AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Western Balkans Energy Push: The US is backing new gas routes across the region to cut reliance on Russian supply, with Albania being lined up for a possible LNG terminal and a gas-fired power plant in Vlora that could also serve Kosovo, North Macedonia and Montenegro—though experts warn infrastructure alone won’t fix the need for long-term supply contracts. Trade Momentum: Albania’s exports jumped in April to 34.9bn lek (+16.9% y/y), while imports rose more slowly to 79bn lek (+4.4%), shrinking the trade deficit to 44.1bn lek. EU Reform Funding: Albania received €49m from the EU’s Western Balkans reform package, tied to 12 steps including business climate, digital transformation, the green agenda, energy transition and rule of law. Public Debate & Media: An OSCE ambassador highlighted how Albania’s media community is vital for public discourse as information spaces fragment under AI and algorithm-driven manipulation. Energy Resilience: Albania’s hydropower-heavy system is again cited as a buffer against the Middle East-driven energy shock, while the Bank of Albania keeps its key rate at 2.5% and expects any inflation pressure to be temporary. Saranda Crackdown: Police oversight actions continue to target alleged illegal coastal construction and suspected abuse of office, with the Interior Minister promising “zero tolerance.”
