Speaking to journalists at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Deputy Prime Minister said that the revenues of the Pension Fund since the beginning of the year have exceeded the projected figures by 116 billion roubles, which is indicative of positive trends in the Russian economy, particularly in the domain of salaries and employment, despite the economic slowdown.
The Deputy Prime Minister also said that healthcare expenses would account for 6% of the GDP by 2020, which would be conducive to establishing a good and reliable healthcare system.
