Employed in the budget sector 2016

Open Data Albania has updated data on the number of employees to be employed in the budgetary institutions in 2016. The data are extracted from the accompanying tables of the law on the state budget 2016. Budgetary Institutions are ministries, directories under direct subordination and independent and constitutional institutions. Their salaries are covered by the state budget.

During 2011-2014, the number of budgetary employees has been shrinking. In 2015, the trend of the public employee?s employment changed compared to the previous years and 2200 new employees were added to the state administration. This upward trend will not continue in 2016. The approved law on the state budget 2016, provides for that the total number of employees in this sector will be 81,147, about 7,403  less than in 2015.

In 2016, the budgetary sector will have the lowest number of employees compared with 2011-2015. However, based on the budget report, this sharp decline does not mean reduction of the administration, but transfer of some powers from the central to the local government.
