BoA report, external debt reduction begins, unemployment begins to decline, but

After a long period of upswing, the external debt has finally started to decrease. This is what the Bank of Albania has reported through the report that shows the monthly debt statistics. According to this report, by the end of June the external debt showed signs of reduction. Specifically, its level is 54 million ALL less. Presented in percentage, it is reported that the external debt already registers the level of 63.7% and is likely to continue to decrease for the rest of this year.

Specifically, Gross External Debt to GDP ratio decreased from 66.6% to 63.7%. The performance of the BJB surplus during the quarter, notices the contraction of the external debt in the long run ", the report states. Meanwhile, the Bank of Albania shows that most of the total debt is created by the general government. Given that these debts are taken in foreign currency and it is likely that the value of their return will pass to a higher level. However, according to the BoA, the fact that the debt has started to follow a downward trajectory should be considered positive and predicts that by the end of this year the level of reduction will be even higher. The data show that, during the second quarter of 2021, total withdrawals or new debt inflows, generated by borrowing activity, amount to 215 million euros, of which 32 million euros belong to the public sector.
