KIEV, Feb. 6 – There are no risks for macroeconomic stability after the increase of minimum wage since the start of the year from UAH 1,600 to UAH 3,200, Chairman of the Council of the National Bank of Ukraine Bohdan Danylyshyn said.

"I think that the increase of minimum wage was a right step of the government in the labor remuneration system and increasing standard of living of the population. I do not see large risks for macroeconomic stability in the increase of minimum wage: inflation forecasts remain within the target benchmarks," he told Interfax-Ukraine.
