Reforming the Public Pension System in the Russian Federation

Frank Eich, Mauricio Soto () and Charleen Gust

No 2012/201, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Pension reform is a key policy challenge in Russia. This paper examines how pension spending could increase in Russia in the absence of reforms, quantifies the impact of some recent proposals, and suggests some alternatives that would ensure public pension benefits - relative to wages - not fall from current levels while containing spending.
