During a meeting with residents of Unit No. 2 in Tirana, where he presented the 2026 draft budget, Rama emphasized that the increase in the minimum wage is a commitment made before the Socialist Party won its fourth consecutive term in government.
Prime Minister Edi Rama stated, “As previously pledged prior to securing the 83 parliamentary seats for a fourth term of office, the minimum wage is planned to reach 700 euros during our fourth term. This adjustment will apply to both the public and private sectors.

According to the Prime Minister, the minimum wage increase will extend beyond the public administration, with the new legislation mandating that no sector shall have wages below 500 euros.
