Dalam bahasa sederhana
This section explains how Albania earns its money — tourism, farming, energy, factories and money sent home from abroad.
Nothing in this section is investment advice or a recommendation about any company or security. Where a figure appears it carries its own observation period and source; figures a company does not publish are left blank rather than estimated.
