Kudrin expressed his opinion on the possible payment of basic income to citizens

He expressed this opinion on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

“In the future, I think that such a minimum guaranteed income - it is also called the unconditional, basic income in the world - that eventually countries will come to this,” TASS quoted Kudrin as saying.

He suggested that "the minimum amount of education and health-related benefits will certainly be provided."

In May, Kudrin spoke about a way to reduce the number of poor people in Russia.
