Kommersant: the main goal is to ensure regular payment of pensions.
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation, together with the main non-state pension funds of NPFs, having set out to encourage Russians to participate more actively in the accumulative system, have prepared a new pension reform.
According to Kommersant, it is assumed that the current accumulative part of pension payments will be transformed into a system of non-state pension provision. And the NGO, in turn, will complement the existing similar mechanism.
According to media reports, the Central Bank is going to transform the system, despite the failures of early projects, such as individual pension capital and a guaranteed pension plan.
According to the deputy head of the Bank of Russia Viktor Chistyukhin, insured Russians will be able to dispose of their money as “property”, fully.
Recall that now the pension savings that employers have transferred until 2014 are managed by the GUK of VEB, or by the NPF chosen by a citizen.
However, according to media reports, non-state funds themselves want that the new system should standardize the rules that the Central Bank will establish on behalf of the state.
In addition, according to the project, future pensioners will be offered benefits that would encourage them to actively participate in the formation of payments. For example, tax deductions of 6% of total income.
Also, judging by the information of & # 8220;Kommersant”, it is likely that the new system will have an option of self-replenishment of accounts, without involving employers as intermediaries.
As the main goal of the next reform, the authors indicate the provision of regular pension payments, which will provide an opportunity for early payment of it.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that it became known which of the Russians receives 446,000 rubles.
Peskov named the main topics that will be discussed in a direct line with Putin.
Tomorrow, on June 30, a direct line with Vladimir Putin will be held in the capital’s World Trade Center.
According to the new rules introduced due to the aggravated epidemiological situation in the country, everyone who wants to ask a question will act as an operator and a journalist for himself. All the videos taken in the special offer immediately fall into the Center.
On the eve of the direct line, press Secretary Dmitry Peskov spoke about the main events both in world politics and in the country.
In particular, Peskov explained that the president of the country, although he held all meetings during the pandemic since 2020, it is difficult to call such a mode of work remote by video link.
He explained that Putin had been in the thick of events 24 hours a day during all this time. Moreover, this format of work has been preserved even after vaccination against coronavirus, since the head of state observes precautionary measures and takes care of his safety.
Regarding the latest order of the country’s authorities on vaccination, Peskov explained that this process in Russia is voluntary and Putin will explain this topic in more detail during the direct line.
As Peskov explained, a cook, for example, must have a sanitary book, while he has the right to choose not to work in his specialty. The same principle applies to vaccination: anyone who wants to work with people will have to get vaccinated.
For himself, Peskov decided to get vaccinated against COVID-19, despite the fact that he has already had an infection and has antibodies and acquired immunity. Nevertheless, he decided to get vaccinated in order to experience the fullness of freedom and not face restrictions.
As Peskov stressed, it is the coronavirus and everything related to it that will be the main topic of discussion this year on a direct line with Putin.
& #8220;A huge block of questions related to covid”, & #8211; he added.
Meanwhile, against the background of the latest provocative actions of the NATO bloc countries, especially in the Black Sea, and subsequent verbal threats, as Peskov noted, Putin will be ready to use any measures to protect the country and its citizens.
However, it is better not to talk about such bad scenarios as the opening of fire on NATO ships, as Peskov stressed.
& #8220;Let’s not even talk about such scenarios… But it seems to me that we all need to know one thing, as Russians: our president is always ready to do everything to protect our country, if necessary,”, – said Peskov, explaining that “sometimes words materialize, God forbid, so you don’t even need to think or talk about it.”.
Naturally, the issue of Navalny’s FBK* was raised, which was liquidated by a court decision. In particular, Peskov explained that he does not consider such measures to be repressions at all.
& #8220;This is absolutely not repression. Extremist organizations should be called this way”, – he said.
About the reasons for the recognition of the FCB as an extremist organization, Peskov explained that all the details are described in the court decision, but the fact that this organization called people to violate the law …to lawlessness ” is a clear precedent.
As for the crisis due to the pandemic in small and medium-sized businesses, as Peskov explained, Russia is showing positive dynamics in the economy and is already beginning to get out of the crisis, and people on the ground feel it.
& #8220;Now the economy is working. Yes, the difficulties continue, they continue, like after an earthquake, aftershocks. This also continues in the economy, but nevertheless the situation is different — everyone lives, everything works, has problems, but it no longer requires such massive assistance, ” Peskov said.
The representative of the President noted that in the current conditions, domestic business should behave responsibly and focus on domestic investment.
He also expressed the opinion that since the current situation is different from the one that was last year during the lockdown, business does not need help.
Peskov also noted that targeted assistance to businesses and poor segments of the population has proven its effectiveness, in contrast to fan-based assistance and “giving money away for nothing”.

The Chinese expert spoke about the plans of the Russian Federation for dedolarization.
An expert from China, a researcher at one of the divisions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Chen Yijun, in his article for “Huanqiu shibao” called the possible dedolarization of Russia a protest, mockery and contempt of American hegemony.
In his publication, the scientist said that Russia’s rejection of the dollar will not have a significant impact on the country.
He stressed that the status of the ruble as a legitimate means of payment is quite stable, and the volume of direct trade between the United States and the Russian Federation is insignificant.
At the same time, the main economic partners of Moscow are now China and Europe.
According to the analyst, if Russia refuses the dollar, it will have the most detrimental effect directly for the United States, because it will embarrass Washington in front of its allies, and this will be a real humiliation for the United States.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the country’s readiness to abandon the dollar and start settlements with partners in national currencies.
Earlier, topNews wrote that the US dollar was predicted to collapse soon.
The reason for this scenario, according to readers of the Bulgarian media, may be the actions of Russia.
The deputy Head of the Central Bank explained the reason for the tight monetary policy.
Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Alexey Zabotkin said that a new economic crisis in Russia is inevitable.
According to TASS, in a speech at the conference “Renaissance of Capital”, the analyst said that the regulator at the same time has all the necessary tools that can support the economy and the population of the country.
According to him, the anti-crisis measures taken by the Russian authorities are & # 8220;timely & #8221;.
At the same time, the expert clarified that after the end of the crisis, it will be necessary to get rid of them in order to restore the normal course of development of the Russian economy.
The measures themselves will remain in the form of an arsenal, which can be used later. The analyst has no doubt that the crisis will come.
“It will come inevitably ”, & #8211; said Zabotkin.
He believes that the current rate of the Bank of Russia is appropriate within the framework of a tight monetary policy (DCP), which is why the upcoming tightening of the latter will have little effect on the decisions of the regulator.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that the Central Bank at the beginning of the pandemic gradually introduced “easing” for the country’s financial organizations.
In addition, there was a policy of supporting citizens and companies that suffered from the coronacrisis.
But a year later, in March 2021, the Central Bank considered that credit institutions would be able to cover possible losses. After that, the concessions were canceled.
Later, the Central Bank decided to prolong the recommendations to banks on the restructuring of loans issued to Russians and representatives of small and medium-sized businesses.
Russian Railways said that it is waiting for applications from producers of vegetables, fruits and berries.The Russian Ministry of Agriculture, together with Russian Railways, discussed the launch of a project of charter trains that will be able to deliver migrants to the Russian Federation, which the local agro-industrial complex needs.
According to Kommersant, the meeting took place last week. An insider in the agency said that manufacturers and representatives of the regions took part in the discussion, and the agency initiated the submission of collective applications for the organization of such flights by Russian Railways.
The question arose in March of this year, when foreign labor could only arrive in the Russian Federation by air. And this significantly increased the costs of manufacturers.
Market representatives said that one flight on average cost them 80,000 rubles. The Ministry of Transport said that the charter train fare will cost 12,000.
Russian Railways also clarified that these flights were approved by the operational headquarters for the fight against coronavirus, but no applications for them from manufacturers have yet been received.
Among the potential customers, the media names farmers, companies producing fruits and vegetables, but now the same production of berries is experiencing stagnation, because the area of plantings had to be reduced precisely because of a lack of labor.
Earlier, as Topnews wrote, the Ministry of Internal Affairs demanded that the CIS take 1 million illegal migrants from Russia.
The deadline set by the agency was set until June 15.
