This warning (for closing) was also due at the weekend. There is growing resistance to a new closure, which has not been the same in previous months. We are aware that this pandemic does not have a magic wand that prevents it. We have learned from spring experience that the middle must be found that health must be maintained, but also the economy”, Rukiqi said.
He added that most companies are affected, whether they are closed or not.
“We're assuming that someone remains open, production, as the gastronomial sector closes, they're not having where they can sell their product, so it's automatically dropping production level. On the other hand, if we have a decline in retail trade, it too is automatically affected. The decision will affect most of the minority and gastronomy sector”, he said. “is not a matter of addiction, but it's a chain issue. If we have limitations that prevent people from getting to work. Seeing the increase in cases, there is uncertainty. We have increased deposits and at the same time decreases in purchasing power. The sequence according to figures is about one billion euros”.
Rukiqi has added further that many companies that are family businesses have little capacity to escape two closures.
It was a financial support that was welcomed by businesses, but that we were at a stage when it was not discussed closing”, he said, on one of Kosovo's weeklys.
