The value of assets owned by foreigners in Albania has kept increasing from one year to another, and from 3.9 billion Euro in 2012, it reached 6.5 billion Euro at the end of the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"600\" height=\"371\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vQPQVXS4OgkihulSb_QFiZ5I9oQu61TWoQXxaVQVr_oDWEzCPWMMREj1vKhXD9zM5oDlClo0T4lLxd1\/pubchart?oid=86265394&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><small>Data: BOA\n<br>\nProcessing and Analysis: Open Data Albania <\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Data Albania has also investigated into the origin of the FIDs in Albania, their values, and years.

The data show that Greece has had more or less a constant level of FID stock over the last three years. Switzerland, on the other hand, has increased its investment in Albania by 10 times over the last three years, from 79.4 million Euro in 2014 to 888.3 million Euro at the end of 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"86d502e9-6797-41bf-bc01-52a290bf164d\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Untitled infographic\"><\/div><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><div style=\"padding:8px 0;font-family:Arial!important;font-size:13px!important;line-height:15px!important;text-align:center;border-top:1px solid #dadada;margin:0 30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infogram.com\/86d502e9-6797-41bf-bc01-52a290bf164d\" style=\"color:#989898!important;text-decoration:none!important;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Untitled infographic<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/infogram.com\" style=\"color:#989898!important;text-decoration:none!important;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Infogram<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Netherlands is a country, which is investment increasingly more in Albania.
