Since the year 2009, local government units in ALbania are obliged to prepare a medium-term budget based on law 9936 on the Management of the Budgetary System in the Republic of Albania. With the mediumterm budget, the law requires an integrated policy and financial plan for a time-frame of three years. The law No.68/2017 on local self-government finance confirmed and further specified this legal requirement. The mediumterm budget is the interface between long-term strategic planning with a time-frame of ten years and more, and the annual budget.
