Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
This is a year-on-year rate of change, not the absolute level — a level can stay high while its change reads as high stress.
Cement demand & output currently reads -10.7 % YoY, mapping to a stress of 52/100 — moderate pressure.
Across the tracked period the stress has eased by 1.0 points.
The value is sourced via a proxy indicator; confidence — medium. How it is derived: Cement and basic building-materials output and shipments (Rosstat/industry, SMPRO, Tebiz Group) as a proxy for real construction activity.
| Date | Value | Stress |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-10 | -10.7 % YoY | 52 |
| 2026-09-04 | -11 % YoY | 53 |
| Period | % YoY (cement consumption) | Stress |
