Albania has introduced several legislative initiatives aimed at increasing institutional and economic transparency.

In early August, the Ministry of Economy and Innovation proposed a draft law to amend employment promotion regulations. The proposal requires employers to disclose salary ranges for vacancies and mandates that companies with 125 or more employees meet hiring quotas for vulnerable groups. The draft also includes plans for a digital professional history system to facilitate participation in the European Employment Services (EURES) network.

Following this, the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Protection of Personal Data launched a public consultation in late August regarding secondary legislation for Law no. 12/2026, ‘On Lobbying in the Republic of Albania.’ Developed with Council of Europe support, these regulations aim to establish a Lobbying Register, define reporting and verification processes, and implement a Code of Conduct to prevent conflicts of interest.
