Prime Minister Edi Rama presented the expanded package of measures. Rama said the financial aid of the expanded package is worth $70 million for 176,000 beneficiaries. Payments to beneficiaries will begin to be disbursed starting April 20.<\/p>\n
According to Rama, 10,000 tourism employees will benefit from a 40,000 lek aid, 66,000 employees in large businesses will receive 40,000 lek aid, and 100,000 employees in small businesses will also receive aid. This aid will be given only once.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first package helped alleviate the pain of those immediately affected. 123,000 families received doubled economic assistance, small businesses were granted aid that continues to be provided daily from taxes, and pensioners had their pensions indexed.<\/em><\/p>\n Today, after having followed the dynamics of aid, it is time to expand it, as many others have been directly affected and require assistance. As we speak, this expanded package will add another 176,000 individuals and families. We will provide all of them with the financial means to cope with this 40-day period until the end of May. We expect the curve to drop by the end of May, allowing a return to work under strict conditions. On May 20th and 25th, we will be ready with a third package to assist those who will have no income from work. Therefore, assistance will be provided until the end of May.<\/em><\/p>\n Categories that benefit:<\/em><\/p>\n
