Prime Minister Edi Rama held a conversation with the pensioners of Unit No. 2 on economic growth and social policies, as well as the pension reform with annual bonuses and the increase that will continue according to categories to increase 5-fold by 2030.
" The only thing we have done for years has been the indexation of pensions, but this is not an increase in the full sense of the word. What I have repeated in all cases is that the truth has prevented us from increasing pensions, because the economy did not support us. Just as we had thought, the moment came when the economy enabled us. From January of this year and next year you will receive higher pensions. Every year you will receive pension increases. In the meantime, we have discussed other changes that we will make to the pension scheme, starting to create another space for all those who need to save more. There is also space for pensioners who want to work, there is also space there. We have also discussed support for the disabled, who want to be treated equally. We will correct it.
The essence of what I'm saying is the economy. It's the significant change in our economy that gives us the opportunity. The good news today is that we have these opportunities. We've moved to another level."
The first thing we will think about is you, the others will come after. And together with you, the families in need who are on the government's economic protection, for whom we are preparing a new scheme based on a basket-based spending card. We will give cards for basic items, not for pubs ," Rama said.
