This contrasts with the dynamics of the Volga Federal District, where the industry as a whole grew by 27.2% (index — 127.2).

Tatarstan's industry began to grow in the fall of 2024

Recall that Tatarstan's industry, despite sanctions and a high key rate, showed good results in 2024. According to Rosstat, the industrial production index in the country in 2024 was 104.6% compared to 2023.

In 2024, Tatarstan shipped goods and services in industry worth 5.7 trillion rubles: 4.1 trillion rubles in manufacturing and 1.3 trillion rubles in mining.

In the first half of 2024, Tatarstan's industry showed weaker indicators, and in May 2024, a drop in industrial production was recorded compared to the same month last year. But in the fall, the situation unexpectedly (despite the increase in the key rate) changed — and in September, Tatarstan's industry grew by 13.1% compared to the same period in 2023, in October — by 14.1%, in December — by 12.5%. In total, this made it possible to significantly improve the indicators for the year.
