Analysts reported a 15% increase in pension payments to Russians by NPFs.%

Non-governmental pension funds (NPFs) paid 182 billion rubles to Russians in 2024. This is 15% more than in the previous year. This was reported to Izvestia on June 9 by analysts of NPF Evolution, having studied the regional structure of pension fund payments from the Bank of Russia.

Of the total amount, 113 billion rubles were allocated to pension reserves, which are formed by NPFs in a voluntary format under non—governmental pension insurance (NGO) agreements, and 69 billion rubles were allocated for payments under compulsory pension insurance (OPS) agreements.

Analysts attribute the increase in payments to an increase in the number of people who have reached retirement age, as well as those who receive early retirement due to benefits.

The regions whose residents received the largest amount of payments under non-state pensions and compulsory pension insurance from NPFs in 2024 included Moscow (+4%, 25.1 billion rubles), Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (+10%, 14.1 billion rubles), Moscow Region (+16%, 10.2 billion rubles), Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District (+14%, 6.9 billion rubles) and St. Petersburg (+20%, 6.5 billion rubles).

Tatarstan (+12%, 5.7 billion rubles), the Sverdlovsk Region (+20%, 5.7 billion rubles), Bashkiria (+20%, 4.9 billion rubles), Krasnodar (+27%, 4.7 billion rubles) and the Krasnoyarsk Territory (+10%, 4.7 billion rubles).

In these regions, NPF clients range from 5% to 41% of the local population for non—state pension provision and long-term savings programs, and 15-47% for compulsory pension insurance.

At the same time, the first place in terms of penetration of NPF services is occupied by the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (47% for OPS and 41% for NGOs and PDS). The lowest results were in Moscow (15% and 5%, respectively).

Go into the gap: average payments to working pensioners increased by 150 rubles

Despite the resumption of their indexation from 2025, workers still receive 20% less than the unemployed.

Igor Balynin, an associate professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, spoke on May 27 about ways to obtain additional individual pension coefficients (IPCs), thanks to which Russians can increase payments. These include caring for children, participating in a special military operation, as well as caring for a group 1 disabled person or a disabled child.
