To find funding for pensions

The necessity of indexation of pensions on actual inflation (12.2% draft September forecast of economic development) insisted that the social block of the government. Last week the Minister of economic development Alexei Ulyukayev said about the decision to hold until February indexation of insurance part of pensions by 4%, as previously proposed by the Finance Ministry. Such indexation of the insurance part of pensions and simultaneous freezing of the cumulative part of the pension has already been approved, said a senior source in the government.

Batalina said today that “we need to seek funding to spend during the 2016 doindeksatsii the pensions to the amount of actual inflation.” “We understand that to do so is February 1, as suggested by Federal law, does not work, but we are ready to return to this topic in the first six months,” said she.
“All the decisions have been made, but there are circles on the water, a different kind of PR circumstances. For example, what Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will meet with United Russia, said a senior government official.
“Medvedev may not give a big indexation of pensions, and the second is indexing, and it will be a step forward”, — says about the tactics of dialogue with “United Russia” the interlocutor . According to him, by the end of 2016 “money”.
The proposal to condicionat pensions in the second half is an attempt to ease the stress of inadequate indexing in the early years, the head of Fund “Petersburg politics” Mikhail Vinogradov. “This compromise very handy to the Duma elections of 2016,” — said the expert.
The faction also do not support the proposal of the government to pay pensions to working pensioners, whose income in a year exceed RUB 1 million. the proposal of the Ministry of Finance until June was discussed in the government. In the summer the Finance Ministry proposed another project: 2016 not pay pensions to working pensioners with an annual income of 500 thousand rubles.
These proposals are reminiscent of the dispossession of the 1930-ies, commented today batalina. According to her, it is necessary to support the proposal of the expert community does not index the pensions of working pensioners, but to preserve it all.
