Finance Report, ALL 18.7 billion in claims from the decline in employment and the postponement of profit tax

The reduction of staff and the postponement of profit tax for businesses in the country have cost the state treasury over 18 billion ALL losses. Administrative data report a large loss of jobs during the pandemic, namely in the period January-November over 50 thousand citizens remained unemployed.
