How large Albania's economy is, how fast it grows and what it is made of
Real output shrank in one year only, 2020, by 3.3%, and grew 9.0% in 2021, the fastest year on record. Growth ran above 5% in most years from 2000 to 2008, then slowed to 1.0% in 2012 before settling near 4% from 2022 onwards. In current dollars GDP stalled around $12 billion to $13 billion from 2008 to 2017 and then more than doubled to $30.5 billion by 2025. For 2026 the IMF projected 3.4%, then 3.2% in each year to 2031. Agriculture, forestry and fishing produced 22.2% of GDP in 2000 and 14.8% in 2025, the smallest share in the series. The services share climbed from 42.1% of GDP in 2000 to 49.7% in 2025. Industry with construction peaked at 28.6% in 2007 but ended at 21.8%, almost where it began, and manufacturing alone was 6.0% in 2025.
