The Ministry of Economic Development announced a forecast, according to which by 2027 the average salary in Russia will exceed the mark of 100 thousand rubles.
The Vedomosti newspaper quoted the ministry as saying that such a scenario implies both good and bad options. In the first case, already this year the average salary of Russians will grow by 13.6% (almost 10 thousand rubles) and will be 84 thousand rubles. If everything will be bad, then such a salary awaits the inhabitants of the country due to high inflation and the decline in the ruble exchange rate.
According to this year's minimum forecast, the average salary this year will grow only by 12% - up to 82.5 thousand rubles.
Recently, the Russian Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina said that the pilot project on the introduction of the digital ruble is being actively promoted. Already now it involves 12 banks, about 600 individuals and 30 trading companies.
Earlier, excise duties on wine in Russia tripled from May 1, due to which a smooth process of price rise of the alcoholic beverage will begin in the near future.
