TIRANA, April 12/ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated today that as of January 1, a new round of wage increases has begun, focusing on boosting real income and protecting purchasing power.
During his “FLASIM” (Let’s Talk) podcast, Rama said that wage indexation is a mechanism that was previously missing, hindered by structural economic limitations rather than lack of will.
According to the prime minister, driven by new economic growth, public sector wages will now be indexed every two years to protect purchasing power implementing targeted, category-specific mechanisms to inflation-adjust the wages of essential public sector workers, including teachers, healthcare staff, police, and administration.
“By fostering sustainable economic growth, this policy enables tangible improvements in the household income of working families who build our economy through honest work”, said Rama. /r.e/p.s./
