From December 1, 2022, the subsistence minimum for disabled persons from 2027 UAH increased by 66 UAH. Accordingly, the minimum pension from this date is UAH 2093. In addition to the aforementioned increase in the subsistence minimum for the disabled, from December 1, 2022, the amount of the minimum pension payment cannot be less than UAH 2,500 for non-working pensioners under the age of 70, whose pension is assigned in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance” and who have insurance. However, the main social indicators and standards, such as the living wage, the minimum wage and the minimum pension, and all social payments dependent on them next year, according to the Law " until the end of 2023, the minimum pension will be UAH 2,093, which is two and a half times less than the actual subsistence level. Consequently, there is no provision for the traditional multiple increase in the subsistence minimum during the year and, accordingly, the minimum pension and pension supplements next year... At the same time, the government promises to index pensions in March 2023. Preliminarily, we are talking about an increase of only 5% (in 2022, pensions were indexed by 14%). This is despite the fact that consumer price growth is expected to reach 28.0% next year after inflation of 30% in 2022. This means that in two years the hryvnia will lose about two-thirds of its value at an average rate of UAH 42.2 per dollar in the state budget (the NBU predicts that by the end of 2023 the rate will rise to UAH 45.8). Therefore, one does not need to be a financial specialist to understand that the set of products that could be bought for two thousand hryvnias at the beginning of 2022 will be significantly different at the end of 2023, and the life of pensioners will become much worse, and the aggregate demand from this will not be the same..
