Deputy PM Bytyqi says pensions to rise

Deputy PM Bytyqi says pensions to rise
Skopje, 14 February 2022 (MIA) – Deputy PM for Economic Affairs Fatmir Bytyqi says model used to ensure higher pensions will be changed, since the current one fails to provide a decent increase. Deputy PM Bytyqi told TV24 that the Government’s Economic Council has discussed the issue. “A solution can be reached only through constructive dialogue. We have ensured a rise of the minimum wage in the coming years and the same goes for pensions. We also discussed the model that would maintain the stability and sustainability of the pension fund. I am not a person who uses percentages or solutions that lack proper analysis. There will be predictability up to 2026. We want solutions that ensure a decent life. The pension fund has stable revenues and can ensure higher pensions,” says Bytyqi.
