We are much poorer the fight of Kurti Government as a crisis specator: Hykmete Bajrami in front of Ilir Mirina

Ladies Hykmete Bajrami, deputy of the LDK, former minister, in interview with Ilir Mirena, provides extremely simple clarifications to the secularists of the economy, how today our living, despite the changes in tectonics on the global scene with the beginning of the war in Ukraine, could be a little cheaper.

“A part of the economic crisis has come as a result of the energy crisis and changes of global markets that took greater intensity with the start of the war in Ukraine”, says Mrs. Bajrami faces Mirena.

“Inflation on us according to the World Bank is about 20 percent. Prices of basic consumer basket products have risen to over 50%. We as LDK for each of the criticism have given our proposals”, it continues.

In Mirena's question, after a few minutes of conversation in the interview, whether you know what inflation is, about Lumir Abdixhik's similar question one day at the Assembly, Mrs. Bajrami said that the CHAdefination certainly knows, but the actions against him made us realize that this government probably doesn't even know what inflation is.

We don't know if you're aware, with the fact that they're keeping about 700m euros blocked in Kosovo's budget account, 300 million that should be in circulation keeps them locked up and the same are down for about 140m euros, I don't know. I'm sure definitions know, but by action, we're sure they know”, he says. Bajrami in Mirena & Periscope interview.

Bajrami: Removing oil excises would have a chain impact on nearly 140 products

MP Bajrami says the LDK, since the beginning of the economic crisis, has had a series of recommendations on the Government on how it would have to react urgently to its cause so that the citizens' pocket could not be affected, as we see affected today.

And we've given recommendations on price increases, we've given up resolutions, we've said to get rid of the excise of oil, because that would have a chain effect on the price of about 140 products.

The entrepreneurs use the price of oil as an indicator. We proposed to leave TVSha, and they didn't.

They've only managed to exist 9 percent of capital investments and it's about 700m euros ahead of us to become capital investments, and these have saved only 79 million”, she says.

She says that real inflation, It's the World Bank number. not the Kosovo Statistics Agency figure. And according to the World Bank, it's over 19 percent.

“I believe that they change in methodology, the BB gets a kind of modulation, according to the ASS becomes the measure of averages of all products in the market, but the World Bank has the most creditable data, the ASK is month-on-month, the BB has a kind of modulative of a period they say is 19.1 percent”, she says.

And what blame can the government bring into this crisis?

“Inflation is imported, Kosovo government must be blamed for failing to take measures. The thing is, it's very variable. We have the euro. These guys had to react at first, according to Customs' 1 January . 31 September of this year, we have About 224m euros More than just oil products. Since the government has access to the beginning of the budget, it has made it very easy to give up on them, which means it's possible for a certain period to remove the excise, it takes me out of the T V S or half of it. This has been done by many countries, and it has reached a little more stable prices.

These guys prefer to outrun the revenue collection plans in ATK and Dogan, but on the other hand, they have poor Kosovo citizens.

If you don't have the capacity to get those tools back into the budget, it's better to get them into the pocket of citizens and businesses.

If we had removed the excise in oil, the price would have been lower automatically for 36 cents litra, if that were to happen, each product would be cheaper today”, Says Bajrami.

Why is it problematic now to set ceiling prices? Why is the LDK opposed to the bill?

Because it is problematic now to measure the cost of each business”, says Hykmete Bajrami in Mirena's interview.

I don't believe that the ceiling price for oil has a lot, when there was no administrative guidance and it had reached the maximum price of 1.96, at that time the market barrell price was $120. Today's barrell prize, I'm thinking September when I last saw it, you got $70.

The ceiling price isn't that it moved too much the consumer price, that the cent yesterday is cheaper, one cents more expensive today.

Such laws favor large merchants, large networks, and poor or bankrupt small businesses. Because a shop in a neighborhood or rural area there means, it is evident that the price of sugar, rice, flour and oil is known to be more expensive than the prices on large market networks.

However, that store there, I can sell 45,000 pounds per day, while any of the major markets in the country, have hundreds of thousands of euros in circulation, I know there are large margins of 70 thousand and 100 thousand euros in circulation a day, and one that I sell 100kg with a price of a 100 cents has an estimated 5 cents, while the costs are cheaper, because of the economy of the scale, when you sell more, costs are reduced.

And this store in the neighborhood that sells 2-3-4 kilos a day, has a higher margin because the cost is higher.

But as a consumer, I'm fine and informative, and they all know today, they know how much the oil line is in the neighborhood, the village.

The government has thought, I land calculated costs, but does not have equal costs a large market in the city with a village store. This one buys it from him, the price of this supply is the final prize for that big market.

But as a consumer I know it costs the most expensive oil tool in the neighborhood, but I buy it because I buy it when I need it. I don't take the car to buy a liter of oil from a village, for example, in Pec in town.

The Ground Price LawHe's got a lot of greats in his favor, because he's up to the marjae assignment while the little ones have the most expensive costs and they're going straight. Bankrupt.

We think it's unconstitutional., because it's contrary to Article 10 of Constitutional”, she says.

Asked that, since it is also anti-unconstitutional, will the LDK submit this law if it becomes such at the Constitutional Court, Bajrami says:

“Send to the Constitutional Court will depend on the final product of the law.

Article 5, paragraph 1.6 says that when you explain what temporary measures are the price ceiling, it says that economic operators are willing to offer the same product even after the measures are set up.

What do you mean? If a store in the neighborhood or rural areas has no accounts of sugar, rice, or oil at the prices that the government places on it, it's telling you. The government is telling you, you have to make up that even after the price is set, you have got a <x0 product, she says.

How do you stop this price madness?

“According to Article 10 of the Constitution, are free market economy, which means that prices in Kosovo are set by competition. It means bidding and demand, whenever a product has greater demand than market offers, you have increased prices.

As the offer increases, it begins to drop. We got one. A competition protection law is Article 49 that protects competition.

Once this law was implemented, we don't have such situations”, Bajrami says.

Bajrami: Faithful Bislimi makes this statement clear that businesses don't harm themselves to make Government worse

Regarding Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi's complaint, made in one of Kosovo media recently, that businesses are cutting off contracts for performing various jobs in order to bring Government out badly, Mrs. Hykmete Barjam initially laughed at the statement and then said:

I don't believe there's a business in Kosovo that hurts its business, to get the government wrong. Businesses at specific periods may point to one party at a time, but businesses don't harm their business, if they could, Mr. Bislimi would have had such an opportunity, it would have been good.

Businesses are saying we can't afford to lose.

Conform inflation contracts indexing has had to be done by the government”, she says, part of which, more relaxed, you can follow in the full interview.

Targat & Dialogue

Short in response, was Mrs. Bajrami on the issue of license plates, but also dialogue in general.

We support this government and every government that would be in the dialogue. So, in relation to Serbia, until integrity is violated, the country's sovereignty, we support it.

As for the plates we support law enforcement and agreements, but we think it's extremely important that in each step we co-ordinate with our international partners: The United States, the EU and NATO”, she said. /Periscope.
