The macroeconomic performance of the Albanian economy has been remarkable by both regional and international standards. After a slowdown in 2002, economic growth recovered to about 6 percent in 2003-04; and inflation declined, generally remaining within the 2-4 percent target range of the Bank of Albania. Some structural reforms also gained momentum in 2004-notably privatization and sectoral restructuring.
