Deputies of the State Duma in 2018. consider a number of important legislative initiatives. They can be adopted and come into force in the coming months. Innovations will affect the minimum wage, the withdrawal of capital, the turnover of crypto-currencies and other important issues. Since January 1 of this year, the country has sharply increased the minimum wage (SMIC). If before the New Year it was 7800 rubles a month, now it has grown by 21.7% and reached the level of 9489 rubles. This jump was made in the framework of the initiative of the authorities to pull the "minimum" to the amount of the subsistence minimum, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". From now on, the minimum wage is 85% of the amount necessary for a person to survive. In accordance with the law adopted at the end of last year, the minimum wage will continue to grow from January 1, 2019. will reach 100% of the subsistence minimum. Increased requirements for minimum wages mean that this year many Russians will have salaries and related payments, because a person can not receive an amount less than the amount prescribed in the law (only if he works full time).

In accordance with it, raising funds through the initial placement of tokens (ICO) will be limited to 1 billion rubles. Investors, whom Russian laws do not recognize as qualified, will not be able to invest more than 50 thousand. in one startup. This restriction is introduced to ensure that novice crypto players, by their inexperience, do not lower all their savings in this high-risk market. In addition, the Bank of Russia will ensure that ICO-projects, under which assets are attracted, comply with strict rules and regulations. Startups will need to disclose information about the project and its investors, as well as the pricing of the token. The new law will not be too rigid so that Russian market participants do not migrate to more liberal jurisdictions. Finally, the Russian financial regulator has planned for this year the adoption of a law on control over crowd-funding (this is raising funds to finance a project - charity, start-up and t.
