Rama: With the new reform, we have placed contributions at the center!
At the international conference on pension system reform in Albania, Prime Minister Edi Rama said:
"One of the points we need to resolve is how to mitigate the gap between the pensions of those who retired before 2014 and those after 2014. The difference is that with the new reform we have placed contributions at the center. Whereas before it was not a contributory system but an assistance system and this has caused the whole big wound which is closing but we still have those who suffer from this wound.
We will move in parallel on the one hand with the bonuses that have increased significantly, in terms of quantity and time of their granting and we have linked these bonuses to economic growth and the performance of the economy. We want these bonuses to continue, while in parallel by re-intervening in the pension system we want to make a re-acceleration without in any way destroying the foundations of the system. And we also still have considerable space in the fight against wage informality.
