Poverty is already close: Russians began to complain more often about small salaries

The economic situation in Russia continues to deteriorate and it is already felt by ordinary Russians. Full -scale invasion of Ukraine and unprecedented sanctions accelerate inflation in Russia and influence the financial well -being of ordinary Russians. At the same time, the authorities continue to cheerfully report that everything is well in the country, while about 45% of citizens are lacking salaries in order to cover the basic needs.

About it in the commentary of the Telegram-channel "Can we can explain" said Doctor of Economics Igor Lipsitz. He commented on the study of one Russian portal to find the work that 45% of Russians are difficult to live on a salary. According to the expert, it is all because of inflation that is only accelerating in Russia. "The Russians see not the rise in prices that they talk about in Rosstat and CB. In shops, they see how the basket is more expensive. There is not 6-7%, but tens of percent.

Inflation will continue to accelerate, it eats Population income, "he said. In order to somehow cope with financial problems, the Russians are increasingly making money. But this is not particularly helpful to them, as loans are involved in a debt pit. "We see debt increasing obligations - over the last year they have increased by 2 trillions of rubles, now make up 32 trillions. This is more than the budget of the country.

Either you bankrupt because you can't pay the bank, or you will tighten your belt and twist. TV, refrigerator, you live in a mortgage apartment - but in the way, " - said Lipsitz. The expert predicts that the level of salaries in Russia will not rise. And the current strengthening of the ruble is unlikely to last long. "The forecast-the dollar will return to the range of 95-97 rubles. Not much currency comes to the country so that the ruble is significantly strengthened," Igor Lipsitz emphasized.

Meanwhile, on October 24, the spokesman for the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stated that the authorities did not mind if international sanctions against Russia remain in force for another ten years. He believes that everything will be good as the country has already adapted to all restrictions.
