Albania
Governmental Bodies and Control
Albania
Governmental Bodies and Control
In its last months in power, Albania's communist regime
engaged nine ministries in the battle to free up the
country's
paralyzed economy. The Council of Ministers and the
Ministry of
Finance formed the hub of economic decision making, and
workers
and managers at troubled enterprises regularly turned
directly to
them for direction. The Ministry of Finance took most
responsibility for implementing the government's economic
reform
programs. It drew up accounting and tax regulations as
well as
rules on the documentation of business activity and
contributions
to social security funds. Inspectors from the Ministry of
Finance, known as the "treasury police" or "financial
police,"
enforced the country's economic laws, oversaw customs
posts, and
worked, albeit with little success, to curb black-market
speculators and take action against violators of price
ceilings.
The other ministries concerned with the economy, such as
agriculture, construction, industry, trade, and
transportation,
implemented plans affecting their respective sectors.
