Summary:The paper uses a simple analytical framework to estimate relationships between prices, money the exchange rate, and interest rates in Albania during 1993-97. The estimated parsimonious error correction model extends the findings of a growing literature on inflation and money demand in transition economies.

Strong financial policies since mid-1997 appear to have helped to restore conditions for low inflation and stable money demand
