Putin called the goal number one increase in the income of citizens

According to him, starting from the third quarter of the outgoing year, certain growth rates of household incomes and real wages are observed.

“It is necessary that this trend be maintained and, conversely, strengthened ... This is task number one,” the head of state said.

Previously, Putin called modest results of work to increase citizens' incomes and called for a change in the situation.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev later emphasized that over the past nine months the “trend has changed” - the real disposable income of Russians began to grow.
