Bloomberg: Economia de război a Rusiei alimentează creşteri salariale pe care companiile nu şi le permit

As the war in Ukraine continues, Russian companies struggle to keep up with rising salaries driven by military spending, impacting productivity and competitiveness. Salary growth has outpaced productivity by about five percentage points since the war began, leading to increased costs for businesses. The unemployment rate remains low, but the economy is stagnating, and many industries are contracting. The military sector's demand for labor is rising, further straining the civilian workforce. Companies may need to raise salaries to compete, perpetuating the cycle of rising costs.
