In 2019, the World Bank and the EBRD conducted a comprehensive survey on the bribery industry in Albania. The results of the survey revealed Albania as the second country with the highest rate of bribery in the world, ranking it only after Zambia. According to the non-public database of the study, in Albania a business pays an average of 3.1% of turnover as bribes to state officials. In 2019, the total turnover of businesses in Albania, according to the Institute of Statistics, was 17 billion euros. Since 3.1% of this amount was given as bribes, it follows that in that year alone public officials received at least 520 to 530 million euros in bribes from business.
Today the government is in its tenth Sweden Phone Number List year in power. Ruthless math says that 10 years times 520 million euros makes over 5 billion euros. Gone is 30 percent of GDP in one year. But bribery is only one of the forms through which government officials and state officials gain money illegally. Another form is the direct acquisition of public assets, mainly large areas of land and land in the coastal areas of the country.

Finally, there is high-level corruption through secret offshore partnerships in large public projects. Albanians do not know who is behind the ghosts of the incinerators, who was behind the shell of the airport in Hong Kong, or recently who is behind the network of companies that took over the Port of Durrës. The cash flows generated by these last three forms of wealth are very difficult to calculate. But today there are numerous public evidences that in Albania the officials have used them all. So the question that needs to be asked now is no longer; Does Albania have a corrupt government and administration? The real question that needs to be asked is: Is Renaissance numerically greater than GDP?
