Albania remains the country with the highest risk of poverty in Europe. Despite efforts to develop the economy and increase per capita income, more than 40% of families in the country are deprived of many payments. 

In Albania, 44.5% of families with children and 37% of families without children are considered at risk of poverty or social exclusion, according to data made public by Eurostat.

This means that these categories face severe material and social deprivation, or live with very low work intensity.

They have an income of 60% of the national average, unable to pay bills, unexpected expenses, or vacations.

With this percentage level, Albania stands at the bottom of the list of European countries, where the average for contities is around 21%.

Despite the satisfactory economic growth figures and stable macro indicators that the country has had in recent years, the high level of this indicator is a signal that development has not been inclusive, as long as poverty in the country continues to be high.

Albania's per capita income, according to the latest IMF data for 2026, is $12.5 thousand, up from $4.1 thousand in 2010.

Albania has surpassed North Macedonia, which has this indicator of around 12 thousand dollars for the same period, while in 2010 it was 4.8 thousand dollars.

But the purchasing power of Albanians remains lower than in Macedonia, despite increased incomes. (Euronews)
