Although the government reviewed the macro-economic indicators, the
Minister of Economic Development, Arben Ahmetaj, said that the economy
is progressing faster than expected. The economic growth is even higher
than what was foreseen by the IMF, according to the Minister.

He added that tourism will influence the economic growth a lot, since it has reached record levels.

“For the first time Albania was unable to deal with the demand coming from tourist operators from the entire world. The problems with the energy were not new. They have been seen for the past 15-20 years. Certainly, we have seen this year less problems than before”, Ahmetaj declared.

Ahmetaj said that the Parliament will pass in September the law that the President rejected. As for the opposition’s accusations regarding tax evasion and corruption, the Minister voted a review of the budget.
