In 2015, Andorra was in a period of political stability. The Prime Minister, Antoni Martí, had been in office since 2011 and the government had achieved some successes such as economic growth and improved security. However, the country still faced numerous challenges including high unemployment, corruption and poverty.
To address these issues, the government implemented a series of reforms aimed at diversifying the economy and reducing poverty. These reforms included increased investment in infrastructure projects such as roads and hospitals which improved access for rural communities across the country. The government also increased foreign aid from countries like France and Spain which helped fund job creation programs for young people in rural areas. See ehealthfacts for Andorra in the year of 2005.
Despite these positive developments, unemployment remained high due to lack of job opportunities outside of the tourism sector which accounted for nearly half of all employment in 2015. The government also faced criticism for its handling of refugees from neighbouring countries who had been arriving in Andorra since 2012. To address this issue, the government opened refugee camps throughout the country and provided humanitarian assistance to those who were displaced by war or conflict.

According to COUNTRYAAH, Andorra is the capital of Andorra which is located in Southern Europe. Andorra was one of 30 countries when the EU first published a list of tax havens in the world for the first time in June. The country also fell 27 steps in Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index due to the media’s lack of independence from financial, political and religious interests and the lack of, among other things, source protection that makes it difficult to report on the banks.
