Zee government is rushing about, anticipating the end of income from guest workers
To ensure economic growth, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine expects to increase household spending by raising the minimum wage.
However, consumer spending in Ukraine is provided primarily by the money of guest workers, who will become fewer over time.
Economic expert Andrey Vigirinsky announced this at a press conference in Kyiv, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“In order to form a budget, they prepared a strategy.
Strategy – macro forecast for the next 3 years. With all due respect to the public media community and industry analysts, this 130-page document has not been analyzed by virtually anyone or anywhere.
If you open this document, you will see how the country’s economy will grow over the next 3 years - due to the growth of consumer demand, that is, due to an increase in household expenses, while the growth driver is determined by an increase in social standards and the minimum wage, while that the Cabinet of Ministers understands absolutely clearly that the minimum wage is not a source of income for the majority of citizens.
Because at least 50% of wages are not included in the tax base.
The Zelensky government is thrashing around, anticipating the end of income from migrant workers.
