Finance Minister Petrit Malaj attended a high-level panel in Brussels titled “Enlargement and Development: What the Numbers Tell Us.” The event was led by Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos.

During his speech, Malaj highlighted Albania’s steady progress toward convergence with the European Union. He emphasized that the Albanian economy is showing increasingly solid performance.

He explained that above-average economic growth, gradual public debt reduction, rising investment, and structural transformation clearly indicate a more competitive economy. Moreover, these developments strengthen Albania’s resilience against global challenges.

The Minister stressed that these achievements result from deep reforms and a clear development vision. Furthermore, he stated that the “Albania 2030” initiative will continue to advance the country decisively toward European integration.
