Ranking of the 12 counties: 44% of the economy concentrated in Tirana, followed
Tirana

The economy is centering year after year in the capital, while the regions are recording a decline in their weight in the national gross domestic product (GDP).

Official data from INSTAT show that from 2016 to 2021, only the economy of the district of Tirana has increased its weight in the national economy, Durrës is almost at the same place and 10 other districts have suffered a decrease in the contribution to the general economy.

The GDP in value marked around 15.1 billion euros in 2021, while 6.6 billion euros or 44% were concentrated in the region of Tirana. From 2016 to 2021, the weight of the capital's economy in the national economy has increased by 4 percentage points.

After Tirana, the district with the highest contribution to GDP is Fieri, with 10.9 percent of the total. Fier's weight in the national economy has decreased by 0.2% since 2016. The third district with the highest weight in GDP is Durrës with 10.1% with a GDP of 1.5 billion euros. The weight of Durrës in the national economy increased by only 0.2 percentage points compared to 2016.

On the other hand, the district with the lowest contribution to the economy is Kukësi. The northern region, which is even the poorest in the country, had a GDP of only 237 million euros in 2021, or 1.6% of the national economy. The weight of Kukes in the country's economy decreased by 0.2 percentage points from 2016.

After Kukës, Gjirokastra is the district with the lowest contribution to the economy with a GDP of only 316 million euros in 2021. The weight of this district in the national economy increased during 2026-2021 by 0.7 percentage points.

After Gjirokastra, Shkodra, Lezha and Berati had the biggest drop in weight in the national economy from 2016 to 2021.

The rapid decline of the counties' economy and its concentration in Tirana is showing a rapid increase in inequality. The deepening of economic inequality serves as the strongest reason for the depopulation of districts towards Tirana or abroad.

In these three decades of transition, the national economy has progressed without a clear development model, while for the regions, the concepts of the regional development model seem to be early.

If the economy of the counties is analyzed in detail, there would be more deterioration in 2021 if the public sector had not increased its weight. In most counties, the public sector has further expanded its weight through increased employment, while branches of the economy with low productivity, such as agriculture, have progressed further./Monitor
