In March 2025, pensions will be increased in line with the inflation rate, which will partially offset the rise in consumer prices. This was announced by people's deputy and deputy chairman of the committee on social policy and veterans' rights, Mikhail Tsymbalyuk, during a telethon.
"Our biggest concern is the minimum subsistence level, as it directly affects the minimum pension, which, unfortunately, will amount to 2300 hryvnias for nearly 5 million retirees," — he noted.
Tsymbalyuk emphasized that the government has taken into account the concerns expressed by the people's deputies regarding this issue.
"Next year, there will be a March increase in pensions corresponding to the inflation rate," — he informed.
The deputy chairman of the relevant committee pointed out that while the small increase will not eliminate all difficulties, it will partially compensate for the rise in prices of consumer goods. Tsymbalyuk added that discussions regarding support measures for citizens with minimal pensions are ongoing in parliament and the government.
Recall that on November 19, it was reported that military personnel upon retirement can receive a pension for years of service or a disability pension. The amount of payments depends on the total monetary provision — from the salary and allowances.
