Alarms economist: Large price increases, what could be purchased for 100 euros can be purchased for 130 now.

Gerjaliu has said that increasing basic prices for 1.2 percent in recent months will further hit the family economy of Kosovo citizens.

“In the economic aspect you see that there is actually a crisis that has hit the whole world, and this is reflected in Kosovo, and what particularly makes Kosovo's economy more difficult is imported inflation, the very fact that we have increased imports, we have shut down local economies and we have no direct support for Kosovo citizens, or that citizens have not had the opportunity to enjoy the state's hand affecting the rise of this phenomenon that will hit Kosovo's citizens the most, it has indicated.

According to Gerxhaliu, citizens are frustrated by this change of food products prices, because what they could buy in 100 euros now can't even buy 130 euros.

It is true that Kosovo will face social and economic pandemic after the RS pandemic, and in this direction the state should find mechanisms to prevent the rise of inflammation from import, how to be closer to citizens, and how to prioritize social policy. In this regard I believe that the citizens of Kosovo are frustrated by the fact that those who have been able to buy last year with 100 euros cannot buy it this year with 130 euros, and this is a phenomenon that is putting fear into place, and in particular when it is seen that the political agenda is dominant in Kosovo and that there is very little space for the economic and social aspect of” it added.

Gerxhaliu considers that Kosovo has weak purchasing power, but that they are going through this crisis thanks to the remittances of fellow countrymen.

“therefore needs to analyse the modes of how to support the citizen and how to stop the momentum of the rise in the float, because the more the float increases we have the weaker purchasing power in Kosovo and all this generates the negative effects that will be reflected. At the moment thanks to citizens' remittances and savings may be exceeded, but over the medium and long term it will be quite challenging” he has said.

Hajdin Zeqiri, retired, has complained that with this increase in nutrition, it will become difficult.

For the prices that have grown, we are not accepting anyone but we are having no choice. With a pension what a man can do”, Zeqiri has declared.

You can't eat bread properly either. They're not asking us. They're doing what they want. It's very difficult, no employment, small pensions what he did to me with”, he said.

While Blerim Gashi has said the country's economy has been destroyed, but due to the pandemic crisis, he sees price hikes unreasonable.

Because of the crisis it is not reasonable, but they also have their own interests. Kosovo's economy is destroyed, but we must survive what to do” is expressed.

Bajram Shala, from Pristina, has said he believes he will work on easing this crisis and raising prices.

It's a little bit of a family budget load, but prices are reasonable maybe and need to be expensive. I believe we have a very vigilant and far-reaching prime minister, and in his chances he will ease this crisis of this expensive, this inference”, he said.

40% of income in Kosovo's family economies goes for daily consumption.
