AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoInfrastructure and Agriculture: Albania’s proposed 2027 budget sets aside about €750 million for roads, ports and water projects, including widening the Tirana–Durrës motorway and developing Porto Romano port. Agriculture would receive 17.9 billion lek, including 5.3 billion for farmer support. Business Taxes: The proposed fiscal package would lower the VAT registration threshold from 10 million to 5 million lek and raise the standard rate to 21%. Business representatives warn the changes could increase costs and weaken investment. Green Cities: New concessional financing from the Green Climate Fund doubles support for the EBRD’s Green Cities programme to €174 million, which is available to Albanian cities and utilities for projects including transport, renewable energy, water and waste systems. Market Signals: Bank of Albania data show confidence rose in industry and services in October, but manufacturers reported fewer export orders; confidence fell in construction and trade. Telecoms: Albania’s telecom regulator approved consumer protections taking effect in 2027, including limits on automatic price increases, and authorised a trial of satellite-to-mobile services.
