Year-end bonus/Rama: 15,000 ALL bonus for pensions up to 20,000 ALL!
Prime Minister Edi Rama announced today in the Parliament of Albania, that in the following days, the government will release a fund of 100 million euros for the year-end bonus.
Rama started the presentation of the 2025 draft budget by announcing that this bonus will be divided into two levels: "All pensioners who have a pension up to 20,000 lek or 200 euros will receive three times the previous bonus, a new bonus of 150 euros . Meanwhile, pensioners who have a pension greater than 20,000 ALL will receive double the bonus of the previous years, through a bonus of 100 euros", said Rama.
"This difference between the first and the second is not made to give less to those who have a higher pension, but to give more to those who have a lower pension", he said.
