Khabarovsk, February 8, AmurMedia. The retirement age residents of the Khabarovsk Territory, as well as the whole of Russia, may not exceed 63 years. He will be the same for men and women, according to news agency AmurMedia with reference to “Kommersant”.
The Ministry of Finance invites the Government to discuss a gradual increase in the retirement age to 63 years – the period for single men and women – and increasing years of service for retirement of military personnel. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov first officially confirmed the proposal after discussing anti-crisis plan of the White House – of which it has already withdrawn under pressure from opponents of the social block government.
From previous statements Ministry of Finance position is different for two reasons. First, Mr. Siluanov first suggested by retirement age of 63 years. Earlier this figure is not called, the first initiative to raise the retirement age accounts for a significant difference between the life expectancy of the male population of the Russian Federation and the OECD countries where the retirement age in the last decade, almost universally increased to 65-67 years. The mechanism of raising the retirement age coincides with the Finance Ministry’s proposal, from 2012 to speak regularly – is to increase it to six months a year for men and women. In the event that this process will begin in 2015, increased to reach the target threshold for women in 2020, for men – in 2019.
Earlier, the Ministry of Finance assumed the balance of revenues and expenditures of the Pension Fund in 2025. From the words of Anton Siluanova not followed that increase the retirement age to 63, not 65, as expected by most commentators do not allow you to perform this task. In addition, the statements of the Ministry of Finance does not follow that the growth of retirement age directly want to change conditions of federal revenues, while the second important point in the statement of Mr. Siluanova is the moment of application. Recall, January 20 (see. “Kommersant” on January 21) early drafts of the White House anti-crisis plan contained proposals for the resumption of the debate on retirement age (according to “Kommersant”, it was an offer is the Ministry of Finance). By 23 January, when the draft plan was submitted to the Ministry of Economy in the government, the wording had been commuted. As a result, President Vladimir Putin at the end of January did not have to discuss with the government whether or not to raise this issue in the framework of anti-crisis measures in 2015: this initiative is considered to be in the Kremlin and the White House missing.
This is stated yesterday and traditional opponent of the Ministry of Finance in recent years in this regard “social” Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golode ts. She stated that the issue of resuming discussions do not contribute to the authorities officially anti-crisis plan in the White House do not. This is also confirmed by the Minister of Labour Maxim Topilin, explaining that the Ministry of Labor does not develop such initiatives and even more will not make them in the government.
In fact, we are talking about the fact that blocking discussion on retirement social agencies intend to in the same way as before: any suggestions for formal retirement age has the prerogative of the Ministry of Labour, and not the Ministry of Finance, and the agency will discuss the development of the very documents only under pressure of higher authorities, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and President Vladimir Putin – both no instructions in this regard were not given. Himself Anton Siluanov initiates discussion only through the prime minister or president – of the question in the administrative plane rests on the ne ed to harmonize the project Ms. Golodets and the Ministry of Labour. Without these actions, thus, thought Anton Siluanova remain exclusively interviewed by the media: their administrative machinery for the White House formally does not exist – at least, they do not exist as something that generates a workflow.
Anton Siluanov also said yesterday about other items that fell out of the draft anti-crisis plan and the Ministry of Economy and related pension costs: the discussion of the non-payment of pension secured working pensioners and an increase from 20 years for a longer period of years of service for the military and other security forces that have preferential right to state pensions (remember we are not talking about pensions Pension Fund). Neither the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Interior or other security forces had never been publicly commented on its position on this issue.
Usually, Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev for a few days of discussion in the political arena of such a proposal to the categorical statement renouncing the idea of discussing raising the retirement age – at least it was in the last eight to ten years. The absence of such denials may mean that the Ministry of Finance Initiative, this time a little more likely to be discussed than before.
