Ibrahimaj said that, “The Normative Act aims to reallocate additional revenues beyond the end-of-year forecast of 18.2 billion Lekë, reaching the level of 507,727 million Lekë or the highest historical figure, both in absolute terms and in relation to Gross Domestic Production”.

The minister said that the economic growth expected for 2021 is beyond any domestic or foreign forecast, about 7.8% at the end of the year, a broad-based economic growth, which includes all sectors of the economy.

Ibrahimaj stressed that, “The main sources of growth which allowed Albania to be the first country in the region to reach the level of pre-crisis GDP are: extractive industry, which has grown by 15.4%; processing industry by 9.8%; wholesale and retail trade by 7.6%; transport and storage by 23.2%; accommodation and food by 28.2%; financial and reinsurance activities by 11.8%; construction by 10.3%, while almost all other sectors of the economy marked an increase compared with last year”./ j.p /p.s./
