Albania is making the difficult transition to a more modern open-market economy. The economy is boosted by remittances from abroad, mostly from Greece and Italy. Albania is rich in mineral resources, notably petroleum, natural gas, coal, bauxite, chromite, copper, iron ore, nickel, and salt. Agricultural processing, oil, mining, and the manufacture of textiles, clothing, lumber, cement, and chemicals are among the leading industries. Iron and steel plants have been developed, and the country has several hydroelectric stations. The government plans to buck up energy imports to relieve the shortages. A large number of Albania tenders and RFP's floats from Consultancy, Sanitation and Environmental services.
