Twenty-eight percent of respondents plan to earn extra money, and another quarter (24 percent) plan to change jobs.
Every fourth intends to increase their income by receiving interest on deposits, eight percent of respondents – through investments. Also, seven percent of study participants want to monetize their hobbies, and two percent want to rent out real estate.
Previously, Associate Professor of the Department of State and Municipal Finance of the Russian Economic University named after G.V. Plekhanova Maria Dolgova warned that lower prices for goods and services could negatively affect the Russian economy. The analyst explained that for ordinary citizens the effect of lower consumer prices in the country will be positive. In this case, Russians will be able to purchase more products with their salaries. However, for producers of goods and services, such dynamics can cause some damage.
