AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Investment: Albania is preparing a deal allowing direct government contracts with Israeli firms in energy, cybersecurity, water, agriculture, healthcare and technology; no specific projects have been announced. EU Integration: Albania’s next accession conference is set to advance Chapter 20 on enterprise and industrial policy, with provisional closure expected. Business Costs: Tirana’s Chamber of Commerce wants agro-processing VAT cut to 5–7%, customs duties removed on manufacturing inputs and faster tax depreciation for machinery to ease costs and encourage investment. Manufacturing: The sector is reported to have lost 25,000 jobs, with 150 garment factories shut. Industrial Pollution: In Elbasan, inspectors found 318 tonnes of toxic dust stored at a chrome factory without safe-disposal contracts; the site was temporarily closed, renewing concern over industrial contamination and oversight.
