Today, we have a fiscal system that supports economic growth and fights informality, and we are working to align our framework with EU requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Revenues have reached historic levels as a result of reforms, sound administration, and increased fiscal awareness among all Albanian citizens, operators, and taxpayers. For 2026, we are planning over \u20ac1 billion in additional revenues, which translates into more investments.<\/p>\n<p>This growth does not come as a result of increasing taxes or placing a heavier burden on citizens, but rather from better administration. We are making very good progress regarding the Growth Plan. These are objectives agreed upon with the EU, and a significant part of them has been fulfilled ahead of deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>We have also seen increased efficiency in inspections carried out by both the tax administration and the customs administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Finance, Petrit Malaj, held a press conference today where he presented an overview of the country\u2019s economic growth.
