Reviving Albania’s economic growth through Roma inclusion - Economicus

by, Prof. Assoc. Dr. Selami Xhepa

Abstract

The purpose of this policy paper is to review the economic conditions related to economic growth after the pandemic of COVID 19 in Albania and policies that could improve such prospects through inclusive policies and better integration of Roma communities. The numerous negative shocks that happened since the global financial crisis of 2008, have caused major changes in the fundamentals of growth and development. Fiscal imbalances, labor market and demographic trends have worsened, posing major challenges to a return of the economy at growth rates needed for achieving convergence with developed economies.
