Albania and Singapore may overcome the distance’s obstacle exploiting the advantages provided by both countries’ economies. Two countries commercial exchanges increased during 2016, but remain still distant from the real potentials. This was the essence of Prime Minister, Edi Rama speech on Thursday during the speech in the Trade and Investment Forum.

“We came here with the certitude that geographic barriers can no longer serve as justification. On the other side I am more than sure that this is the best time to invest in Albania. Albania ranked at 56th place in “Doing Business” index last year, making a 32 places leap within only a year,” said the chief of executive, adding that a new model of development, based not on consumption but the investments and exports and the deep reforms’ agenda generated a favorable clime for investments.

He underlined the fact that foreign investments play a key role for Albania’s steady economic development, on view of the fact that his executive aim to end the model of economic growth based on debt increase.
