• Approve the “Data Point Model” project

The “Data Point Model” project aims to modernize the data management architecture of the central bank by enhancing the collection, storage, processing, and dissemination of statistical information through the use of an advanced technological platform in cooperation with the Bank of Italy (Banca d’Italia). This project contributes to the consolidation of an integrated, secure, and standardized data infrastructure, in line with European best practices.

Within the framework of the European integration process, the implementation of the project directly supports the institutional, methodological, and technical alignment of the Bank of Albania with the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), facilitates the harmonisation of statistical and supervisory information with European reporting standards, and strengthens the analytical and decision-making capacities of the institution.

The Supervisory Council was also briefed on daily functional and operational activities of the Bank of Albania.
