The work is based on the network of experts who are well connected with ALTAX and are organized based on thematic and thematic subjects.
ALTAX, as an Albanian think-tank initiative aims at an innovative approach to Albanian-European fiscal and economic policy. Collaboration with academics and fiscal experts helps to expand and create a comprehensive audience to help increase fiscal capacity in Albania and Kosovo.
We analyze the economy, the legal system, the accountability of politicians looking at the national and regional level of macro and micro indicators, statistical data, market, government budget, labor market data and sectoral trends. Although it is the citizens who determine the direction of the economy and society, governments influence it through fiscal and monetary policy. We offer donors, organizations, and other parties the proper analysis of topics that are interesting for future forecasts as well.
At our Think Tank, we can:
We carry out a preliminary analysis of economic policies
Prepare a model of expertise and policies
We organize studies and reports based on partnerships with individuals and organizations
Prepare market analysis and influencing factors
We analyze all the data for proper political reflection
