Albania Interest Rate

Albania's interest rate remained at 2.5% in October 2025, unchanged from 2.5% in August 2025. The Bank of Albania maintained this rate to ensure price stability and support economic growth as inflation is expected to reach the 3% target by the first half of 2026. The decision aligns with positive growth forecasts and stable financial markets despite external risks. Albania's record low interest rate was 0.5% in March 2020 and record high was 3.25% in December 2023.
