Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin revealed plans to modify pension indexation starting in 2026. Under the new system, pensioners will see their insurance pensions adjusted twice annually. February adjustments will track previous year inflation rates, and April changes will align with Social Fund revenue growth.
The government restarted indexation for working pensioners on January 1, 2025. Current data from the Social Fund shows approximately 41.17 million registered pensioners nationwide, representing about 28.18% of Russia's total population. The two-stage indexation scheme aims to provide more consistent financial support for retirees. Through these planned modifications, pensioners can expect more predictable income increases.
