TIRANA, Feb 26 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama made a direct appeal to foreign investors to pick Albania for their investments as he addressed the Western Balkans Investment Summit hosted by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development via a video call on Monday.
The Western Balkans Investment Summit 2024 will be held at the EBRD HQ in London brought together all top government officials from the region.
In his address, the Albanian Premier listed the reasons why investors must choose Albania for their investments.
PM Rama underlined that Albania has changed a great deal.
“Why not? Albania has changed a lot from a country stigmatized as unsafe to a country that has hosted more than 10 million tourists, almost three times higher than its own population. Albania has now diversified its energy sources. The electricity price remained unchanged during the crisis and is the lowest in the region. The country’s public debt fell to a record low of 59.2 % in 2023. The question is why serious investors should invest their money in Albania? And the answer is very simple: because someone else would do that instead of them,” he said.
Government representatives from six Western Balkan countries, the President of the European Council Charles Michel, and the European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, Olivér Várhelyi, attended the sixth EBRD Summit on the Western Balkans.
