Social Fund: workers in Russia began to finance more than 85% of pensions for the elderly

According to the report of the Social Fund, its budget last year amounted to 8.73 trillion rubles, and 10.15 trillion rubles were spent on payments, which corresponds to a coverage ratio of 86%, RBC reports. According to the publication, in 2024, there was a significant shift in the system of solidarity pensions. With a sharp increase in wages, the deficit of the Russian pension system has significantly decreased, and in 2024 deductions from current salaries covered 86% of the costs of insurance pensions, which is significantly higher than 67% two years ago. The primary deficit in 2024 decreased to 1.4 trillion rubles, which is the lowest figure since 2014. To improve the situation, the state is also developing voluntary pension savings and from 2024 began to operate a program of long-term savings. It is forecasted that in 2025 the coverage ratio will increase to 92% with expected contributions to pension insurance of 10.05 trillion rubles and expenses for insurance pensions of 10.94 trillion rubles. According to Professor of the Financial University under the government of Alexander Safonov, this situation was influenced by several factors. “The first factor is the growth of wages, which increases the volume of insurance contributions,” he said. In addition, the decrease in the number of retirees due to the increase in the retirement age and the indexation of pensions by inflation also affected. Since 2017, the number of pensioners receiving insurance pensions has decreased by 2.3 million people. Senior researcher at the Institute of Social Analysis and Forecasting of the RANEPA Viktor Lyashok confirmed to the publication that the growth of salaries against the background of a shortage of personnel contributed to the balance of income and expenses of the Social Fund. In 2025, it is planned to increase the salary fund by 13.4%. However, Lyashok suggests that this ratio may be temporary. Earlier it was reported that Russians believe that a comfortable pension should be an average of 49.6 thousand rubles per month. According to a survey of job search service SuperJob, this figure is 1.5 thousand rubles, or 3%, higher than in June last year. In 2024, Russians estimated decent pension payments of just over 48 thousand rubles.
