OREANDA-NEWS. The number of registered unemployed citizens in Russia is at a fairly low level, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on economic issues, TASS reports. According to the head of state, the main point for ensuring real growth in the income of Russians is "the creation of new, well-paid jobs, the strengthening of economic dynamics, the development of industry and other sectors."

This can be judged, among other things, by such an indicator as electricity generation. This is a good indicator that speaks about the dynamics in the economy. The number of officially registered unemployed is also at a fairly low level,” the president said.

Putin stated the need to continue to monitor the situation in the Russian economy, the economy on the labor market on a constant basis, as well as make timely decisions for the stable, confident work of business and entrepreneurs. He noted that the government and the Central Bank "have succeeded so far."

During the meeting, the president said that the sanctions policy of the economic blitzkrieg against Russia had failed. According to the head of state, it was not possible to undermine the financial and economic situation in the country.

He also added that it is necessary to accelerate the transition of Russia's foreign trade to rubles and the national currencies of partner countries. Putin recalled that unfriendly countries created difficulties for Russian businessmen, making logistics and settlements difficult.
