"Unchanged inflation situation in Albania"/ Governor reports on monetary policy

The Governor of the National Bank, Gent Sejko, emphasized today that inflation in Albania has remained unchanged.

This press conference aims to report on monetary policy decision-making in the country.

During his speech, the Governor said that there is a low number of problem loans, this is because there are good interest rates due to the positive approach of banks.

 Regarding monetary policy, Sejko said that the current goal of monetary policy is being achieved.

"In the fourth quarter, inflation remained unchanged.

In 2024, inflation was 2.2%, a year earlier it was 4.8%.

Interest rates have benefited from the positive approach of banks.

The exchange rate has changed, facilitating financing.

It has a low number of non-performing loans, at only 4.2%.

Economic activity is expected to increase, as a result of tourism and investments.

The current goal of monetary policy is being achieved.

The balance is gradually approaching the monetary policy objective," Sejko said./ CNA
