Vision
In collaboration with our partners, we aim to harmonize approaches to policymaking through analyses and dialogue on economic, social, and financial issues. Our objective is to influence future policy processes by anticipating and addressing challenges before they arise. For us, findings and debates alone are not enough; they must translate into effective and concrete actions.

Our mission is to improve and promote economic, fiscal, and social policies while fostering the quality of deliberative dialogue. Based on facts and inclusive expertise, we aim to empower the economic and social decision-making process to enhance the lives of people and support businesses.

Initiative and Approach
ALTAX is an Albanian think-tank initiative that promotes a new approach to Albanian-European fiscal and economic policies. In collaboration with academics and fiscal experts, we aim to:
- Expand knowledge and assist in building fiscal capacities in Albania and Kosovo.
- Promote transparency and accountability by analyzing economic indicators at national and regional levels.
- Develop reports and studies to assist donors, organizations, and decision-makers with data- and fact-based analyses.
Services Offered by ALTAX
At our Center, we conducte:
- Preliminary policy analysis – Preparing studies on the impact and effectiveness of policies.
- Modeling expertise and policies – Developing models for practical and adaptable solutions.
- Detailed studies and reports – Through partnerships with individuals and organizations, we create in-depth analyses.
- Market and influencing factor analysis – Identifying trends and impacts on the market.
- Forecasts and policy recommendations – Preparing strategies and solutions for future challenges.
Our work is guided by the belief that while citizens determine the direction of the economy and society, governments significantly influence it through fiscal and monetary policies. We help ensure that this influence is positive and effective.
