The indexation of insurance pensions in Russia at a level not lower than actual inflation will require additional funding in the amount of 150-200 billion rubles next year, experts calculated at the request of the Izvestia newspaper.
As the newspaper notes, from January 1, pensions will be increased by 5.9% laid down in the budget of the Russian Federation, and after amendments to the legislation, pensioners, as suggested in the State Duma, can compensate for the difference with inflation.
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin spoke about this the day before. During a large annual press conference, the head of state pointed out that in the face of rising prices, the Russian authorities will have to “do everything” to index pensions in line with actual inflation. At the same time, according to him, “so far” the government “on the whole managed to do it, and we will definitely do it.”
At the same time, Putin specifically stipulated that in 2022 “the pay and pensions of law enforcement and security officials will be indexed according to actual inflation.”
We will also remind that earlier the deputy manager of the PFR branch in Moscow and the Moscow region Marina Tarasova told the PRIME agency that in Russia the right to an insurance pension next year will be received by women born in the second half of 1965 – that is, who will already be 56.5 years old. and men born in the second half of 1960 – at 61.5 years.
We add that from January 1, 2019, amendments to the pension legislation came into force in Russia. In particular, it is planned to gradually (until 2028) increase the retirement age for men – from 60 to 65 years, for women – from 55 to 60 years. Moreover, according to official statistics, the average life expectancy in Russia is less than 73 years.
