The size of the insurance pension will increase by 7.3% from the beginning of 2025.
This was reported by RBC with reference to the explanatory note to the draft budget of the Russian Social Fund. The document has already been submitted to the State Duma.
For working pensioners, this will be the first indexation since 2015. The decision to return indexation to this category was made in 2024.

The indexation level in 2025 is based on inflation data for 2024. The authorities expect it to be 7.3% by the end of the year.

These payments will increase by 14.75%. The average social pension will increase to 15.5 thousand rubles.
The Social Fund will allocate 17 trillion rubles for the payment of pensions, insurance benefits and provision of other social support measures. This is about 7.9% of the country's GDP.
