The high growth rates are partly explained by the fact that a number of restrictions related to the pandemic were still in effect in June 2020.

Compared to the first half of 2020, growth was recorded: in manufacturing industries - by 6.4%, in the energy sector - by 8.6%, in the field of water supply, sanitation and waste disposal - by 21.9%.
