Russia Confirms 7.6% Pay Rise for Federal Employees From October 1

A government order instructs federal agencies to lift federally funded wages by 7.6% starting on that date.

Overview

  • The order directs federal bodies and institutions to increase pay financed from the federal budget by 7.6% effective October 1, 2025.
  • Coverage includes workers in federal government agencies, federal treasury, budgetary and autonomous institutions, military units, and executive bodies with military service.
  • Main administrators of federal budget funds are tasked with implementing the pay increase, according to the text of the order.
  • Earlier expert commentary to RIA Novosti said a previously planned 4.5% adjustment was raised to 7.6% due to high inflation.
