The State Duma approved in the second reading a bill to index pensions for working retirees starting in 2025, as reported by RIA News.
Earlier, Andrei Isaev, deputy chairman of the United Russia faction, stated during the plenary session on June 26 that a third reading could consider restoring pension indexation for working retirees.
Prior to this, the State Duma gave initial approval to the pension indexation bill for working retirees, and the Federation Council signaled it would adopt the measure before September. This step would enable the government to incorporate all necessary parameters into the 2025 budget draft.
Earlier, HR expert Zulia Loikova noted that a law on pension indexation for working retirees has been adopted in Russia. The policy is seen as a way to retain experienced personnel, strengthen the economy, and boost labor productivity. The analyst argued that the decision would serve as an important social support measure while also promoting efficiency in the workforce.
Previously, economists highlighted the reasons behind the rebound in pension indexing for working Russians, pointing to demographic shifts, labor market dynamics, and government fiscal planning as contributing factors.
