TIRANA, Sept 15 /ATA/ – Albania’s economic growth is translating into increased financial support for citizens, with government spending on key social programmes rising in the first seven months of the year, Finance Minister Petrit Malaj said on Tuesday.
Malaj said spending on economic assistance, people with disabilities and their caregivers was 841 million leks higher than in the same period last year.
The government also provided 576 million lek more in support for people formerly subjected to political persecution, while spending on birth bonuses increased by 300 million leks, he said.
“So, in every area, there is more support. Behind every figure are people, families and children, and this is our goal: to collect more revenue,” Malaj said.
He said economic growth should be reflected in people’s everyday lives through greater support for families facing financial difficulties, people with disabilities and other groups most in need.
