According to him, the government allows for the minimum salary, amounting to UAH 3,723, for the next year.
“Let us see, if the economy allows – we will raise it”, he noted.
“One more question is to raise the average salary in the country in 2018 to UAH 10,000 – with such exchange rate and prices as of today. Today, we have UAH 7,400. I think that by the end of the next year, we raise it to 10 thousand”, the Prime Minister added.
