CCTV News:The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently said that the adjustment of basic pensions for retirees has been promoted in an orderly manner this year. At present, all retirees from enterprises in various regions have been paid in place. Up to now, 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country have determined the plan for raising the basic pension, and the adjustment range varies from region to region. From the perspective of quota adjustment, Shanghai’s monthly pension is raised to 60 yuan, ranking first in the country.
All localities determine the pension adjustment plan, and Shanghai ranks first in 60 yuan every month.
In March of this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Notice on Adjusting the Basic Pension for Retired Persons in 2018, clarifying that from January 1, 2018, retirees from enterprises, institutions and institutions who have gone through retirement procedures according to regulations and received basic pensions on a monthly basis by the end of 2017 will raise the basic pension level, and the overall adjustment level will be about 5% of the monthly basic pension for retirees in 2017. At the same time, this year is also the 14th pension adjustment in China, and it is estimated that 114 million retirees will benefit.

This year’s pension adjustment will continue to adhere to the principle of "merging", and enterprises, institutions and institutions will uniformly implement the adjustment method of "combining quota adjustment, linked adjustment and appropriate tilt".
First of all, look at the quota adjustment, which clarifies the unified adjustment standard for all kinds of retirees in this area. The monthly pension in Shanghai has increased by 60 yuan, ranking first in the country. The minimum monthly pension increase in Liaoning is 20 yuan, which is the least compared with other provinces. However, for retired employees over the age of 80 who work in Liaoning, according to the principle of proper inclination, they can receive more pensions from 100 yuan every month, which is far more than that from other provinces.
Hook adjustment is simply "pay more, pay more". For example, it is clear in Shanghai that the 2 yuan will be increased every year according to the payment period of my occupational insurance (including the deemed payment period), and if it is less than 30 yuan, it will be calculated in 30 yuan; Then increase by 2.1% based on my basic pension in December 2017.
Appropriate tilting is a special care for the elderly retirees and retirees in hard and remote areas. As stipulated in Ningxia, on the basis of quota and linkage adjustment, the basic pension 5 yuan will be increased every month for each person in the hard and remote areas, and the basic pension 10 yuan will be increased every month for each person in the hard and remote areas.
For another example, Zhejiang will give appropriate policy inclinations to senior retirees, that is, before the end of 2017, retirees who are over 70 years old for men and over 65 years old for women and under 80 years old will each issue additional 30 yuan monthly; Retirees who have reached the age of 80 and above will receive additional 60 yuan every month.

Retirement in 2018 cannot enjoy this pension adjustment.
Retirees can see how much more money they can get each month by comparing the pension adjustment plan in the area where they work. Take Shanghai as an example. Aunt Wang, who is 72 years old, has a monthly pension of 3,800 yuan in 2017, and has worked for 33 years before retirement. This time, her pension standards can be increased as follows: fixed increase of 60 yuan+increase of 64 yuan according to the payment period+increase of 79.8 yuan according to 2.1% linked to my pension+inclined increase of 20 yuan for senior citizens =223.8 yuan.
It should be emphasized that the pensions of retirees in various places are not all raised. The range of people who can participate in this pension adjustment is retirees who have gone through retirement procedures according to regulations before December 31, 2017 and received basic pensions on a monthly basis. In other words, if you retire in 2018, you can’t enjoy this pension adjustment.
More than 400 billion pensions began to be invested.
On October 31, Lu Aihong, spokesperson of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that the investment and operation of the basic old-age insurance fund for enterprise employees should be steadily promoted and the entrusted investment of the basic old-age insurance fund for urban and rural residents should be accelerated. By the end of September, the governments of 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Beijing and Shanxi had signed entrusted investment contracts with the Social Security Fund Council, with a total contract value of 715 billion yuan, of which 416.65 billion yuan had been received and investment began.
In 2015, the Measures for the Administration of Investment in Basic Endowment Insurance Funds was issued, which approved the endowment insurance funds to invest in the stock market for the first time. The measures stipulate that the proportion of investment in stocks, stock funds, hybrid funds and stock-based pension products shall not exceed 30% of the net asset value of pension funds.

Pension investment in A shares is increasing.
Like social security funds, pension funds are regarded as stable long-term investments, and the trend of positions is concerned by the market. With the completion of the disclosure of the third quarterly report of listed companies, the path of stock exchange is gradually clear. Judging from the data of the three quarterly reports just disclosed, the intensity of pension investment in A shares is increasing. According to the data of the third quarterly report this year, the number of pension holding accounts has increased to 15, holding 33 stocks, both in terms of the number of holding accounts and the number of holding shares, setting a record since the pension officially invested in the A-share market.
For long-term funds entering the market, the CSRC has previously issued a statement saying that it encourages value investment, gives play to the role of institutional investors such as insurance, social security, various securities investment funds and asset management products, and guides more incremental medium and long-term funds to enter the market.
The institution also pointed out that the combination of pension and capital market brings long-term stable incremental funds to the capital market, and the capital market also brings long-term preservation and appreciation of pension.

According to Lu Aihong, spokesperson of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in the second half of the year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will work with relevant departments to formulate specific implementation measures for the central adjustment of the basic old-age insurance fund for enterprise employees, and start the disbursement of funds as soon as possible.
At the same time, we will promote the investment and operation of basic old-age insurance funds by classification, accelerate the investment and operation of urban and rural residents’ old-age insurance funds and occupational annuity funds, further improve the level of social insurance management services, continue to fully implement the national enrollment plan, and focus on new employment and poor people, and implement accurate expansion.
