were commented on by the relevant department. this is an area of ​​interest, we are talking about notable events in economics. veronica buta is with you. hello. one of the most anticipated news of the year for parents with many children. a new amount of family capital has been established in belarus. a noticeable increase of plus 5% compared to last year, and if in rubles, then this is over one and a half thousand. so, now families at the birth, adoption of a third or subsequent child are entitled to almost 31. let me remind you that the program has been operating in the country since 2015, initially the amount was tied to currency, from 2020 families began to be assigned 22,500 rubles. every year the amount of capital indexed taking into account inflation. during the entire period of the program , almost 134,000 deposit accounts were opened, in total this volume is estimated at 4 billion rubles. almost a third of the family capital was used ahead of schedule. what is important is that the program

proves its effectiveness year after year, the number of large families in the country is increasing. today there are 123,000 of them. family capital is state support, which gives even more opportunities to large families. the program helps parents decide on housing issues questions. by the way, funds are most often used for these purposes. you can also pay for education and receive medical services. family capital is a popular measure among large families. the size of family capital determines. on the date of birth of the third or subsequent child or on the date of adoption of the child, and does not depend on the date of application for him; accordingly, those children who are born between january 1, 2024 and december 31, twenty-four, the family capital will be assigned to them in size 31.480 rub. children who were born in 2023 until december 31, 2023 inclusive, they have family capital for... construction or

purchase of housing, by the way, 2024 is the anniversary year for family capital, it is 10 years old, this year’s budget includes 380 million rubles for the program. we asked the head of the relevant department whether it is worth waiting for a raise for state employees this year. increasing the base rate from january to 250 rubles is the first step this year to increase the salaries of public sector workers. the ministry of labor and social protection does not rule out that there will be a second one. this question is being considered, the decision will depend. everything from the work of the economy to fill the revenue side of the budget. by the way, at the beginning of the year, in addition to the base rate , the minimum wage also increased; this is a state standard in wages that applies to all workers, both the budgetary and real sectors. by the way, over 5 years it has grown by 60% in belarus.

we asked the minister about this, as well as about funded pensions, how many belarusians are already saving for additional income and what legislative innovations are important to know regarding the payment and receipt of pensions. irina kostevich, irinavna, hello, since january of this year, the size of the base rate has already changed, as well as the minimum wage, of course, we are all concerned about what state employees can expect, is it worth the wait and who will get more of a raise this year? well, it’s probably right to talk first about the minimum wage, because this is the state minimum social wage.

we also moved step by step over the years to increase the base rate, the base rate is the main basic element, the foundation of wages in the public sector, from january 1 twenty fourth year 250 rub. by january last year this is an increase of 10%, of course the base rate rises, and they grow accordingly.

we lived with this new element of the funded system for a little over a year, but more than 21 thousand came to the offer from the state and took advantage of this offer, mostly women actively took advantage of it, more than 70%, so of course, those born in 1970 are our women, and those who were born in 1960 are our men who are 5-6 years old.

evaluates how to spend it correctly, in the same way, the state budget counts every penny, because this money works for every person, for every belarusian in our country, analysis of the expenditure side of the budget we saw that there are significant resources, and this is 114 million rubles. by 2023 , we have allocated services for the delivery of pensions, what is this today by...

resource, therefore, it is provided for in legislation, the norm has been adopted, from july 1 , 2024, the approach to the payment of pensions is changing, exclusively only for young pensioners under the age of 70 years, townspeople who live in urban areas, they will receive a pension from banks, through the banking system, everyone else who lives in rural areas, regardless of age, and those who live in urban... areas are 70 plus and disabled people of the first second groups, they will have the right to choose:

bank, post office, or delivery. now let’s take a break for a short advertisement, then about innovations in the management of housing stock, at whose expense should we plan a major renovation of the house. stay with us. despite the distance, i think there is there are a lot of things in common between our countries, but i think that the main thing is the value of patriotism, here there is such patriotism, just like we have in venezuela, and this is what makes me feel comfortable here in belarus, because despite the fact that this is another country, i feel as if i am still living, of course, the first thing that unites us, our peoples, i would say that this worldview is in any case a... and, probably, we they are similar in that both belarusians and venezuelans are hospitable and very kind.

both venezuelans and belarusians value their culture. we are united in this in that every nation through its culture wants to show what it is like, but at the same time, culture unites peoples, i like places, i like people too, but especially with you, i can say, you have more natures, more, well, especially here not in nastalitsa. these parks, convenient, beautiful places, well, this is very good, this is an area of ​​interest, we continue, now about exchange rates: the russian ruble has risen in price, the june dollar has fallen in price. so, the american dollar. costs 3 rubles 15 kopecks, the euro is now at the national bank rate is 3.43, for 10 yuan they ask for 4.35

and 100 russian rubles costs 3 rubles.59 kopecks. in belarus, changes have been made to the management and operation of the housing stock; they are reflected in the relevant presidential law. the innovation concerns major repairs, or rather the transfer of funds for these purposes. it was decided to change the mechanism. now the money will be accumulated in special accounts. increased responsibility is also provided.

now these are exclusively special accounts of executive committees. why was this decision made, what is its background, to refuse precisely from the accumulation of funds in the accounts of owners' associations, as was the case before. until the new year, the owners' association had the right to transfer these funds either to the accounts of local executive bodies or to their own accounts, and then use them for the purpose. capital repairs, but as practice shows, the funds that citizens contribute are actually not enough to carry out a full-fledged capital repair, and the state system for organizing capital repairs suggests that this today, a more effective method of carrying out repairs to the housing stock, since today about 60% of the state participates in financing the capital repairs of the housing stock, in addition, it reveals...

all citizens of the republic of belarus and, of course, local executive administrative bodies made decisions to carry out major repairs, in including with the participation of budgetary funds in these residential buildings, therefore, a decision was made on a unified mechanism for allocating funds for major repairs for owner associations; this the right or obligation to transfer funds

to special accounts of executive committees, today this is already an exclusive obligation, that is, all... deductions that citizens of the republic of belarus make for major repairs of apartment buildings must be transferred to the accounts of local executive and administrative bodies. when we talk about the state system, the funds contributed by citizens are used today to carry out major repairs of other houses that are located.
