Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin in an interview with RBC rated the influence of migrants to increase inflation.
According to the Grador, the lack of migrants partly affects the increase in inflation. At the same time, the mayor noted, the business is adapted, and the volume of work not only did not decrease, but also increased.
Sobyanin explained that when last year the construction was closed for almost two months, and it was also decided to suspend work on improvement and repairs, construction organizations were forced to dismiss many employees, which pulled an increase in the cost of labor “and Everything else also began to grow. “
“Because when the salary increases without increasing the productivity and final product, any economist will tell you what it leads to. Therefore, we see an increase in inflation,” the mayor of the capital explained.
In the same interview, Sergei Sobyanin rated the need for new measures to support the capital’s business. According to him, about 100 billion rubles were spent on supporting citizens and business. “These are direct payments, and delay rental payments, and tax preferences,” he said. Sobyanin added that the most important thing in support of business is “do not distribute money, but to give the opportunity to work.”
