In the Nizhny Novgorod region, it was proposed to freeze the link to a measure of social payments for pensioners, large and disabled families, job veterans and orphans up to 2028. The corresponding bill was submitted by the governor of the region as part of the steps to reduce budget spending and ensure the regional balance. At the same time, the authorities intend to suspend the link to the index of renting regional and municipal officials. However, the refusal to increase social benefits against the background of inflation means a gradual decline in their purchasing power. A final decision has not yet been made, but the initiative points to increasing budget constraints on the regional level.
