For the growth of real incomes of the population, it is important to strengthen the business activity of the society. An increase in the contribution of SMEs by 1% will lead to an increase in household incomes by 0.32%. An increase in lending to the economy by 1% will lead to an increase in household incomes by 0.11%. The growth of non-primary exports by 1% will lead to an increase in household incomes by 0.13%.
