Against the background of the war in Ukraine, the Ministry of Social Policy is working on the indexation of pensions.

The Minister of Social Policy, Oksana Zholnovich, told about this in an interview with "Ukrinform".

She announced that indexation of pensions is expected in April, and relevant calculations are currently being made.

"We are working on indexation of pensions in accordance with inflation. There is an indexation formula and the corresponding law.

I think such indexation will take place in April.

We are currently making calculations," Zholnovich said.

She added that 28% inflation is expected in Ukraine in 2023.

However, as the minister noted, this does not mean that pensions will increase by that much, because the indexation formula also takes into account other factors.

We will remind, at the beginning of January, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced that as a result of the pension reform in 2023, each pensioner will be able to receive two payments: from the Pension Fund and the accumulation system, which will be launched as a result of the reform.

A little earlier, Shmyhal stated that despite the war, the Cabinet of Ministers will carry out indexation of pensions in 2023.
