“We have data from the Ministry of Social Policy that the actual cost of living in Ukraine is 2615 hryvnia, and the average income per person in the first quarter of 16 is 2317 hryvnia,” she said.
Babak added that in the current situation, residents of Ukraine have practically nothing to save “for a rainy day.”
“99,7% is people's current spending of what they earn. Statistics show that only 0,3% goes to savings,” says the deputy.
