Pensions have increased: PFU has completed financing of March payments

The Pension Fund of Ukraine has officially completed financing of pensions for March 2025, allocating 67.4 billion hryvnias for these needs. This amount is 8.4% higher than the amount of payments for February, when 62.2 billion hryvnias were transferred to pensioners. Thus, an additional 5.2 billion hryvnias were allocated to ensure increased payments.

In total, Ukrainian pensioners received 9.5 billion hryvnias through Ukrposhta branches, and the remaining 57.9 billion was credited to citizens' bank accounts. This payment mechanism allows for prompt and convenient receipt of pensions, in particular for those living in remote settlements.

In addition to financing pensions, the Pension Fund of Ukraine ensured the payment of housing subsidies and benefits in the amount of 5,241.1 million hryvnias. 2951.5 million hryvnias were also allocated for insurance payments, of which 1800.2 million hryvnias were intended for paying sick leave.

In March, state bodies provided 947.8 thousand services to citizens who applied to the Pension Fund institutions. This indicates a significant level of activity and the need of Ukrainians for consultations on pension provision, social payments and subsidies.

An important step was the indexation of pensions, which took place on March 1. This is the fourth increase in payments since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Thanks to this, more than 10 million citizens received increased pensions, the average increase was 11.5%.

The next stage of indexation is scheduled for April 1, when payments will be automatically transferred to almost 630 thousand working pensioners. The updated insurance experience will be taken into account, which will positively affect the amount of pensions. The average pension in Ukraine is currently 6,345 hryvnias, and further changes are intended to provide greater financial stability for senior citizens.
