Albania: Internal Economic Situation in Albania

A file of reports concerning the internal economic situation in Albania. The documents include a review of the Albanian economy for the years 1976–1980 and 1981–1985, covering national income, industrial production, agriculture, investments, internal and foreign trade, living standards, national finances, and military expenditure. Further commentary examines how Albanian progress on industrialisation has stalled due to import restrictions and the break with China; issues caused by Albania's lack of capital, foreign currency, and modern technology; and Albanian successes in agriculture, which have led to the country becoming self-sufficient in food supplies. The file also includes a Canadian review of a report on the implementation of the sixth Albanian five-year plan for 1976–1980, and the targets for the seventh five-year plan for 1981–1985.
