According to the data of 2023, the indicator of the risk of being poor in Albania is estimated at 19.7%. This indicator is estimated to be 3.5 percentage points higher than the average of the European Union, but about 3 points lower than in Latvia and Estonia, which lead Europe with the highest rate of risk of being poor.
