State budget for 2017 foresees 10% increase in social standards
The national budget for 2017 foresees raising social standards by 10%, other increases, given the economic performance of the country, are not planned, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said.
"The draft budget envisages a 10% increase in minimum social standards. This means that this will be done in 2017. It is very difficult to do other actions on wages this year, given the economy," he said during the "hour of the government" in the Verkhovna Rada.
Groysman noted it is not planned to raise social standards in 2017 in excess of the figure stipulated in the national budget for 2017.
At the same time, the prime minister said next steps in this direction will be taken in 2018.
