"Tightening" procedures for public investments - Unique list/Full feasibility study for every project exceeding 50 million lek
The government has decided to strengthen the rules for public investment projects in the country. Referring to the instruction of the Ministry of Finance, published in the Official Gazette, now every proposal for a public investment project, which has a full value above the limit determined by instruction of the Minister of Finance, to be included in the Unique List of Projects of National Importance, must be accompanied by a full feasibility study.
While any proposal for a public investment project, which has full value within the financial limits determined by instruction of the Minister of Finance, must be accompanied by a simplified feasibility study.
According to the existing instruction of the Ministry of Finance, the unique list of public projects in Albania is a database where all public investment projects from the state budget, to donors and public-private partnerships are registered. The government has set a minimum monetary limit of projects included in this list which is at the level of 50 million lek.
This limit applies to new projects that are mainly proposed by ministries, municipalities and other public institutions. This instruction aims to increase the level of transparency in the preparation of proposals and expectations from the implementation of projects, as well as a better assessment and monitoring of their impact.
Currently, major investments in Albania are part of the Unique List of Projects of National Importance. The list contains public investment projects that represent strategic importance in terms of the country's economic and social development, regardless of their source of financing.
The list published in the Official Gazette as part of the 2026-2028 priority policy document categorizes projects that capture significant monetary values, according to their priority level in A, B and C, as well as divided into categories, mature, partially mature and immature.
Mature projects are considered those projects for which a feasibility study has been conducted and is considered feasible, or when the project is in an advanced stage of compiling technical documents.
There are 52 such projects in this status, in all sectors of the economy, such as infrastructure, energy, environment, health, education, economic development, regional development, justice, etc.
Projects that have matured in the Unique List of Projects of National Importance and have not been budgeted within three years of the completion of the feasibility study, in order to be budgeted, must review the feasibility study. Public investment projects approved in the Unique List of Projects of National Importance are included in the list until the full value of the financing is secured.
