According to the head of government, in the last quarter the average salary was 833 euros, while starting from January 2026 the minimum salary will be 500 euros.

Rama said that the pension increase that begins in January is beyond indexation.

The average salary has resulted in 833 euros, which is a significant increase. In a few days, the law on the 500 euro salary will come into force.

Starting in October of this year, pension indexation has been completed. With the start of the new year, the sustainable increase in pensions will begin through a support that will double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple year after year.
