The pension indexation scheme in 2025 was revealed to Russians
Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that from April 1 next year, the indexation of pensions will be determined on the basis of wage growth. According to her, based on the results of the current year, the growth rate of wages will be calculated, which will form the basis for indexation in 2025 “minus the indexation that will be carried out from February 1 to the level of actual inflation in 2024.” Thus, in Russia they will return to the mechanism that worked in the country until 2019.

On Wednesday, June 26, the State Duma may adopt a law to return indexation of pensions to working pensioners.
