RAMA’S PROMISE
THE PRIME MINISTER: WE WILL RAISE SALARIES MORE THAN THE COUNTRIES OF THE REGION
"100 million USD for salaries and pensions"
“This is the largest amount made available to Albanian families. The previous government allocated 124 million for 8 years. Relations with LSI? They have their own job, on the ground we grow together”

Prime Minister Edi Rama declared yesterday that Albania will no longer be last in the region in terms of the lowest and average salary. In his Facebook column “Week’s Communication”, Prime Minister Rama spoke yesterday about the government reforms undertaken over these three years. He focused on the justice reform, but also on salary and pension increases. Rama said that 100 million dollars will be transferred from the state budget to family budgets. “Today the government is ready to shift a full 100 million dollars from the state budget into the family budgets of workers and pensioners. This is by far the largest amount ever made available to families in a single year for salaries and pensions. The previous government allocated from the state budget for salaries and pensions 124 million dollars over 8 years,” Rama said. “Albania will no longer be last in the region for the lowest salary”
