      Economy Albania

      Economy - overview:

       Poor and backward by European standards, Albania is making the

       difficult transition to a more modern open-market economy. The

       government has taken measures to curb violent crime and to spur

       economic activity and trade. The economy is bolstered by remittances

       from abroad of $400-$600 million annually, mostly from Greece and

       Italy; this helps offset the sizable trade deficit. Agriculture,

       which accounts for one-half of GDP, is held back because of frequent

       drought and the need to modernize equipment and consolidate small

       plots of land. Severe energy shortages and antiquated and inadequate

       infrastructure make it difficult to attract and sustain foreign

       investment. The government plans to boost energy imports to relieve

       the shortages and is moving slowly to improve the poor national road

       and rail network, a long-standing barrier to sustained economic

       growth.
