Albanian exports grow as export structure shows signs of change

Albania’s exports continue to grow. Their structure is also showing signs of change, Economy and Innovation Minister Delina Ibrahimaj said today.

Exports reached 33.6 billion lekë in July 2026. This marked a 10.6% increase from the same month last year. Exports also grew by 6.7% during the first seven months of the year.

Beyond the figures, Ibrahimaj highlighted changes in the composition of exports.

Construction materials and metals, energy, machinery and equipment are making a stronger contribution to growth. The trend points to a gradual shift toward sectors and products with higher added value.

“The next step is to consolidate this trend: more processing, technology, productivity, Albanian brands and human capital,” Ibrahimaj said.

The government aims to increase exports while creating more value within the Albanian economy.
