He emphasized that the public debt in the country has dropped below 60% for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe region is changing, the world is changing, Albania has changed. From a country with the stigma of insecurity to a country that achieved a figure of 10 million tourists last year. The difference from 10 years ago is that our resources are diversifying with solar and wind energy. Our system, which was almost collapsing because the majority of the population did not pay the bill, now has a different outlook. The price of electricity has not changed even in times of crisis, while public debt has reached a historic level, below 60%,\u201d stated Rama.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized that Albania, along with other countries in the region, is a favorable destination for serious investments. In response to the question of why investors should invest in Albania, Rama said, \u201cOne simple answer is: They should because if they don\u2019t, someone else will\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is the sixth summit of its kind that the EBRD organizes, and the Western Balkans remain a priority region for the EBRD.
