Haradinaj: Stop deepening trade balance deficit

Through a post in his Facebook account, Haradinaj has said the government should take concrete action to halt deepening the trade balance deficit.

The economy of the country requires constant attention. It is imperative that the government take concrete action to halt deepening the trade balance deficit through direct support of local producers, particularly exporters”, Haradinaj wrote.

He has said the deficit in March last year has been 219.9m euros, while March of this year has reached 320.7m euros.

The data from Kosovo's Statistics Agency for Foreign Trade in Kosovo, for March 2021, tells of a 45.8% increase in trade deficit compared to the same period last year. The deficit, which last March stood at 219.9m euros, in March of this year has reached 320.7m”, it has indicated.

Haradinaj has demanded from the government that urgently launch support for local producers and exporters.

“The further deepening of the foreign trade report to the disparity of exports is the collapse of those few achieved up to date and the return of Kosovo's economy to zero. So, I repeat that the government urgently starts supporting local producers and exporters”, Haradinaj has concluded.
