Understand the numbers
What Albania's economic profile is telling you
Albania reached about $30.54 billion of nominal GDP in 2025, with real output growth of 3.8%. Inflation was comparatively contained at 2.1%, while the modeled unemployment rate remained in double digits.
Merchandise trade is closely tied to the European market. The European Union took 71.7% of Albania's merchandise exports in 2024, and goods imports were substantially larger than exports.
The main economic signal
The profile combines steady growth with a services-led economy, a sizeable merchandise trade deficit, and close commercial links with the European Union.
Why the definitions matter
Nominal GDP, real growth, CPI inflation, unemployment, sector value added, government debt and merchandise trade measure different things. This page keeps their units, years and sources visible instead of blending them into one synthetic score.
