The government presented on the eve of the local elections an ambitious plan to increase the salaries of budget employees, which started in April 2023 and will continue in the next two years, with the aim of doubling them by 2025.
The January-July budget bill for public sector salaries was about ALL 55 billion with an annual increase of 15%. The increase came mainly from the measures that were taken to double the salaries at the top levels of management, the President, deputies and ministers and a limited category of specialist doctors.

Paga e Ministrave u rrit, pas zgjedhjeve vendore të prillit me 82%, duke shkuar në 310,250 lekë në muaj nga 174,760 lekë që është aktualisht. Rritje me mbi 72% shënoi edhe paga e kryeministrit dhe Kryetarit të Kuvendit, ndërsa paga më e lartë në vend, ajo e Presidentit, që është në krye të hierarkisë së pagave, arriti me 425.000 lekë nga 257, 000 lekë që është aktualisht me rritje 65%.
Por nga ana tjetër, trupa më e madhe e administratës përfitoi nga 1 prilli i këtij vetëm 7% rritje. Praktikisht, rritja reale e pagave të tyre është zero për qind pasi rritja është vetëm një indeksim me inflacionin i cili vitin e kaluar ishte 6.7%.
As the countries of the region continued the reforms of salary increases for ordinary employees this year as well, Albania is ranked as the country with the highest salaries of public officials and with the lowest salaries of personnel in basic public services, education, health and order./ Monitor
