Social pensions in Russia will be indexed from April 1. This was announced on December 11 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Pensions will be indexed from April 1, and at the same rate as the living wage for pensioners will increase from next year," Putin said at a meeting on economic issues.

The Head of State also pointed out that pensions in Russia should grow at a rate not lower than inflation. He recalled that starting from January 1 next year, old—age insurance pensions will be indexed by 7.6%, which exceeds the inflation rate expected by the end of 2025.
