The new center-left government will be committed to engaging and establishing close and permanent dialogue with local and foreign business community and employ best domestic and international expertise. This dialogue will be institutionalized with the establishment of the National Economic Council at the prime minister's office.

The government will be committed to identifying new sources of economic growth, or "substitutes" for several current sources of growth through achieving essential objectives for development and economic growth over the next 15-20 years.

The government will build a profile of the Albanian economy for the next two decades, identifying several priority sectors including manufacturing, energy, tourism, agriculture and agro-industry, education and services.

ON EDUCATION

The new government of Albania regards education as one of the best economic policies and a fundamental system that guarantees the country's overall development.

Public financing for education is aimed to reach the 5 percent level of the GDP, for a qualitative education for each child, regardless of origin, family environment or economic conditions.

A consolidated preschool education system will be created to offer access for all children up to the age of 5. Preschool education curriculum will also be reformed, under the curricular reform of basic education.
