the Decree “On the national development of Russia until 2030”, signed President Vladimir Putin, in fact, gives permission for the freezing in real pensions of Russians for 10 years. This writes the financial-analytical portal Finanz.ru.
it is Noted that compared to the may decree of Putin from 2017 in the text of the new decree has changed the wording regarding the increase of pensions. In the document three years ago says that the increase in the level of pension provision to exceed the rate of inflation. In the new decree, this part sounds different: the growth of pension should not be below inflation.
in fact, it means that the authorities are unable to index pensions to such a value which is increased by Rosstat, the consumer price index. Thus in real terms, i.e. net of inflation, pensions will not increase.
Also in the new Putin’s decree speaks of the need of growth of incomes of Russians “are not lower than inflation”, while in 2018, the head of state demanded to ensure the sustainable growth of real incomes of the population. In this case, the task can also be solved formally, and in real terms income growth will be zero.
