Prime Minister Edi Rama has announced a new regulatory approach for business inspections in Albania. Moving away from a punitive model, the new policy aims to prioritize guidance and compliance support for entrepreneurs.

Under these reforms, routine inspections will no longer be conducted without prior warning, and fines are intended to be used as a “last resort” rather than a primary tool for pressure. To increase transparency and prevent misconduct or extortion, Rama stated that inspectors will be required to wear uniforms and utilize intelligent body cameras. Business owners have been encouraged to report any unannounced routine inspections to the General Inspector.
