Maxim Topilin talked about raising wages of Russians

The salary of state employees, which was not mentioned in the decrees, will be indexed from 1 October to 4.3%.

"No one has canceled the public sector wage ratio requirements of the May decrees (doctors, teachers, social workers and scientists) from the region average. And we strictly monitor the preservation of the ratio. At the same time, in 2019, the regions of the federal budget will receive 100 billion additional rubles to maintain this balance. As the average wage in the region increases, the regional authorities will have to raise the wages of these categories of workers, "said Maxim Topilin.

The size and timing of the increase can not be named, he noted, depending on the situation in a given region. And each region has its own promotion program.

"But the ratio of the salary of the categories of state employees" in May "to the average wage should be kept constant. And we follow and monitor the respect of the proportions in the quarterly mode. Rosstat is engaged in data collection, "added the minister.

For all Russians, real wages are expected to increase this year, but at a slower pace than in 2018.

"According to the basic forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development, this rate is 1.4%, but I think growth will be slightly higher," predicts Maxim Topilin.
