This review of the budget process of the Republic of Albania was carried out as part of the work programme of the OECD Working Party of Senior Budget Officials. In 2004, the working party established the Network of Senior Budget Officials of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European countries (CESEE). Budget reviews serve as a basis for the examination of a country’s budget institutions by the network at its annual meetings, and enable the participants to discuss the budget procedures of a country in depth.
A team of the OECD Secretariat consisting of Knut Klepsvik (lead) and Brian Finn,supported by Richard P. Emery Jr. (independent consultant) and Regina Bernhard(consultant from the German International Co-operation, GIZ), undertook a mission to Tirana from 29 October to 2 November 2012 to prepare the review.
