Russians take the pocket?

Finansy26-02-2008 Russians will take the pocket? One of the measures to contain inflation the Bank of Russia proposes controlling growth of wages, which, according to officials, ahead of productivity growth. Thus, the Central Bank is trying to absolve themselves of responsibility for the failure to control inflation, experts say. At the same time attempt to limit the growth in incomes will throw the country back to "black" wages. The rate of increase in salaries of the Russian population grow too fast. So, according to Federal State Statistics Service, last year's average wages in nominal terms compared to the country increased by 26.7% compared to 2006, amounting to 13,518 rubles. In a real comparison, this figure rose to 16,2%. According to the Ministry of Economic Development, the rate of increase in wages in two or more times the rate of productivity growth. Due to the fact that consumption in this country still high, this together creates a risk of accelerating inflation, according to the Central Bank. While in Russia, according to Central Bank First Deputy Chairman Alexei Ulyukayev, there is not expected no crisis, still as a special economic policy measures need to enter to control the growth of wages, as well as foreign borrowings. And it's time to do it now.
