Prime Minister Rama has stated that the government has decided to give more money to small business and families in need in these difficult times of coronavirus.
Through a message on the social network, Rama took as an example the case of a self-employed family through a family business.
Rama: Today I gave my approval for the payment of the monthly payment for those who have the biggest problem, employed or self-employed, families living with economic assistance, or unemployed. The amount of declared monthly salaries is 731 million ALL from small business. But often the only declared salary is that of the head of the family at the minimum wage, the shortest path would be, we agree we are giving the head of the family the salary declared by himself and we are fine with the salary register declared by the small business , 710 million ALL. But there is a beautiful expression of the people, it belongs to them by law and custom, we know that there are many self-employed families, where the head of the family declares his salary, but declares his wife employed without salary.
Good law, yes habit. We are a big family. We cannot suffice with the arithmetic of number. We will go beyond this number, so that all the family cells of this country, which are not functioning so as not to be missed, not all that they have in times of peace, but what we can do. We will also give the wife of that head of the family, the war salary. In this way, every person registered with or without a salary as a self-employed person from the family, will receive a war salary and the amount of 710 million new lekë declared by those who have closed the business will become 1.57 billion new lekë, we will give twice the stated amount. Compensating all employees or self-employed in a small business who do not work due to the war. 60440 people are the ones we will not leave alone.
The Prime Minister further stated that the government will give twice the money it gives per month to families in need.
Rama: Also, the amount that the Albanian state pays in peacetime for economic assistance is 340 million ALL per month. We know that in those families who are really in need during the time of peace, someone comes out and does some work for you, so for us to be okay, we will distribute to these families twice the money we share for these families, over 40 a thousand such.
