Prime Minister Edi Rama announced a few days ago that the 2026 Budget will include an increase in pensions, but not only that.
This morning on "Time to Wake Up", expert Kujtim Hoxha explained the scheme of how it will be implemented and the impact it will have on the lives of pensioners.
"The year-end bonus will be distributed proportionally for each month in 2026. The bonus is an income that goes into the pockets of retirees, but the method of distribution and what is promoted as an increase is simply a facade.
According to interest groups, they are divided into full pensions, disability and family pensions.
To draw a conclusion about what pensioners benefit from.
Full pensions in rural areas will benefit 1 thousand lek, disability 600 lek, family pensions 700 lek.
"This overall brings in less income than the year-end bonus," he said.
