What else Ukrainians should know

Unfortunately, the government has no intention of raising the minimum wage and the subsistence minimum in 2025. Although the situation with the increase in average salaries in the country is improving, consumer prices are also rising, which limits the real purchasing power of the population.

The growth of the average salary in Ukraine indicates a certain positive economic development of the country, however, the increase in consumer goods costs can create problems with the purchasing power of citizens.
