The service sector is not anymore a minor part of the overall economy, but a major sector adding lots of value to the economy. The service industry represents the fastest growing economic sector. The objective of the paper is to analyze the service sector in Albania for the past few years and compare it with other countries within the European Union and countries in the Balkan area. Most of the work force in Albania is employed in the service sector, marketing numerous types of services to customers such as: food, personal care, entertainment, banking, insurance, transport, consultancy, tourism, office services, professional services, etc. Over the last 20 years, Albania has transformed from an agricultural economy to a service-oriented economy. The service sector in Albania is new and dynamic. Two main services where foreign direct investment is oriented are telecommunications and financial intermediation, 23% and 33% respectively. Telecommunications is the most dynamic service sector in the Albanian economy. The main aim of this research paper is to portray an analytical view of the Albanian service sector, their quality and the future development. The paper will provide information on services which are not well developed and have huge growth potential. The methodology employed in the paper is secondary research of accessible literature, statistic reports for OCED countries, EU countries from Euro stat, World Bank, Albanian Statistics Institute (INSTAT), as well as the Albanian Ministry of Finance and other recognized institutions.

Poverty has forced many people since 1990 to migrate mainly toward Europe in search of a better life. The majority of immigrants have repeatedly sent the savings to their families in Albania. These remittances have significantly improved the Albanians' daily living and simultaneously have a positive impact on the growth of Gross Domestic Product. In recent years, due to the global crisis, there is a decrease in remittances from emigrants and simultaneously an increase in the number of emigrants who are returning home definitely, in order to work and live in Albania. These immigrants, once returned home, are investing their savings mainly in the area of services. In this article we will examine to what extend is the impact of remittances on the lives of Albanians and GDP, as well as factors that have led to an increase or decrease of this impact.

Early yet phase of development with the very low penetration level explains steadiness of insurance market to exposure influence of global financial crisis. Another factor contributed to stability of insurance market is focusing insurance businesses more on the compulsory insurance segment which is not fully liberalized. Conservative investment policies of Albanian insurers also contributed to avoiding influence of market risks induced by world financial crisis.
