Baby bonus, 148 million euros in four years, almost half for those who live

Last year, out of 42,740 babies benefiting from the bonus, about 46% of them were born outside Albania. This is according to the data of the Monitoring report of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.

In total for 2023, the fund distributed for 2023 was about 33 million euros.

"The funds available for the baby bonus for 2023 are 3,305,516 thousand ALL. These funds cover payments for 42,740 births during 2023 (22,992 births within the country and 19,748 births abroad)", says the monitoring report published by the Ministry of Health.

Even for 2022, out of 42,504 bonus beneficiaries, about 43% of them were for foreign births. The funds available for the baby bonus for 2022 (corrected) are 3,100,000 thousand ALL. These funds cover payments to mothers who gave birth to 42,504 babies (24,337 births within the country and 18,167 births abroad) for the year 2022 according to official data.

For 2021, about 38% of beneficiaries were born abroad. According to official data, the funds available for the baby bonus for 2021 were 3,303,110 thousand ALL. These funds covered payments to mothers who gave birth to 43,441 babies (26,990 births within the country and 16,451 births abroad) during 2021.

Due to the high number of newborn beneficiaries abroad, last year the government changed the social policies for the distribution of the baby bonus, a program that has been implemented since 2019.

According to the changes in the law "On an addition and an amendment to the Law No. 57/2019 "On Social Assistance in the Republic of Albania" approved by the Parliament of Albania in October 2023, newborns who are not residents of Albania were excluded from the benefit.

148 million euros were given in four years

In total, from 2019 to 2023, according to the data of the monitoring reports published by the Ministry of Health, about 14.8 billion ALL or 148 million euros have been distributed for the baby bonus program.

The "Baby Bonus" program supports families by directly giving a check drawn by the mother, with the value of 40,000 Lek for the first child, 80,000 Lek for the second child and 120,000 Lek for the third child.
