Albania-IMF. Albania’s economy was strongly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic during the first half of this year, Gent Sejko, governor of the Bank of Albania (BoA), said during a videoconference with representatives of the International Monetary Fund. The videoconference participants discussed the economic impact of Covid-19 and the country’s prospects for recovery, the BoA said in a press release on Friday.
