MP Lantratova proposed to introduce a credit amnesty for families with children

Yana Lantratova, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education, proposed introducing a credit amnesty for families with children. In her address to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, she pointed out that in Russia, more than 80% of the poor are families with children.

In the address of the deputy, excerpts from which are given “News”, it is noted that as of May 1, the debt of Russians to banks reached 30.22 trillion rubles. At the same time, the level of debt load increased from 35% to 41% as compared to the beginning of the year. Ms. Lantratova stressed that this is accompanied by stagnation in real incomes and inflation, which could weaken the financial position of Russians.

In this regard, the deputy proposes to enshrine in the legislation the right for families with children to “one-time write-off of debts” in the event of a drop in income “for independent reasons.” As an example, Mrs. Lantratova cites the liquidation of the organization in which the borrower works. At the same time, the deputy notes that the government itself should determine the list of circumstances under which a credit amnesty is granted.
