“Indeed, in recent years, these revenues have been declining for a number of reasons. Over the past nine months, this trend has changed, they, these incomes began to grow. And it is likely that by the end of the year we will have not a minus, but a plus. But the plus is very slight. Maybe 0.2-0.3%, ”he said.
As the Prime Minister emphasized, the most important thing is “the well-being of people and their feelings.”
“Now, if they understand that their incomes are stable or, even better, are growing, then this is good. If they believe that their material well-being is deteriorating, that this is very bad, this is a very alarming signal for the state, for the government. And of course, something needs to be done with this. Naturally, we see all these processes, ”Medvedev added.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said that the salaries of Russian citizens are growing, but real income is in place, and this situation needs to be changed.
