After unprecedented levels of M&A activity in 2018, the M&A market in Albania has slowed down in the last 12 months. Telecoms & IT was the main market driver, with all four transactions on record from that sector.
Despite the slowdown, investors from within and from beyond the region remain interested in the country and large assets that come to market usually attract the interest of some major players.
