By applying this methodology to Albania, the study aims to establish a sound economic baseline for the national retail payments system in terms of costs of different payment instruments to better guide system development and enable high-impact changes. Moreover, the methodology allows for the development of substitution scenarios (from more costly to less costly retail payment instrument) and the resulting cost savings. It is designed based on four main principles: applicability, comparability, efficiency, and standardization and can be adapted to country-specific circumstances without losing its comparative nature, across time and across countries. 2018-07-20T15:01:36Z 2018-07-20T15:01:36Z 2018-06 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/318231529480715381/The-retail-payment-costs-and-savings-in-Albania http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30060 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Financial Sector Study Europe and Central Asia Albania
