In 2019, Russians will be wrapped up in a thread

Citizens of Russia live out the last relatively quiet months. With the advent of 2019 g. they will face a sharp drop in living standards. The reason for this is a jump in prices, which will affect almost all spheres of life. In particular, the Ministry of Economic Development has already proposed to increase the prices for housing and communal services not from July, as usual, but from January 1. Say, this will save utilities from the losses they incur in connection with the increase in VAT from 18% to 20%. Moreover, the Ministry of Economic Development makes a discount to citizens - to raise the amount in the payments first offers only 1.7%. And only then, in the summer, "get" the rest. This measure has not yet been approved. But even if the initiative is not approved by the Ministry of Economic Development, the Russians still face an unpleasant surprise, says the executive director of NP "Housing and Communal Services" Svetlana Razvorotneva. "By the end of this year, all regions should move to a new system associated with municipal waste - the same separate collection of garbage. And before January 1, all subjects of the Federation must accept new tariffs for garbage.

We are now observing the situation in those regions where this has already been accepted, and we see that the payment has seriously increased, "she told" The Interlocutor ". In addition, an increase in VAT, as well as a jump in gasoline prices will inevitably affect the value of all goods in Russia. Experts believe that the increase to current price lists will be from 3 to 11%. A crop failure in Europe and a number of Russian regions can make some food products scarce, which will also negatively affect prices.
