Since the beginning of the war, the poverty level in Ukraine has almost doubled - Getmantsev

To spread: The chairman of the profile committee of the Verkhovna Rada emphasizes that since 2022 the poverty level of Ukrainians has increased significantly and the current living wage of 3000 UAH is absurd and does not reflect real needs. By the beginning of a full -scale invasion, according to the World Bank, the poverty level of the population in Ukraine was 20%. Now it has almost doubled, to 37%, said "News.

Live" Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Danilo Getmantsev. "37% is a very, very large figure. And 20%, let's be honest, also a large figure," the elect stressed. He noted that citizens of any country in the war are always poorer, because all economic processes, according to him, are happening with a certain sign of the downside.

Undoubtedly, Danilo Getmantsev believes, peace in the country will bring the reverse trend, which is confirmed by economic history, but just wait for the war is not enough. Therefore, he proposes to create a honest calculation of the subsistence minimum, which will take into account the real costs of Ukrainians. "We have to honestly calculate the subsistence minimum.

And to tell people: today we cannot provide it, but we will show a plan - when and at the expense of what we will go to this level," - said the head of the profile committee of the Verkhovna Rada. According to him, the state has no right to pay social payments to citizens less than the subsistence minimum, because it is a violation of the Constitution.

Danilo Getmantsev proposes to separate the subsistence minimum from the calculations of salaries of officials and fines, make it realistic and gradually achieve this indicator through the shadowing of the economy and more efficient use of budgetary funds. We will remind, earlier Danilo Getmantsev has already admitted that even the actual subsistence minimum, which is higher than the nominal 3. 5 times, is also impossible to live.
