The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation plans to facilitate the process of transferring pension savings from the Social Fund of Russia (SFR) to a non-state pension fund (NPF) and between NPFs. This approach is expected to have a positive impact on the long-term savings program (LTS).
The agency has developed and submitted to the portal of legal normative acts a draft government decree, according to which Russians will be able to apply for the transfer of pension savings through the "Gosuslugi" portal. The document is signed with "Gosklyuch" (electronic signature).
Alexander Zaretsky, General Director of Sberbank NPF, stated that it will take time for Russians of retirement age to study the new opportunities. At the same time, using "Gosuslugi" to transfer savings is quick and safe, added Andrey Fedorets, head of the Information Security Committee of the ARB.
Other experts believe that the decision of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation increases the flexibility of the mandatory pension insurance system. However, the implementation of this measure may lead to an increase in fraud with pension savings.
According to the Central Bank, as of September 2024, Russians concluded 1.23 million long-term savings agreements, with 31.5 billion rubles of contributions received.
