The Social Fund intends to divide pension indexation into two stages starting in 2026.

Pension indexation in Russia from 2026 will take place in two stages. This was announced on September 16 by the Chairman of the Social Fund Sergey Chirkov.

"The first indexation will take place on February 1 and will concern the insurance pension. It will be formed at the level of inflation of the previous year, that is, the price increase that was recorded last year," RIA Novosti quoted the official as saying.
