The Brief
- Major Russian economic reports will be delayed through at least Nov. 13, 2026.
- The delays follow a recent major hack on the statistics agency Rosstat.
- Rosstat is still struggling to restore its systems.
Why it matters
Outages at a national statistics agency can delay the official data that analysts and data pipelines depend on, so teams using Rosstat releases may need to plan for missing or late figures.
