Finance Minister Petrit Malaj announced today that alongside the preparation of the 2026 draft budget, the Fiscal Package has also been prepared. The package includes several legal changes, but it does not raise or introduce new taxes.

“We will not increase taxes, and we will not introduce new ones,” Malaj said. He added that the changes aim not only to increase state revenue but also to support businesses, farmers, and citizens.

The minister highlighted some of the main policies included in the 2026 Fiscal Package.

“The farmers’ scheme will compensate VAT at a 10% rate, leaving about 1.5 billion lek in farmers’ hands per year. The revaluation of real estate will apply a 5% rate throughout 2026. We will implement the ‘Fiscal Peace’ reform, which aims to build a new trust-based relationship between business and the state,” Malaj said.

According to Malaj, these measures aim to strengthen economic stability and create better conditions for private sector and agricultural development in the country.
