Reflections on 20 years of Albania development - Economicus

by, Adriana Galvani

Abstract

Albania is one of the countries which most had experienced massive changes after the collapse of the regime. Statistically we can say that, greater the political repression, greater the desire of liberty, which has been revealed in a huge movement of migration. Migration had contributed positively, but even negatively both for emigrants and the hosting countries. The major problem has been, at the beginning of migration, the integration into new countries of residence, since emigrants were not used to the liberty of the Western legislation. After years, now their inclusiveness is quite complete, many have obtained foreign citizenship, have bought residences, have sure jobs, and social benefits in their new countries. Probably, now is the moment when a global economic integration is requested, going towards the future, where enterprises must be moved, not people. This is favorized by the Albanian government which imposes to entrepreneurs less taxes than many foreign countries. Help is needed, since old industrialized countries have joined a high level of technology, not permitting to enter the mechanization processes
without evidenced expertise. In services sector, merged companies are needed too, like it is demonstrated by the new advertisement on Albanian Tourism, stimulated by the  creation of new air companies from Italy, which are now magnifying the natural beauty of Albanian beaches, in coordination with Albanian hotels and building industries, at the opposite of previous views, when these coasts had been deemed as inhospitable.
