According to reports from pension expert Sergey Korobkin, the government has proposed an indexation rate of 10%, based on inflation and wage growth over the past year. However, the actual increase in pension payments may be lower due to a complex calculation methodology.
Moreover, the system disproportionately benefits those with higher pensions, as their monetary increase will be significantly greater compared to those receiving smaller amounts.
For instance, retirees with higher payments, such as 10,000 UAH, will receive an increase of 1,000 UAH, while those getting 5,000 UAH will get an additional 500 UAH, and individuals with a pension of 3,000 UAH will supposedly receive only 300 UAH.

The overall impact of the indexation is expected to be minimal, as the increase in payments is unlikely to compensate for the rise in consumer prices. This means that the purchasing power of retirees will not see a significant improvement, and they will not be able to afford more than before.
Additionally, the pension calculation system, combined with restrictions on accounting for additional payments, reduces the effectiveness of the indexation process. While the adjustment provides some financial relief, it does little to address the broader issue of pensioner poverty.
The specialist also notes that the proposed 10% pension indexation (which is still being calculated and has not been approved) will be based on an inflation rate of 11%.
