Overdue wage arrears in the Arctic Zone and Russia
at month-end
Millions of rubles of overdue wage arrears are recorded monthly from January 2025 to January 2026. In this table, indicators are divided into two rows: the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and reference data for the country as a whole. This shows the amount unpaid to employees in northern territories compared to the national level; note that small business entities are excluded from the statistics, which defines the scope of the data

How to read this table
Comparing the rows helps identify the dynamics of debt accumulation to employees in the specific Arctic macro-region against national indicators. Each cell reflects the amount of arrears at the end of the reporting month, allowing for the tracking of changes in employers' financial discipline throughout the year. By comparing the values of the first and second rows, one can determine how the share of Arctic debts within the structure of total Russian arrears changed over the specified period
