Rama: I am aware that more needs to be done to mitigate price increases
Prime Minister Edi Rama

In the face-to-face column where Rama responds to citizens, he acknowledged the price increases.

" Of course, the economy is not good enough, and people are inclined to demand more. I am aware that more needs to be done to mitigate the increase in prices, in some cases beyond logic, but the figures speak for themselves. If when we took office there were 100 thousand active companies, today there are 250 thousand. An extremely significant figure, as well as another important figure, today we have 57% of employees with 0 taxes, 36% are with taxes from 4-10%, to give people the opportunity to have more in their pockets. Almost 10% of employees have a salary above 10%. With this system that we introduced, we have left 145 million euros in people's pockets per year. That is 1.4 billion euros in 10 years, which we have taken from the state budget and left to the citizens.

The only system in the region where small businesses pay 0 taxes.

"We started with a gross national product of less than 10 billion, today we are close to 25 billion. These are facts ," said Rama.
