The Economic Society of Albania is to be congratulated for the initiative of starting a new academic journal: International Journal of Applied Statistics and Econometrics. It is my hope that the journal will be an inspiration for the economic and statistical community of Albania and Western Balkan, but eventually also internationally. To create and develop the journal into a recognized source of publication, is a challenge and will mean a lot of hard work for the international editorial board and the editors. I wish the journal the best of luck for the future.
