The government found money for Russian Post

The government has found money to support Russian Post. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, as quoted by Interfax.

At a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, the minister said that the postal operator will receive additional funds by increasing the commission for the delivery of pensions.

“A very important decision has been made: as part of our support for Russian Post, we are planning to increase the commission for the delivery of pensions. The corresponding decision is reflected in the draft budget of the Social Fund, which was submitted to the State Duma in a general package,” Shadayev explained.

Currently, the Social Fund pays Russian Post a commission of 1.17 percent; next year the figure will increase to 1.5 percent. Additional funding will go towards both stabilization and development of the postal operator.

At the end of 2025, Russian Post faced a decline in revenue by 1.8 percent, to 215 billion rubles, and gross profit by 12 percent, to 8.1 billion rubles. In this regard, the authorities continue to look for a way to support the company and are preparing new proposals in this regard.
