TIRANA, March 3 /ATA/ – Albania’s economic sentiment index (ESI) increased by 0.9 percentage points in February after two consecutive months of decline, at around seven percentage points above the long-term average, the Bank of Albania said in its latest report.
Central bank said in its monthly business and consumer confidence survey that the increase was driven by stronger confidence in industry, trade, and consumer sentiment, though construction and services saw declines.
“The higher ESI in this month stemmed from the enhanced confidence in industry, construction and among consumers. On the other hand, confidence across the sectors of industry and services turned down,” Bank of Albania said.
