AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Property Tax Push: Albania’s cities and towns collected nearly 4.7bn lek in property tax by end of May, up from about 3.9bn lek last year, with Tirana taking almost half; officials say better online building records could boost collections further, and from 2029 bills are set to be based on real value. EU Protected Areas Debate: The opposition asked parliament to debate EU concerns over building in protected natural areas, focusing on the Vjosa-Narta coastal zone and a luxury project that critics say could threaten habitats and endanger EU accession progress. Digital Banking Milestone: Jet Bank officially launched as Albania’s first 100% digital bank after receiving its full license in March, starting a gradual rollout for waiting-list customers. Protests Over Kushner-Linked Resort: Opposition to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s luxury resort plans has widened into anti-government protests in Tirana, with tens of thousands demanding PM Edi Rama’s resignation and citing corruption and transparency fears. Rama Meets Macron: PM Rama is in Paris for talks with President Emmanuel Macron, expected to cover EU membership and French investment. Aviation Tender: Gjirokastra Airport is set for a new tender, with the airport planned as a tourist and seasonal route to revive civil aviation in the south. Economy Outlook: World Bank projections point to growth of 3.4% now, then 3.7% in 2027, citing global uncertainty, energy costs, and Middle East tensions. EU Trust Survey: A WeBalkans poll finds high EU support in Albania (82% positive image; 92% trust), with Serbia the main outlier.
