Two days after the International Monetary Fund approved in Washington
the conclusion of a three-year agreement with Albania, the Minister of
Finances, Arben Ahmetaj, said it was a success for the economy.
“The successful conclusion of the IMF agreement confirmed that the government reforms in these three years and a half were successful. Today we have a proved economic growth of 3.4%, and this year it may go to even 3.7%”, Ahmetaj said.
But the conclusion of this agreement doesn’t mean that the IMF will leave Albania.
“We will keep cooperating with the IMF, even during the electoral period, even after the elections. The Rama 2 government has a new program with the IMF”, Ahmetaj said.
He added that the government will continue the economic reforms, and he accused the opposition of damaging the economy.
“Any kind of political tension damages the country and the economy. I trust the citizens’ maturity, and I trust the government’s and alliance determination to continue the reforms”, the Minister declared.
