Andromahi Kufo
Abstract
With almost 20 years history, the Albanian banking system struggles from one side to ensure the economy safety and soundness and from the other side to comply with international requirements such as Basel II.

This article finds a significant positive and simultaneous relationship between risk and capital for the Albanian banking sector which relies on previous theoretical and empirical approaches.
