The government can extend the moratorium on the formation of a funded pension for another year. This is written by "Vedomosti", referring to their own sources. According to them, the final decision has not yet been made, various options are discussed.

Since 2014, the funded pension has not been formed, the moratorium has been extended for 2015. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev promised to defrost the contributions in 2016, but instead the moratorium was again extended: out of 342 billion rubles, an anti-crisis fund was formed in the budget.

This time, the Ministry of Finance suggested freezing contributions to the funded pension. In the coming years, the source explained, the budget will not have enough money to transfer the pension fund, and the freezing of contributions in 2017 will save about 400 billion rubles by reducing the transfer.

Officials explain the need to extend the moratorium of the upcoming reform of the funded system. There is a decision on reform, a discussion on its configuration continues. The option is discussed with the complete abolition of the accumulative component.

In the State Duma, the Ministry of Finance is considered justified to extend the freezing of the funded part of the pension. This was stated by the head of the State Duma Committee on Labor Olga Batalina. According to her, we are not talking about the removal of funds of the population, as they often try to imagine it. All insurance premiums of people will be taken into account in the amount of their future pension, "they will be reflected in their personal accounts and indexed," she emphasized.

At the same time, according to the battaline, the size of the indexation "even in the current difficult economic situation with a high probability will be higher than the income of non -state pension funds that people could receive if their funds were sent to the NPF." “So we are not talking about any losses of citizens in this situation,” the head of the committee emphasized.
