OREANDA-NEWS  The minimum wage in Russia should rise to 35,000 rubles by 2030, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said.

"On the instructions of the president, the government has consistently increased the minimum wage at a rate that is faster than inflation. Since January, it has added over 16.5%, exceeding 22,400 rubles. Next year, of course, we need no less growth... And by 2030, the minimum wage will have to be increased to 35 thousand rubles," Mishustin said during a strategic session on reducing poverty and increasing real incomes of citizens.
