The hemorrhaging of the mass departure of Albanians to European countries has significantly increased the costs of production companies, due to the increase in wages.
Salary increases in different sectors range from 70% to doubling.

Erjon Harizi, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Builders of Albania, said that in the last 4 years, the lack of labor has increased the costs of construction companies by 40%.
In addition to costs from the workshop, builders will be charged with more fiscal burden for the payments of the tax on the impact on the infrastructure and the tax of 3% of the contribution to the social shelter.
For these reasons, the Association of Builders earlier warned that the prices of new housing will increase from 150 to 300 euros per square meter.
The increase in salaries for joiners from 80,000 to the level of 120,000 lek per month, according to one of the furniture manufacturing companies "Trin Mobileri", has increased the cost of production by 25%.
The head of the company, Dritan Cacaj, said that for this reason, furniture prices have increased by 15%.
While the prices of raw materials have normalized, returning to the levels before the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the increase in prices, the demand for furniture remains high.
Bread and pastry producers unanimously affirm that the risk to their exit towards the free market of electricity supply, the price of flour and other raw material components, as well as the cost increase from the increase in wages due to the lack of workers , is expected to bring higher prices of dough products.
"I think bread will become more expensive due to high production costs.
"Compared to the region and other neighboring countries such as Italy, the price of bread is sold at a cheaper price," claimed the bakery "George Bush Bakery".
Even from "Caka Group" they say that the price increase for all types of bread remains inevitable, due to the increased costs of energy, the supply of raw materials and the lack of labor.

The 14% price increase was influenced by the increase in the price of bread flour from 50 ALL to 55 ALL in August (10% increase). In the middle of March 2022, the price of bread increased again by 20%, reaching 100 Lek per piece, due to the increase in the price of flour.
