DASH report on the business climate in Albania: Government corruption hinders

The US Department of State has published the report on the business climate in Albania for 2025.

The report emphasizes that government corruption hinders investments in Albania.

"The business community reports that the large flow of illicit income from drug trafficking, smuggling, tax evasion and corruption distorts competition in the market. Investors report that they can be targets of extortion by public administration, the media and criminal groups."

"Reports of corruption in government procurement are common, with investors often reporting instances of government corruption that delay and deter investment in Albania," the DASH report states.

It is further noted that the continued use of public-private partnership (PPP) contracts has reduced opportunities for competition, including from foreign investors, in infrastructure and other sectors. Poor analysis and lack of technical expertise in the design and monitoring of PPP contracts are ongoing concerns.

"Some U.S. investors have faced contentious trade disputes with public and private entities, including some that have gone to international arbitration," the State Department report states./ CNA
