investimet

Investimet is the Albanian term for investments, referring to the allocation of resources—primarily financial capital but also time, talent, and other assets—into projects or assets expected to generate future benefits. Investments aim to increase value, income, or productivity, and they involve risk and opportunity costs. The concept applies at individual, corporate, and national levels and is a central element of capital formation and long-term growth.

Investimet can be broadly categorized as financial investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds), real assets or capital expenditures (land, buildings, machinery, infrastructure), human capital investments (education, training, health), and research and development. Public and private sectors both pursue investime to expand capacity, improve efficiency, or foster innovation, with different risk profiles and time horizons.

Evaluation relies on financial metrics such as return on investment, net present value, and internal rate of return, along with broader indicators like cost of capital and risk-adjusted measures. At the macro level, gross capital formation—often reported as a share of gross domestic product—reflects the scale of investimet in an economy and its potential growth path.

In Albanian economic discourse, investimet are discussed in policy documents, corporate plans, and financial markets as a driver of productivity, competitiveness, and fiscal sustainability. They are influenced by factors such as interest rates, regulatory environment, political stability, and access to finance.
