The Improvement of the Investment Climate in the country is the new focus of the Albanian Minister of Finance and Economy Mrs. Delina Ibrahimaj. It was first stated by the Minister during the presentation of the White Book of FIAA in October 2021, where the Minister said that the White Book has been consolidated as a “platform” where foreign investors and state authorities discuss together the challenges of doing business in the country and comes as a long way guide, where we will need to improve and cooperate.
As a follow up on the White Book recommendations, the Minister of Finance and Economy, Ms Delina Ibrahimaj, chaired an ad-hoc meeting of the Investment Council to discuss the government’s intervention pillars for the improvement of the business climate in the country, as well as decide on the 2022 IC agenda. During her speech, Minister Ibrahimaj informed that during the last months, MFE has intensively worked on the prioritization of business associations’ recommendations concerning investment’s climate improvements. While emphasizing the pivotal importance of prior consultation with the business community as one of the priorities for the year 2022, Minister Ibrahimaj shared in advance a work calendar related to several areas of interventions and improvements. They include inter- alia by-laws and laws related to fiscalization, income tax, banking, labor and employment, e-commerce and other regulatory areas of improvements as earlier identified by IC and business associations and chambers of commerce. The work calendar was launched as an open invitation to the business community and stakeholders to get involved in the technical working group since the early stages of interventions.
During the open discussion session, the President of FIAA Mr. Alvensleben considered the initiative as highly expected, while expressed the Association support to proactively assist with their expertise as per the relevant areas of intervention and White Book Recommendations.
