Living wage budget, pensions and benefits - changes in Belarus social sphere tom take effect on February 1

1 февраля 2022

A number of notable innovations in the social sphere are expected: the main reference point for the calculation of a number of benefits and pension supplements has been updated - the minimum wage.

So, from today on, it is fixed at a level of almost 297 rubles, which is three percent higher than the previous index. And following the tradition, the minimum wage pulls up the whole range of benefits.  Therefore, pensions, benefits and other social payments are going up in Belarus. Additional payments to pensions also increased.
