Dmitry Medvedev said that, despite the fact that the budget for next year is very conservative, however, commitments to increase pensions and salaries of workers in budgetary systems remain a priority. These two groups are the most vulnerable, so caring for them is important. In July, as reported by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, working pensioners also receive a supplementary pension. The biggest level of increase will amount to 222 of the ruble. In the future, i.e. by 2020 it is planned to increase insurance old-age pension up to thirteen percent, amounting to 14.9 per thousand. Medvedev also reported on the need to strengthen social protection of the Russian citizens, stressing that it is impossible to save at this point. Next year's budget is considered in the government, it will be approved before October 1.
