FINANCE AS ‘’THE BEST BANK IN ALBANIA FOR YEAR 2023’’

Global Finance has announced its 30th annual awards for the Best Banks in Central and Eastern Europe
for year 2023. During the ceremony Banka Kombëtare Tregtare was awarded from Global Finance as
‘’The best bank in Albania for year 2023’’.

In the press release Global Finance magazine states that the winners of this year’s awards are those
banks that attended carefully to their customers’ needs in difficult markets and accomplished better
results while laying the foundations for future success.

Joseph D. Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance said “This year’s Best Bank
Awards recognize the financial institutions that offer the broadest range of services as well as the
reliability required for long-term financial relationships.”

The selection of these top banks amongst 22 countries of Central and Eastern Europe were made by the
editors of Global Finance after extensive consultations with corporate financial executives, bankers and
banking consultants, and analysts throughout the world. In selecting these top banks, Global Finance
considered factors that ranged from the quantitative objective to the informed subjective. Objective
criteria considered included: growth in assets, profitability, geographic reach, strategic relationships,
new business development and innovation in products. Subjective criteria included the opinions of
equity analysts, credit rating analysts, banking consultants and others involved in the industry.
