The experts at the Social Policy Institute at Higher School of Economics in Russia have estimated expected losses of social benefits funds as a consequence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) expansion across the country. The value of revenue loss would grow exponentially at a longer duration of the crisis and at more elevated unemployment rates. Thus, if the crisis lasted six months and caused a loss of only five percent of workplaces, the estimated losses would be measured at over 390 billion Russian rubles.

Estimated loss of social benefits fund revenues* due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Russia in 2020, by crisis duration and employment reduction rate
(in billion Russian rubles)
* Revenues from three extra-budgetary funds that provide about 70% of all social benefits in Russia are generated from two sources. Own income depends on the amount of insurance premiums that employers pay monthly from employees' salaries at a rate of 30% (22% goes to the Pension Fund, 5.1% to the compulsory health insurance, 2.9% to the Social Insurance Fund). The rest of the total income of the funds is formed by transfers from the federal budget.
