Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 15, 2025 / Notices 3967 

the MCC Candidate Country Reform Act 

to select from the additional group of 

countries newly included for 

consideration for MCC assistance. The 

new authority aligns the income 

threshold for a country to be an MCC 

candidate county with the World Bank 

threshold for initiating the International 

Bank for Reconstruction and 

Development graduation process 

($7,895 gross national income per capita 

for fiscal year 2025). In considering any 

such new countries in MCC’s candidate 

pool, the Board will continue to apply 

MCC’s long-standing statutorily 

mandated eligibility criteria and 

selectivity model to all selections and 

will continue to prioritize the 

opportunity to reduce poverty through 

economic growth. 

Country Newly Selected for Compact 

Assistance 

Using the criteria described above, 

Albania, a candidate country under 

section 606(a) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 

7705(a)), was newly selected as eligible 

for assistance under section 607 of the 

Act (22 U.S.C. 7706). Albania is invited 

by MCC to develop a compact. 

Albania: A prior MCC threshold 

program partner, Albania performs well 

on the scorecard, passing 15 of 20 

indicators overall. A stable democracy 

with a record of competitive elections, 

Albania is expected to hold 

parliamentary elections on May 11, 

2025. In recent years, Albania has 

adopted critical anti-corruption and rule 

of law reforms amid efforts to join the 

European Union, which are reflected in 

its performance on the scorecard. 

Despite sound economic governance, 

Albania continues to face headwinds in 

its development path given its 

vulnerabilities to geopolitical and 

natural disaster-related shocks, which 

have disproportionately affected the 

poor in recent years; 14 percent of the 

population lives on less than $6.85 per 

day—the World Bank’s poverty line for 

upper middle-income countries. MCC’s 

Board selected Albania as eligible to 

develop a compact in recognition of 

Albania’s democratic history, progress 

fighting corruption, and ongoing 

development needs.
