The government has planned a smaller budget and reduced expenses for several other programs, among them the four basic public health programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the last Budget Plan, the e-Government or the National Agency of the Information Society has marked an increase in expenditure of 2.2 billion additional ALL or 37% more than previously. Both programs are, apparently, in need of emergency intervention after the escalated risk of hacking, and the need for better security for e-Albania data and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Development Projects or the Albanian Development Fund were subject to a 1.9 billion ALL budget extention, or 16% &nbsp;budget increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Finance and Economy budget for the \u201cExecution of Miscellaneous Payments\u201d Program also increased by 1.82 billion ALL. The latter is due to the additional costs incurred in the Budget, after the Government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/ndiqparate.al\/?p=17522\">decision<\/a> to &nbsp;financially compensate the rise in the prices of the construction materials, based on the stipulations in the contracts for public works, as a result of the special situation created in the market during 2022. To this end, the Government approved Normative Act No. 10 in May and estimated applications for Financial Compensation from public contractors were expected to be accompanied by additional Budgetary expenditures throughout 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Housing is another budget program with additional expenditures of 1.72 billion ALL. Likewise, Road Transport has a budget supplement, as does Water Supply and Sewerage. All above mentioned programs are currently under the responsibility of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basic education, including pre-school, underwent an increase in expenditure by 1 billion ALL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"730\" height=\"450\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vSEnaC-5jOgrB1gTIvFla1bPjjoGTlM2L0wpczLMCacMdLeALK49b-ZhfSzM8c46P30Gvp5MYiFTQMt\/pubchart?oid=116198862&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><small><br>\nComments and Analyses: Open Data Albania <\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"642\" height=\"397\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vSEnaC-5jOgrB1gTIvFla1bPjjoGTlM2L0wpczLMCacMdLeALK49b-ZhfSzM8c46P30Gvp5MYiFTQMt\/pubchart?oid=576879599&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><small><br>\nComments and Analyses: Open Data Albania <\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programs that have suffered a reduction in the Budget Expenditure Plan are Social Security and all four programs of the Public Health Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Health Insurance Scheme has improved the income plan after the Government&#8217;s decision to increase the minimum wage, resulting in an increase in the amount of social contributions paid by the employer and the employee. That is why the enlarged funds were saved in the institution\u2019s budget, reducing the Expenditure item by 4.78 billion ALL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health, on the other hand, has undergone a contraction of about 2 billion ALL, with each program suffering its own diminuition, namely Public Health Services by 14%, Primary Care Services by 10%, Secondary Care Service by 1% and the National Emergency Service with a more modest shrinkage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to health, INSTAT suffered a decline by 42% of the previous expenses planned for the Statistical Program. Such contraction calls into question the Census process that is expected to be held later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"722\" height=\"438\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vSEnaC-5jOgrB1gTIvFla1bPjjoGTlM2L0wpczLMCacMdLeALK49b-ZhfSzM8c46P30Gvp5MYiFTQMt\/pubchart?oid=874047639&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><small><br>\nComments and Analyses: Open Data Albania <\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"649\" height=\"402\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vSEnaC-5jOgrB1gTIvFla1bPjjoGTlM2L0wpczLMCacMdLeALK49b-ZhfSzM8c46P30Gvp5MYiFTQMt\/pubchart?oid=1944782813&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><small><br>\nComments and Analyses: Open Data Albania <\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall expenditures for budgetary institutions have increased by about 3.1 billion ALL or an additional 1% compared to previous expenses.
