Bislim says citizens have 2 billion euros more in pockets than two years ago

Goodness is relative. You can be paid three thousand euros and don't feel like you have economic well-being. You can pay 500 euros and feel like you're missing nothing. It's nice relative to”, Bislimi said on Wednesday in an interview on public television.

But he said that today, “2 years after the end of 2021, citizens have about 900 billion euros to 1 billion more personal income”.

I'm saying that Kosovo citizens have in their pockets about 2 billion euros more than 2 years ago. You're saying, "I don't think so." Now you see me, you don't see any euro in me, because I don't carry the coins, I keep the money in the bank. That's not what it looks like. It doesn't look like the welfare of getting out. It feels within the” family, Bislimi said, citing corporate revenues as well.

“Statistics show that life is better”, he said.

Bislimi also commented on business complaints that they are finding workers.

The business doesn't open because someone says yes I want to hire workers. Business opens up we want profit. I'm saying businesses have 800 million euros more in profits, or 700, you're saying they don't have workers.”, he said.

According to him, the complaint “is in the nature of business”.

Businesses that never complain don't walk away. It's in the nature of the business that it's all about increasing ambition, and then they walk, they expand, and it's good for us who complain. Even when they make 8 billion profit they have to dock”, the deputy prime minister said.

And that, as he said, “is the engine that drives us forward”.

If I don't complain about having a small salary, I never raise wages. So it's in the nature of rational thinking that. It's not problematic”, he said.
