More Chinese and Arab goods in February/ Imports fell significantly with Turkey, Germany and Italy
According to the data, in February, imports of goods reached a value of 68 billion lek, decreasing by 8.6%, compared to a year earlier. Even if we analyze the first two months of the year in terms of imports, we still see a decrease of 4.7%, compared to the first two months of 2024.
"Scan Intel" has taken into account the data for the second month of the year regarding the main partners. Which countries complete the "Top 10" of the main suppliers of goods?
The figures show Italy in first place, followed by Turkey, China, Greece, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, the United States, Poland and France. Compared to the same month last year, it seems that the main partners have changed. INSTAT figures say that India and South Korea have dropped out of the ranking to be replaced by Saudi Arabia and Poland.
In February 2025, the countries with which Albania had the largest increase in imports were Saudi Arabia with 225%, China with 16.6%, Greece with 10%, Serbia with 13.5%, Poland with 11.8% and France with 9.8%.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, among the main partners where the largest decline is recorded, we can mention Turkey with 41%, Germany with 12.1%, Italy and the United States with 2.5% and 1.2% respectively.
If we talk in two-month terms, the countries with which Albania has had the greatest increase in imports are Italy with 1.2%, China with 31.1% and Greece with 6.3%.
