The Russian authorities plan to discuss addressing low-income families. The Ministry of Industry will be going to consider the appropriate bill with the Government. This is reported to “Izvestia” with reference to the materials of the ministry prepared for government hour in the State Duma at the end of last year.
The initiative has already been signed by the Minister of Industry and Russia Trade Denis Manturov. He suggested supporting poor families to buy domestic goods with the help of a “Children’s Card” – an analogue of the Pushkin Card for schoolchildren and students, which appeared in the country in 2021.
New benefits can be “a good stimulus to increase demand for domestic products,” Manturov emphasized. According to him, the “lion’s share of consumption” in such categories as clothing, shoes and sports equipment falls on foreign goods. In the press service of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry, stated that they are now worked out by the initiative.
The President of the Association of Enterprises of the Children’s Goods Industry Antonina Citsoulin said that the manufacturers would support the introduction of a “children’s card” in Russia. Even one-time payments will be useful for parents, she is sure.
“In turn, we believe: support should be made monthly, for example, about 10 thousand on the family. At the same time, the funds on the” Children’s card “burn should not. Then parents will be able to save them to more necessary, expensive goods, if They will have such a need, “said Citsulin.
Earlier in the State Duma spoke about the introduction of grocery cards. Deputy Vladimir Gutenev believes that they could stimulate the consumption of domestic products.
