Albania’s Business Environment is now available from GMB Publishing.

“Albania’s record since it embarked on its transition in the early 1990s has been impressive. The country has successfully built the foundations of market-based economy, created democratic institutions and gradually built capacity in the public administration to cope with political and economic transformation. These efforts have resulted in a track record of macroeconomic stability, as well as achievement of the fastest rates of GDP growth in South Eastern Europe.”
– World Bank (from the Foreword).

Published 20 February 2009, this is the first authoritative guide to the prospects for business and investment in Albania. It shows how this small European state is opening up for business having recently strengthened its ties with the EU through a Stabilization and Association Agreement. Macroeconomic performance has improved sharply in recent years, thanks to policies under IMF-backed programmes, prompting new interest from the international business community.

Albania’s Business Environment provides invaluable insight into the rules of business engagement, by providing an objective asssessment of the economic and business climate, as well as a clear explanation of the legal and regulatory framework covering:
Չcommercial law from establishing a business to insolvency, and addressing corporate governance, property and real estate law and environmental law and many other areas – from leading law firm Kalo & Associates;
Չbanking – from Raiffeisen Bank Albania; and
Չtaxation and accounting and auditing practices – from international tax advisory firm Deloitte.
