Opposition: Government is tricking investment numbers

According to them he's trying to present himself and the Government as more successful, with this report he has shown they are the worst government than the first seven years.

LDK MP Besian Mustafa said that Minister Murati has been trying to present him as a success for the second three months of this year, not comparing the first three months, in which, according to him, if he compares the first six months to the past years are higher than this year.

The minister of finance, who would have to be at least a finance and numbers expert, unfortunately made a basic error, essential in calculating numbers, trying to present the second three months of this year as successful. But he forgot to see them and compare them to the first three months of this year, including the first six months of this year and compare them to the past years. If you view it as such, this year's first six months in capital investments, according to the minister of finance's report, is around 150m euros. But if you compare it to 2017 capital investments in the first quarter of 2017 were 160m euros, so it was higher than this year, and in 2018 it was 182m euros”, he said.

He said the minister trying to present himself as successful in realising capital investments, but has made a big mistake, because he has shown that he is weaker than 2017 and 2018, in investments.

So the minister of finance trying to shut himself and his successful colleagues in realising capital investments made a big mistake by showing and publishing to all of Kosovo's people that he and his colleagues are actually weaker than 2017 and 2018. Not to mention the year 2022, where there were some 79 million euros in the first six months - the weakest year since the war. The finance minister himself shows that he and his colleagues in capital investments, which is the engine of economic development in a country, have completely failed being weaker than the governments of the first 6-7 years. So a government that has absolute power, a government that claims that there's an unprecedented development in economic circles, is weaker than the 2017 of 2018<18x1>, he said.

AAK MP Time Kadrijaj said there is a deadlock in the country as far as foreign investments are concerned. According to her, the government is cheating in numbers and with economic growth.

This is the Governance of fraud, and it's cheating with numbers of both economic and economic growth. Because when certain analysts and the Lami experts are saying it's quite the opposite, they're trying by figures just as in every dictatorship even in this dictatorship they're dealing with fraud and cheating broad opinion, because there's no foreign investment, because in a country with such political crises no one comes to invest, and that's adjacent to Albin Kurti and LV-ja”, she told Online Economics.

According to MP, the government with the crisis created in the north is trying to minimize the damage it has caused Kosovo with capital investments and foreign investments.

I haven't seen these figures yet and I'm going to study, it's not that painful, because concern about us, but also in the meetings that we've had with the ambassadors of QUINT countries, but even meetings abroad have said it's disturbing that the level of foreign investment in Kosovo has dropped significantly because neither does it want in a country where we see that there will be crisis or that there will be war. This government with the crisis it has created is trying in this form to minimize the damage it has caused to the country and the state, whether with capital investments or no investments in education, health, and all other dictatorships in the country”, she said.

Finance Minister Iron Murati, through a statement on social networks, has said the second quarter of 2023 has marked the 110m-euro level of capital investments.

Murati has said that “after addressing and fixing many problems with projects, contracts, expropriation, this year has launched a new dynamic of capital investments by budgetary organisations”.
