Everything is fine according to Kurt, says government had extraordinary performance in the economy

At the joint meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi and Minister Iron Murati, the prime minister thanked them for the support the IMF has given to the Republic of Kosovo to date.

“Prime Minister Kurti said that although the pandemic has brought considerable strain as we approach the second year of pandemic, the extraordinary performance of our economy with an average growth of 10.4% in the first part of 2021, makes us optimistic that this will be the growth trajector of the country for the next few years. This performance has also affected budget revenues that have enabled us to implement the points of the governing programme earlier than we planned, which can also be seen with the 2022 budget, which was approved at the latest meeting of the Government”, the government communiqué said.

In this regard it said, that Kosovo represented a unique case in the world, where the diaspora had such a high return home, following the release of measures”, is said to be further in the government communiqué.

The “meeting also discussed successful measures to formalise the government's undertaken economy, resulting in more budget revenues. Also discussed was inflation, which is the phenomenon shown in recent months on a global scale and measures, that our government and various governments around the world are undertaking to help citizens”, is said to end the government's announcement.
