The aim is to ensure that compensation for public servants keeps pace with rising living costs while maintaining fiscal discipline across the budget.

Earlier reporting by Izvestia had cited research conducted by experts from the Higher School of Economics at the National Research University. The analysis indicated that the share of medium and large enterprises experiencing wage delays had fallen markedly over the years. From roughly 2.5 million workers facing delayed pay in 2005, the figure dropped to about 10 thousand by 2023, suggesting a sustained improvement in wage timely payment across the economy. This trend reflects broader efforts to address unpaid wages and stabilize payroll practices within the Russian business environment since the mid-2000s.
