Albania
This information comes from the assessment conducted in country for the Albania report, which was published in September 2000.
The Republic of Albania emerged nine years ago from over 44 years of isolation from the world economy and culture. Emerging from its self-imposed cocoon, Albania entered the modern world with only minimal understanding of, and preparation for, democratic government and market economics. The international community was quick to supply aid and technical assistance as the formerly controlled economy fell apart and Albania began to find its way. In the nine years since entering the modern world, the country has made significant progress, but is still a long way from economic and political health and stability.
