The population of the country continues to get into huge debts. In 2017, the number of possible bankrupts increased by 5.8%. In total there are 435 thousand of them in Russia. This is stated in the study of the bureau of credit histories "Equifax". In the risk zone are those whose debts are already more than 500 thousand rubles at least one loan. At the same time, they do not make contributions for 90 days, RIA Novosti reports.. "In 2017, the number of potential bankrupts increased by 24 thousand people, or 5.8% (at the end of December 2016 - 411 thousand people)," the study says. The number of those who can be ruined is not increasing in a single region, but across Russia, which is very alarming and frightening. On average, in 51 regions their number increased by 500 people, while only in 9 oblasts there is a decrease. However, these figures are very small. The top ten leaders in terms of the number of possible bankrupts are:.

Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Republic of Kalmykia, the Chukotka Autonomous District, as well as the Moscow, Tyumen, Sverdlovsk, Magadan, Murmansk and Leningrad Regions. Experts emphasize that the scale of the country's share of individuals who are threatened by financial collapse is fairly stable and accounts for 1.3% of the total number of borrowers. At the same time, the World Bank in November argued that within three years it is expected to increase incomes for citizens and reduce poverty.
