Instability in the economy and foreign policy makes people increasingly think about how ordinary people can continue to live in Russia in 2016. In fact, citizens should not be worried at all, since the authorities and experts predict a favorable outcome for the country.
Thoughts about how to continue to live in Russia in 2016 for ordinary people began to arise especially often when, at the end of January, the dollar exceeded the value of 85 rubles. This was due to the intense speculative play on the oil exchange. Such a drop in the ruble, according to economists, is a short-term phenomenon, and the situation is already stabilizing. In this regard, the authorities urged people not to panic and not to start buying household appliances and other expensive goods in stores, fearing for a further price increase, as it was at the end of 2014.
Ordinary people in Russia are often discouraged by the constant news of the growing financial crisis. Indeed, instability in various sectors of the economy and exchange rates, as in the past year, will lead to a reduction in the production capacities of some enterprises in 2016. However, this is far from the peak of the crisis, and there should not be mass layoffs, as in 2015, this year. Nevertheless, in order not to be among the laid-off employees, experts recommend keeping an eye out and have an “economic pillow” - at least small savings in a bank account.
Summing up the previous questions, it should be noted that citizens are not recommended to massively exchange rubles for Western currency: the dollar and the euro will not grow much, but rather, they will soon lose value. If in 2016 or later you plan to travel abroad, you can have an additional savings account in foreign currency. He will not be superfluous, and subsequently organizing his vacation will be much easier than breaking up with dozens of rubles at the very beginning of the vacation.
Food producers also argue that living in Russia in 2016 will hardly be more difficult for ordinary people than in previous years. The cost of products will not increase much and will be characterized only by typical seasonal jumps-recessions to individual groups. In addition, many stores are beginning to specifically expand their range, trying to fit in it more budget and affordable goods.
The good news is that Russia is actively preparing for the 2018 World Cup. Many regional and nearby cities receive serious funding from the state to prepare for this event and gain the proper appearance. They will be built more cultural and recreational facilities, improve the condition of roads, there will be new modes of transport. Contrary to evil languages, Russia is unlikely to face the collapse of the economy. The authorities are actively working to solve current problems in all areas of life and will certainly take into account the state and needs of ordinary citizens.
