6 minutes agoThe less ambitious course than Haradinaj and Mustafa in terms of economic growth: Things We Need to Know
Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)Kosovo's new prime minister turns out he is not ambitious at all as far as Kosovo's budget increases are concerned. His expectation of growth in the four-year mandate turns out not to differ from other prime ministers, while the budgetary relocation is the most complicated process he has to deal with. The budget for the year [...]
The 2008 budget was only 816m euros, while the 2019 budget was about 2 billion and 300m euros. From these figures it turns out that Kosovo's budget has tripled for the past eleven years, despite increased public spending, various abuses with its division, luxury spending, growing social schemes, and multibillion capital projects.
New Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti promised that after four years the Kosovo budget would be 3 billion euros, writes Periscopi.
Taking into account the trend of budget growth in Kosovo, such a thing is expected to be easily feasible. Even if Kosovo's prime minister is, let's assume him with all due respect, Labinoto Tahiri.
At the session called by Kurti to vote as prime minister, no PDK deputies opposed that. It was Bedri Hamza who questioned whether Mr. Hamza's economic plans. Kurt could be accomplished with only 3 billion euros.
But he made a mistake that was not even observed by Vetevendosje. In fact, Kurti will have access to over 10 billion for the next four years if the increase in the state budget continues at the pace of past governments.
However, should we expect more from Kosovo's new prime minister?
“Change” as a concept seems to be not committed to economic development and economic growth in the country. The state budget ʹ according to Kurti's own words will grow just as early.
But promises of increasing the state budget had also given the former prime ministers, Isa Mustafa of Ramush Haradinaj. Both had fulfilled their promise, for it did not depend entirely on them.
In fact, Kurt's main point of economic plan should be to reshape the budget, not to raise the budget.
With the deadline for adopting the upcoming budget, Kurt's plans for relocation can take a long time.
It has sounded inconsistent on many of the points during the pre-election campaign, both in the weekly shift in distribution of millions and in non-identification of strategic development plans.
We remember that in the last year, Kosovo had a 4.5 percent economic growth, which was Europe's sixth fastest growth. /Periscope
