TIRANA, July 15 /ATA/ – Social security contribution revenue in Albania rose 10.9% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, reaching 93.9 billion leks, according to official data.
Statistics released by the Media and Information Agency on Wednesday showed that social security contributions collected during the January-June period totalled 93.9 billion leks, up 10.9% from the same period a year earlier.
The increase was driven by higher wages, continued formalisation of the economy, the introduction of reference wages in key sectors, increases in the minimum wage and expanding economic activity, the Agency said.
According to the Agency, a more formal labour market and higher contribution revenues strengthen the sustainability of Albania’s social security system and provide greater security for citizens.
