By 2030, the minimum wage in Russia will rise to 35 thousand rubles. This was announced on July 1 by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at a specialized strategic session.

He noted that on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the government is consistently increasing wages, and these rates are outpacing inflation. So, since the beginning of the year, the minimum wage has increased by more than 16.5% and amounted to 22,400 rubles.

"By 2030, it is necessary to increase the minimum wage to 35 thousand rubles. As you remember, the head of state gave us this assignment," Mishustin said.
