The consumer basket in the Russian Federation is 156 items of goods and services, this list was compiled in 1992 by agreement between the IMF and the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation.

EXPLANATORY NOTE to the draft federal law "On the consumer basket as a whole in the Russian Federation"

The draft federal law "On the consumer basket as a whole in the Russian Federation" was prepared on the basis of the Federal Law of October 24, 1997 N 134-FZ "On the living wage in the Russian Federation", according to which the living wage * is determined on the basis of the cost estimate of the consumer basket, which is being revised at least once every five years, and also in connection with the expiration of the term.
________________
* The subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation as a whole is used to assess the standard of living of the population, the justification for those established at the federal level minimum size wages, as well as to determine the amount of scholarships, allowances and other social benefits established at the federal level.

Guidelines, on the basis of which, in accordance with Article 3 of the Federal Law "On the Living Wage in the Russian Federation", the consumer basket is determined, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 12, 2005 N 511.

The proposed draft law updates the volumes of consumption provided for in the consumer basket.

Given the need to improve the quality of nutrition, it is proposed to increase the nutritional and biological value of the consumer basket through:

an increase in the volume of consumption of meat and meat products, fish, milk, fruits and berries compared to the current norms;

reducing consumption rates for bread products (bread, pasta, flour, cereals, legumes) and potatoes.

The average consumption rate per person per year is proposed to be increased in the following amounts:

meat and meat products - by 22%, including for pensioners - by 39%;

fish and fish products - by 15%, including for children - by 25%;

fresh fruit - by 31%, including for pensioners - by 62%, for children - by 27%;

milk and dairy products - by 10%.

The proposed minimum food sets are an average model of nutrition, balanced in terms of essential nutrients and energy. The energy value of the minimum set of food products on average per 1 person is 2268 kcal per day (including for working age - 2418 kcal per day, for pensioners - 2000 kcal per day, for children - 2062 kcal per day), which corresponds to those developed by specialists in the field of nutrition to the norms of the physiological need for nutrients and energy for workers is very light and easy physical activity, children and pensioners (Appendix 1).

Considering that the list of non-food products consumed by the population (clothing and footwear, bed linen, cultural and household goods, essentials and sanitation), as well as the terms of their wear and tear over the past period, have not practically changed, their minimum set in natural units of measurement , included in the consumer basket, remains in the same volumes of consumption.

The norms of consumption of housing and communal, household and transport services provided for in the consumer basket in the proposed version of the consumer basket do not change, since they make it possible to meet the minimum needs of the main socio-demographic groups of the population in housing, organization of life, and movement. The increase in tariffs for services is taken into account when calculating the subsistence minimum based on the updated consumer basket.

The minimum set of services includes cultural services in a separate line in pursuance of the order of the President of the Russian Federation of April 3, 2005 N Pr-512 on ensuring access for low-income citizens to cultural values.

The updated consumer basket proposed by the draft law in value terms (in consumer prices I quarter of 2005) more than the previous one, per capita by 84 rubles or 3.3%, including for the able-bodied population - by 72 rubles or 2.7%, pensioners - by 100 rubles or 4.8%, children - by 117 rubles or 4.4 percent (Appendix 2)*.
