Albania won’t have the fastest growth rate in the region: World Bank report

Unlike all other international institutions, the World Bank seems to have a completely different attitude regarding the economic growth of the region.

Recent projections, published by the Washington-based institution in a special report, show that Albania will not be the country with the fastest growth in the region, neither this year nor the next, nor in 2019.

In this way, the World Bank has a different attitude from that of the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund and other institutions in this regard.

The data for the current year show that Albania is the third in the list, behind Montenegro and Kosovo, with a projected growth rate of 3.6%.

As for next year, Albania is the second on the list, right after Kosovo.

As far as 2019 is concerned, meanwhile, Albania shares the third spot along with two other states; Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Meanwhile, Kosovo and Macedonia are projected to have an economic growth of 4 and 3.9% respectively.

For the next two years, Kosovo is projected as the fastest growing economy in the region.

However, by averaging the three years, it turns out that Albania has the most stable performance and is second behind Kosovo in terms of economic growth.
