    Albania's rapid growth in the
    decade up to the 2008 global financial crisis propelled it
    to middle-income status and helped to reduce poverty. The
    global financial crisis in 2008 slammed the brakes on
    Albania's largely domestic-demand-driven growth. The
    government has accumulated sizable arrears in payments for
    public works and value-added tax (VAT) refunds. In a
    baseline scenario of no policy reforms, Albania's

    This sector report claims that in the
    three years between 2002 and 2005 alone, almost 235,000
    people have moved out of poverty in Albania. Strong economic
    growth and large inflow of remittances are at the center of
    this impressive achievement. However, low productivity of
    predominantly small family farms has put a drag on rural
    growth prospects. Moreover, Ndihma Ekonomike (NE) program,
    the means-tested income support program is small in scale,

    This report was prepared in close
    collaboration with the Bank of Albania. This report focused
    on trade, services, and agriculture; however, the limited
    scope of their operations still leaves a potentially large
    unmet demand for credit in agriculture. This report focuses
    on problems related to the operation of Immovable Property
    Registry System (IPRS) and other institutions and the
    formalization of property rights and inscription of

    Recent trends in Albania suggest that it
    has the potential for a modern and competitive agricultural
    sector, provided there is sufficient private investment and

    of agriculture in the economy and the current status of the
    sector, and outlines the implications of modernization and

    This Country Partnership Framework (CPF)
    sets out the World Bank Group (WBG) program for Albania for
    the period FY15-19, aimed at supporting Albanias aspiration
    to achieve equitable growth and integration into the
    European Union. Albania emerged from the collapse of
    isolationist communism in the early 1990s as one of the
    poorest countries in Europe. The country then experienced
    rapid growth of nearly 6 percent per annum, rising into the

    In view of its increasing importance,
    and the dearth of information on return migration and its
    impacts on source households, this study uses data from the
    2005 Albania Living Standards Measurement Study survey and
    assesses the impact of past migration experience of Albanian
    households on non-farm business ownership through
    instrumental variables regression techniques. Moreover,
    considering the differences in earning potentials and

    Albania's radical farmland
    distribution is credited with averting an economic crisis
    and social unrest during the transition. But many believe it
    led to a holding structure too fragmented to be efficient,
    and that public efforts to consolidate plots are needed to
    lay the foundation for greater rural productivity. This
    paper uses farm-level data from the 2005 Albania Living
    Standards Measurement Survey to explore this quantitatively.

    support the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper
    (PRSP). Third, it supports preparation of the Country
    Assistance Strategy (CAS), and the Living Standards

    Despite several attempts at reform,
    immovable property rights in Albania are not adequately
    secure and represent an important governance challenge.
    Problems have resulted from incomplete first title
    registration, the lack of accurate cadastral records, and,
    in many cases, the absence of reliable evidence of
    ownership. Although Albania has adopted legislation calling
    for restitution or compensation for owners whose property
