Albania sovereign credit rating status

Overview

Standard & Poor’s (S&P) has reaffirmed Albania’s long-term credit rating at ‘BB’ with a ‘stable’ outlook. The assessment follows a similar positive assessment by Moody’s, reflecting international confidence in the nation's economic trajectory.

Key drivers for the rating include economic resilience, fiscal discipline, and a declining public debt, which is projected to drop from 52.9% of GDP in 2025 to 50.5% by 2029. Albania has maintained a primary surplus since 2023, and foreign exchange reserves reached 8.1 billion euros as of late July 2026. Economic growth for 2026 is expected to be approximately 3.4%, supported by investment, private consumption, and tourism. Furthermore, S&P noted that progress toward European Union membership has prompted reforms in anti-corruption and justice sectors.
