Pensions will be indexed in 2025, but not all Ukrainians will feel it.

The deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Social Policy and Veterans' Rights Mykhailo Tsiymbalyuk reported that in March 2025, pensions in Ukraine will be indexed, which will partially compensate for the increase in consumer prices.

As reported by 'Hvylya', he stated this during a broadcast on one of the TV channels.

At the same Time, Tsiymbalyuk expressed concern about the subsistence minimum level, which directly affects minimum pensions. According to him, the minimum pension will only be 2,300 hryvnias, and this figure will concern about 5 million Ukrainian pensioners.

Moreover, the deputy emphasized that the government has taken into account the concerns of parliamentarians and promised to increase pensions in March 2025 in accordance with the level of inflation. However, this increase will be insignificant and will not fully resolve the financial difficulties of pensioners.

Tsiymbalyuk stated that discussions are currently underway between the government, parliament, and the President's Office regarding additional mechanisms to support citizens receiving minimum pensions.

'So far, no final decision has been made, but the government is looking for ways to solve these problems,' he said.

It is important to note that as of October 1, 2024, the average pension in Ukraine is 5,851.86 hryvnias. Most pensioners (61.73%) receive a pension of less than 5,000 hryvnias.

Distribution of pensions by size:

• Up to 3,000 hryvnias receive 25.79% of pensioners
• From 3,001 to 4,000 hryvnias – 17.35%
• From 4,001 to 5,000 hryvnias – 18.59%
• From 5,001 to 10,000 hryvnias – 25.57%
• Over 10,000 hryvnias – 12.7%.
