In 2018, prices will be more stable than in 2017, but there should not be price controls.
Groisman said this on February 18 on the air of the television channel "Ukraine", EP reports.
"We have made a number of changes that have made it possible to start raising real incomes of the population due to the growth of the economy." I know for sure that in 2018, the prices will be more stable than in 2017", he said.
Groisman added that the nominal salary in Ukraine last year increased by 37%, and the real one - by 19%. In 2018, in his opinion, the average salary will be 10 thousand hryvnia.
"If we look at controlling prices, how they can be regulated, it's all chatter, any regulation leads to a shortage of goods and a further price increase." I chose a different path”, Groisman said, adding that the largest price increase in 2017 occurred on the market meat and dairy products.
"For various reasons, this year we are starting to restore livestock ... we will saturate the market with meat, milk, and prices will be more stable," Groisman summed up.
