PSD: Government Should Remain Spectators When Prices Grow for People · Global Voices

The PSD has called for action by the Government of Kosovo until it emphasises that the biggest blow will come to citizens with lower incomes.

On the other hand, access should not be signographical, nor should social structures interfere, nor in types of products. ” writes the Social Democratic Party, Pryscopi traces.

Some categories are more affected by economic violence, as well as some products are more essential than others. Tax taxes on such basic products as flour, milk, oil, salt, sugar, menstrual napkins should be removed. Acceleration is a method of intervention in historically classed inequality. In inequality conditions, ironing out differences only deepens them.” The communiqué follows.

We remember that there is great concern in the country's increased electricity tariffs, while yesterday, Minister Artane Rizvanolli has asked citizens to avoid heating with electricity.

Full status:

Citizen isn't just a consumer, but the government can't just be a spectator!

Kosovo is facing continued price hikes. This increase has occurred as a result of rising oil prices and warnings of rising electricity prices. This has affected the prices of essential products. The rise in product prices such as flour 28%, 40% oil, sugar 12%, according to the market, reduces the purchasing power of money we have (so it reduces its value) which means that by the same 10 euros of yours at 24 %s of the price of products you can buy according to its remaining power as if you had only 7.60 euros at current prices or to buy the same products that you bought at 10 Euros, you now have to spend over 12.40. The hit by this 24% inflation, which according to the oil and electricity prices movement is expected to go up to 40%, is and will be all those paid in fixed salaries such as civil servants, health staff, private sector workers who are paid with fixed salaries, social cases and pensioners.

This inflation affects us all, but it's going to be in low-income layers, so minimal, and that's not how the income has satisfied their needs. Pensioners from their inflow of 100 Euros would be hit with a drop in purchasing power of 24 to 40 Euros, so the purchasing power of 100 euros taken as a pension would remain as if their pension were only 60-76 Euros.

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, in the past 12 months global food prices have increased 33% in basic products such as vegetable oil, cereals, and meat. The International Monetary Fund (FMN) said the impact will be felt more by consumers in emerging markets and developing countries struggling with the effects of pandemic. Kosovo is exposed to these increases, since monetary currency has the euro, and on the other hand, it receives major goods from import.

The Kosovo government would have to work in two directions. One direction should deal with the current situation, the other with the long term. The growth of local productivity, except that it is insufficient, it takes time and requires vision. While citizens are bad today and now.

On the other hand, access should not be signic, nor should it be in social structures or in products. Some categories are more affected by economic violence, as are some products more essential than others. Tax taxes on such basic products as flour, milk, oil, salt, sugar, menstrual napkins should be removed. Acceleration is a method of intervention in historically classed inequality. In inequality conditions, ironing out differences only deepens them.

The citizen is not just a consumer, but the government dares not be just a spectator. Interventions are necessary and urgent. The COVID - 19 Pandemia has left behind severe economic conditions in addition to health. Interventions by the relevant ministries and the setting of alarm by the Kosovo government for dramatic price hikes are delayed. Populations for minimum wage increases, rising standard impacts, as it seems, will have no real and no real effect on prosperity.
