The State Duma called for discussing the automatic transfer of pension savings of Russians to the Social Security Fund

It is necessary to discuss the automatic transfer of pension savings from non-state pension funds (NPFs) in Russia to the long-term savings program (LDS). This was announced on June 18 by Anatoly Aksakov, head of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, during a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2025).

"We need to think about it, we can't even squeeze it here so that people trust the state, but we need to see that we make a legislative decision so that everyone is transferred to the CDP. I'm launching a discussion," said the deputy, quoted by TASS.

According to Aksakov, it is necessary to consider the transfer from the NPF to the PDS at the legislative level. He added that it is also important to find a way to convince citizens who have not yet completed such a transition to do so. The MP stressed that there would definitely be "advantages" from this step.

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.

Analysts at NPF Evolution told Izvestia on June 9 that NPF paid 182 billion rubles to Russians in 2024, which is 15% more than the previous year. It is clarified that experts attribute the increase in payments to an increase in the number of citizens who have reached retirement age, as well as those who receive early retirement due to benefits.
