Former deputy minister of Rama\u2019s 2nd<\/sup>-term cabinet, Elton Haxhi, spoke on Euronews Albania about what he called, the prime minister\u2019s \u201cunrealistic promises\u201d to cut debt and taxes while increasing wages.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet him give us the missing piece; the element that\u2019s missing from his equation to cut back on debt,\u2019 \u2013 commented Haxhi, following Rama\u2019s declaration during Wednesday\u2019s plenum, that he will be making drastic cuts to the public debt.<\/p>\n

According to Haxhi, tax cuts and cuts to the public debt don\u2019t correspond. There\u2019s a missing third element that would make these two promises attainable, and according to the former deputy minister, this approach is simply unrealistic.<\/p>\n

During the presentation of his third-term government program, Rama vowed to increase the gross average monthly wage by a gradual 25% until the end of his 4-year term.<\/p>\n

Accroding to Rama, this will be possible through the annual economic growth that he expects to be around 4.5% per year.<\/p>\n
