TIRANA, Oct 29 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated on Saturday that, in the energy bill of every family and small business, 20% is paid by consumers and 80% is paid by the state.
In his remarks at the meeting for the presentation of achievements and projects in the Peshkopi municipality, Rama said that, “we are making every effort not to allow the soaring price of energy to affect families and small businesses.”
Rama went on saying that “if this were to happen, it would send the prices of all products skyrocketing.”
Then, Rama added, inflation would be as high as in other countries in the region.
“Today we have the lowest inflation rate in the region just because we have put a financial shield on every family and every small business and we want to keep this financial shield at all costs”, said Rama.
