices of cargo transportation rates12 obtained on the basis of times series models which were assessed according to the FSSSТs data for the time frame between September 1998 and October 2005. Listed in Table 7 are model estimates of predictive values for the 1Q06. It should be noted that some of the indicators under review (for example, the pipeline transportation rate index) are regulable, which makes them difficult to be described by time series models. As a result, the obtained prospective values may differ largely from real ones in cases of centralized growth of rates within the forecasted time frame or in absence of such within the forecasted period, if increased recently.

The Bulletin considers the cargo transportation rate composite index and the motor vehicle cargo transportation rate index, as well as the pipeline transportation rate index. The cargo transportation rate composite index is calculated on the basis of cargo transportation indices for various means of transportation:

railway, pipeline, sea, domestic water, motor and air transportation (for more details refer to, for example:

Prices in Russia. Official publication of the Russian State Statistic Committee (Goskomstat), 1998).
