Prime Minister Edi Rama declared in his podcast 'Flasim' that there has been a historic increase in budget revenues. The Prime Minister emphasized that according to projections, during this period, an additional 1 billion euros in revenue is expected to be collected.
According to him, the revenues that have reached new levels are precisely the result of a much more efficient administration and significantly less corruption and abuse.
"This week has also been characterized by another encouraging balance: the increase in budget revenues to an absolutely historic level. An important indicator of the stage where the Albanian economy is today, a meaningful reflection of its strengthening. Contrary to all those who preach the rise of corruption and the increase in abuse, the economy proves that it grows precisely because corruption decreases and abuses diminish, because these two cannot coexist otherwise.
The revenues that have reached new levels are precisely the result of a much more efficient administration, with much less corruption and abuse, a characteristic of the severe inherited disease from the past, which we have fought and will continue to fight day by day. According to projections, in the period we are going through, over 1 billion euros in additional revenue is expected to be collected, and not from tax increases, because we have not raised taxes, but from the growth of the economy and, certainly, also from the improvement in the quality of tax and customs administration, the increase in the quality of control regarding transactions at the business level, between business and consumer and business to business, as well as the increase in fiscal awareness.
We are in a position where we can share with those who have supported us and elected us this important moment, telling them that their vote is valuable and appreciated every day, in every step, in every sector, and this increase in revenue is a very meaningful example," said Rama.
