On the meeting of the Governor of the Bank of Albania, Mr. Ardian Fullani with the Deputy Minister for Economic Development of the Republic of Italy, Mr. Adolfo Urso

On October 14, 2009 the Governor of the Bank of Albania, Mr. Ardian Fullani, carried out a meeting with the Deputy Minister for Economic Development of the Republic of Italy, Mr. Adolfo Urso, who was heading a delegation composed by representatives of different Italian companies that participated in the Fiera del Levante Exhibition organised in Tirana on October 14 - 17, 2009.

The Governor made an overall description of the main developments of the Albanian economy and the country’s macroeconomic performance. Mr. Fullani acquainted the Italian delegation with concrete measures taken recently by the Bank of Albania in the framework of maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability at home and the work it has done to minimise the global crisis effects, thus impacting on stable performance of the economy and establishment of a positive business climate.

The Deputy Minister Urso expressed his appreciation of the reforms carried out by Albania, which has recently made strong and consolidated steps in many directions, where undoubtedly a special contribution has been rendered by the Bank of Albania, as the monetary authority of the country, pursuing prudential and visionary policies.

Availing of the opportunity, the Governor Fullani asked Italian investors to continue their support and investments in Albania, which offers a powerful potential, with still-unexploited natural resources, qualified human capital and modern development infrastructure.
