OREANDA-NEWS. January 15, 2014. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov hopes that the economy in 2014 will grow, which, respectively, guarantees the stability of social benefits. He said this while interacting with users of social network Facebook.

"I hope that this month and all delays in 2014 (with social payments) will not, - Mykola Azarov said, adding that it is primarily dependent on the conditions of the national economy. - If the economy runs smoothly, there is the stability in the country, so we can tall that no delay will be. But we must remember that not only the government provides the solution of this problem but also the work of all of our businesses, factories, transport and communications - all of our national economy."

In addition, he noted that, despite some delays in social payments that we had at the end of the year, we managed to finish the year with absolutely no debts of all social benefits. "The same task we have in 2014," the Prime Minister said.

At the same time the Prime Minister stressed that calls for disruption of work that sound, can not be regarded otherwise than as calls for delay of salaries, pensions and other social benefits.
