Government to raise social standards in line with inflation

Ukrainian Social benefits will be increased by exactly as much as projected inflation. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said on one of TV channels.

The government expects that this year's inflation will not exceed 12 percent. It is in such volumes Cabinet intends to compensate this increase by increasing wages and pensions.

The Prime Minister also said that the government decided to reduce by half the single social payment - the so-called "tax on wages."
