Albania Investment Council/Këshilli i Investimeve

The Investment Council presents its semi-annual report on 367 recommendations since 2015. Progress was positive, with tangible results mainly through legislative changes. Full effects will be monitored as implementation continues.

Albania’s economy remained resilient in the first half of 2026, with GDP growing 3.7%, supported by services, public administration, stable inflation, & continued growth in credit & FDI. Reducing the trade deficit, strengthening industry, & diversifying FDI remain key priorities.

We are pleased to present our 2025 Activity Report, highlighting key activities, consultations, recommendations and progress in strengthening public–private dialogue and supporting evidence-based reforms. Thank you to all our members for their continued collaboration and support.
