Russia Records Losses in Major State Run Industries
Russia reports that several government operated sectors posted deficits in the new fiscal year starting October 1. Baku oil fields produced 12 percent below plan with a 12.5 million gold ruble deficit, Grosney fields owed 3 million gold rubles, and the Donetz Basin Trust lost 4,084,000 gold rubles. Timber also failed to meet targets while grain exports underperformed, despite ambitions to attract foreign capital and raise grain prices for peasants. The 1923 grain yield is estimated at 2,749,000,000 poods, up from 2,242,000,000 last year, indicating a modest gain overshadowed by shortfalls in key industries.
