KYIV, Aug 6 - Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman expects that by the end of this year the average wage in the country will increase to UAH 10,000.

"The main priority is the average wage. And we want to increase this figure to UAH 10,000 (by the end of the year). This is a real story. Now the wage exceeds UAH 8,000," he said.

He noted that the whole economic policy of the government contributes to the achievement of this goal, including in the context of deregulation and the fight against shadow schemes.
