In this report, it notes that the Albanian administration continues to face considerable challenges, while there are continuing concerns on the part of the United States. In the latest report by the U.S. State Department for 2025, Albania is described as a country with several problems in the field of investment and rule of law that affect the overall business climate.

The document says that the main challenges damaging the business environment include widespread corruption, a weak judicial system, lack of transparency in public procurements, as well as large presence of informal economy and money laundering, especially with resources from drug trafficking, reports TopChannel, broadcast Periscope.
