Bajrami responds to Murati: The only ones who are misinterpreting and manipulating numbers are you.

The deputy head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Hykmete Bajrami, has reacted to Finance Minister Hekuran Murati, who recently said that the “is being mismanaged” the latest World Bank report (BB).

Bajrami through a Facebook post has said powers are the only “that are misinterpreting and manipulating” with numbers and statistics.

”Hourran, there is no misinterpretation of the World Bank report either from the opposition or the opposition, or from the opposition close to the opposition, it's been said literally what the World Bank report says: just 37% of the working population in Kosovo, and according to this indicator we are the worst in the region”, Bajrami wrote.

While according to the Kosovo Statistics Agency at the end of 2023 we had 440 448 women and 237 123 men off the working market aged 15 to 64x1>, Bajrami has said.

MP Bajrami further wrote that the figures are challenging Government “more than the media and opposition”.

The only ones who are misinterpreting and manipulating numbers are you, no one else, that figures are challenging you with more than the media in the opposition. You are a hostage to the frauds and promises of your”, Bajrami said.

Minister Murati through a post said that with Kurti Government, there are almost twice as many jobs as in other governments since 2012.

“Unemployment has fallen in all states of the Western Balkans, except for Kosovo”, the World Bank said in a recent report released Thursday, saying that only 37.1% of Kosovars are employed.
