The Federation Council approved a law that from 1 January 2020 raises the minimum wage (SMIC). With the New year the minimum wage will be 12 thousand 130 roubles per month (currently 11 thousand 280 rubles). The law was passed by the Parliament on 12 December.

We have the opportunity from may 1 this year to equalize the minimum wage and a living wage, we’ll do it,” — said Putin.
