Hot for Kurti Government: Woe to them, increase subsidies, and reduce investments

Former Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti has called the Kurti Government miserable. According to Hoti, increasing subsidies and transfers is a sign of poverty. “Woe to the economy where subsidies increase and investments are reduced. Look at the picture below.

“Woe to the economy where subsidies increase and investments are reduced.
Look at the picture below. In 2022, compared to 2019:
- subsidies and transfers have increased for +70%,
- Capital investments have been reduced to -21%.
There is no economic development with subsidies and transfers. Increasing subsidies and transfers is a sign of poverty.
What leftist government officials did in 2022: - 41% of the budget has been spent on subsidies and transfers (in 2019 was 30%)
- 16% of the budget has been spent on capital investments (in 2019 was 25%).
This report should be different. That's not how the economy develops, but citizens' dependence on social schemes increases. No economy has developed by spending 42% of the budget on subsidies, but spending more on public and private capital investments. Only investments develop the economy, as they increase production capacity” writes Hoti in response.
