Foreign Holders of Debt are those international financial institutions that profit foreign debt through bilateral or multilateral agreements. Foreign Debt Stock divided by concessional has undergone changes in the direction of growth of loans signed in terms of non concessional resources for the financing of projects with strategic significance.

Albania already qualifies as a country of average income, which has brought as a result the decrease of the level of concessional of foreign loans. As a result, the terms of the agreements of the credit market in general have changed.

This is a good indication of the improvement of management in the implementation of foreign projects, resulting in increased performance and cost reduction.
