Staff representatives from the IMF visited Albania to co-host the Albanian Financial Forum (AFF) with the Bank of Albania, on April 8, 2013. During the visit, they took the opportunity—as is customarily done—to meet with government officials, political party representatives and the private sector, including Prime Minister Berisha and Mr. Rama. In the meetings, staff provided a briefing on the AFF and discussed economic prospects and challenges facing the Albanian economy. There was no discussion—neither with government officials nor with Mr. Rama—of IMF financial support nor, of course, of any conditions that might accompany such support. Staff reiterated IMF willingness to assist the Albanian economy, if and when requested by the authorities, through financial support and technical assistance. Tiranë, 25 prill, 2013 click for more
