Finance Minister Petrit Malaj announced that the government approved the year-end Normative Act. This act introduces several changes to the 2025 budget.

Malaj said the act focuses on financial support for vulnerable groups. It targets families receiving economic assistance, people with disabilities, and their caregivers.

“We will grant 15,000 lek, roughly 150 euros, to each beneficiary. A total of 148,500 citizens will benefit. The total fund reaches 2.2 billion lek,” Malaj explained.

The government aims to ease the economic burden on sensitive groups. This support comes as living costs rise toward the year-end.

Moreover, Malaj highlighted a key government decision about unspent funds in ministries and budget institutions.

He said that institutions must transfer any unspent funds to a special pension fund at the Bank of Albania.

“Based on preliminary estimates, we expect to transfer at least 150 million euros. We will use this sum for the Pension Reform,” Malaj added.
