The standard of living of pensioners is stagnating and even declining. This was stated.

Head of the Accounts Chamber Alexey Kudrin. In his opinion, the state has reached the edge - it does not have.

resources to increase pensions for older citizens. Since 2016 year. in the country no longer.

index payments to working pensioners. Options for increasing the load on.

business is strongly opposed to the entrepreneurial environment. In this situation, the standard of living will only decrease,.

if nothing is done. The initiative of the Cabinet gives a chance for the growth of the monetary.

the elderly. The immediate goal is to guarantee the size of the pension in 40% of the.

salaries. And in the future - to bring it to 60-70% of the salary. This is not achieved without raising the retirement age, I'm sure.

Kudrin. As previously it was possible to index pensions due to funds from.

Reserve Fund. But he is no more. And oil revenues can not serve as a basis.

for the payment of pensions, it is very unstable such source. However, according to Kudrin, it is more important now not to discuss the issue.

increase the age of retirement, and ways to increase.

life expectancy, for example, the program "Active Longevity", and.

problems of medical care, job security for all.

including citizens after 50 years. Changes in the pension law change the model of life.

elderly people for the better - that's what counts, says Kudrin.
