Starting with June of the current year the retail trade turnover and investments in fixed assets growth rates in annual terms have been observed to slow down. In such a situation the acceleration of the real incomes of the population growth rates by 7.2% and real wages – by 7.8% versus August 2011 is worrying. The increase in the production costs due to the growth of expenses for labor remuneration leads to the worsening of the enterprises’ financial results.
