The press-office of the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, the Governmental Portal reports.
Vice-Prime-Minister of Ukraine Pavel Rosenko is convinced that in 2016 the social standards raise rates will exceed inflation rates, he said to NewsOne.
“We forecast that next year social standards will be raised at higher rates than inflation in Ukraine. For the first time for last three years we have raised real salaries by 12% versus 2015, taking into account inflation. That is, salary raise rates will be higher than inflation. Today, the average salary rate is about UAH 5 ths”, Pavel Rosenko said.
According to him, for the last six months we managed to stabilize the national currency rate and market prices, including food, pharmaceuticals and manufactured products.
“If next six months we have the same high rates of salary raise, we will manage to cover those inflation drops, which we had in 2014-2015”, the Vice Prime Minister noted.
“In general, the economic situation and these salaries raise indicators give reasons to speak that Ukraine has already reached the extreme point of its drop and we gradually start emerging from severe social and economic crisis, which Ukraine was going through for the last three years”, Pavel Rosenko summarized.
