Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Yaroslav Nilov called three ways to increase Russian pensions. In a conversation with “ribbon.ru”, the parliamentarian agreed that state payments against the background of real inflation are depreciated. They can be increased due to indexing pensions of working pensioners, nilov spoke.
Earlier, Rosstat published data according to which the last time pensions in Russia increased in January this year – by 0.4 percent. After that, within eight months in a row, from February to September, they declined. In September, the fall accounted for 1.8 percent in relation to the same month of last year. In general, for the first nine months, pensions decreased by 0.6 percent, Rosstat said.
Statistics do not take into account the one-time payment of 10 thousand rubles, which retirees received in September. Without their accounting, nominally pensions in Russia for nine months increased by 5.5 percent, but such growth was below inflation.
three steps for pensions growth
NIL reminded that pensions are indexed on the indexing coefficient. “It is higher than the predicted level of inflation. It is now laid 5.9, and the budget has grown at the rate of 5.8. But we see that the Ministry of Economic Development and the Central Bank suggest that there will be higher inflation. Therefore, during the budget process, exclude a revision in this Parts are impossible. The fact that we have pensions against the background of real inflation are depreciated – this is a fact, “said the Department of Profile Committee of the State Duma.
He suggested take several steps to ensure the growth of pensions of Russians. “In order for pensions to grow, you need three things. The first is to index pensions to working retirees. The second is to start recounting pensions to working retirees fully. We today are recalculated for three points, it increases by 300 rubles per year, and you can raise them up to thousands per year. rubles a year, “Nilov spoke.
The third step, which Nilov proposed to take to the growth of Russian pensions, is to ensure revenue to the budget of the Pension Fund of Russia (FFR). This can be done with the introduction of a flat scale when paying contributions. In this case, Nilov noted, with the second indexation it will be possible to raise pensions.
In September, the Deputy Committee of the Committee of the Federation Council on Social Policy Valery Ryazansky recognized that the planned increase in pensions in 2022 by 5.9 percent actually means lack of indexation. According to him, this increase can be called only compensation for inflation, because it will not affect the standard of living of pensioners. Senator gave such an assessment even before accelerating prices.
