Artan Hoxha, president of the Tirana Business University, says Albania's economy began feeling the effects of the crisis in fall 2008. "The first sign was partial savings withdrawal, luckily at a low scale, without signs of panic, but no less important," Hoxha tells SETimes, adding that banks took a conservative position in terms of loans.
Artan Hodža, predsednik Poslovnog fakulteta u Tirani, kaže da je albanska ekonomija počela da oseća efekte krize na jesen 2008. godine. „Prvi signal bilo je delimično povlačenje štednje, srećom u manjoj meri, bez znakova panike, ali ipak važno“, kaže Hodža za SETimes, dodajući da su banke zauzele konzervativan stav u smislu kredita.
