Government Receives More Funds

Government Receives More Funds

The Special Anti-Corruption and Organized Crime Structure (SPAK) and the Bureau of Investigation will be operational in 2020, according to the draft law for next year which allocates a fund of 371 million lekë for the SPAK.

The government has also outlined an increase in investment into both the High Council of Prosecution and the High Judicial Court.

The project budget foresees that the High Judicial Court will be given 3.4 billion lekë. There will also be a surcharge for central state institutions.

The Presidency, Prime Ministry and Parliament are also expected to receive more money for next year.

The Prime Ministry is set to receive the largest piece of the cake, with provisions for up to 1 billion lekë next year up from 637 million.

Despite discussions as to whether or not snap elections should be held, no special fund for this purpose has been foreseen for 2020.

The 2020 draft does not foresee any increase in salaries for citizens, with the fund envisaged for pensioners being only a 2.5 billion lekë, which is increased only by legal obligation to cover for inflation.
