Ljubljana – The parliamentary Labour Committee is discussing the eighth economic stimulus bill, worth around EUR 320 million. Labour Minister Janez Cigler Kralj said that with the bill, the government wanted to find the middle ground with social partners by taking into account their proposals as much as possible.
He said that just like the previous seven economic stimulus laws, this one will preserve jobs and help businesses; he pointed to the extension of the furlough scheme, the government shouldering part of the minimum wage rise, and measures to help the elderly recover from Covid-19.
The furlough scheme, which has been in place since last spring, will be extended until the end of April, with the option of another two one-month extensions.
