Share of World GDP: Albania

Analysis# Albania Share of World GDP Albania currently accounts for 0.03% of global GDP in 2026, reflecting a significant contraction from its peak of 0.046% in 1982. The country's economic footprint has declined 30.2% over the past 46 years, though it remains well above its lowest point of 0.021% recorded in 1992 during the post-communist transition period. This mid-range position illustrates Albania's modest but consistent role in the global economy. The most dramatic shift occurred between 1982 and 1992, when Albania's share plummeted nearly 55% amid political upheaval and economic restructuring following the collapse of communism. Since 1992, however, the country has stabilized, maintaining a relatively flat trajectory around 0.029–0.03% from 2017 onward. Projections through 2030 suggest this stability will persist, indicating that Albania's economic growth is tracking with global averages rather than accelerating relative to world output.
