“It is necessary to correct everything in a timely manner ... Its structure needs to be improved, because there ... potatoes, fats and so on, bakery products occupy a large part, but vegetables and fruits - especially not enough of them, and fish, and meat in this basket do not occupy the proper place. Therefore, it is certainly subject to revision, ”the president said.

He noted that the subsistence minimum depends on the structure of the consumer basket, from which the minimum wage (minimum wage) is calculated.

“One depends on the other ... If we revise the basket, the minimum subsistence level will go immediately, the minimum wage. We need to calculate everything so that we don’t fail here, ”Putin said.

The president also stressed the importance of maintaining macroeconomic stability in taking support measures.

Previously, Putin called the timing of the development of regulations on matkapital.

On January 15, during a message to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed introducing a number of amendments to the Constitution for discussion, proposing to fix in the main law the norm that the minimum wage cannot be lower than the living wage.
