“According to the latest data, taking into account the increase, the average annual pension for non-working pensioners will be 18,521 rubles, and the social pension - 10,307 rubles,” said Finogenova.
According to her, from February 1, 2022, monthly cash payments will also be indexed by 5.8%.
As specified, the size of the indexation will be higher than the indexation projected a year earlier by 4.3%, against the background of higher actual indicators of the pensioner's subsistence minimum.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in the coming years the country will continue to increase pensions.
Putin noted that such targeted support complements systemic work and is part of it aimed at increasing citizens' incomes.
