| Minister of Finance B. Javhlan: salaries of 217,000 civil servants and pensions of 486,000 senior citizens will be increased starting from July 1. |
|  |
In his announcement, Minister of Finance B. Javhlan discussed the approval of a budget amendment that will lead to an increase in salaries for 217,000 civil servants and pensions of 486,000 senior citizens, effective from July 1.
Minister Javhlan acknowledged that this increase in budget expenditures would impact the money supply and potentially cause changes in inflation. Recognizing that the public cannot afford to wait for an extended period, the decision was made to implement the budget amendment promptly.
The government's focus is on enhancing the real income of the population by increasing salaries, pensions, allowances, and child benefits. To counteract the negative effects of rising inflation, both fiscal and monetary policies will be employed. Economic and administrative measures will be implemented to address these concerns.
Minister of Finance B. Javhlan said that there is limited scope for the central bank to lower policy rates. This suggests that monetary policy will be maintained at a tight or restrictive level, implying that interest rates may not be lowered to stimulate borrowing and spending.
Administrative measures will be taken to combat issues such as artificial price hikes and market shortages, utilizing the budget clarification to address these problems effectively.
Overall, the government aims to improve the living standards of the population by increasing income and combating inflationary pressures through a combination of economic and administrative measures.
