Country specific features:
According to Doing Business 2009—the sixth report in an annual series published by the World Bank and IFC, Albania was ranked the second among countries which undertook reforms during 2007-08 to make doing business easier. The purposes of this initiative were to allow greater investments into the country as well as to simplify trade relationships with the other countries. This boosted the increase of outsourcing in the country.
