Former Minister: Government Kurti failed in capital investments

Economic development was one of the priorities of Kurti Government, but from year to 2024, the executive is holding back about 1.3 billion euros planned for capital investments. For former Finance Minister Haki Shatri, he describes this situation as absurd, saying that the failure to discuss the planned means for capital investments was the trend of this government.

The government as a whole has failed, I say so for a reason because capital investments are one of the opportunities Government provides for economic development. In this period of how long this governing mandate lasted 2021 to September 2024, the failure in this area has been 1 billion and 375m euros. These tools have been provided but are not exploited, so this is a failure, a complete failure in public money management”.

Even economic analyst Mustafe Kadriyaj blames Kurti Government for economic deadlock, saying the plan for economic development remained only Prime Minister Kurti's election promise.

This Government is closing its governance without any striped tape as a result of their investments, and those strips that are cutting off this Government are investments of past governments but not something of its own investment. It is seen that this has no mandate for investment policies, and this is in fact taking it as their success that is not spending the budget, but in the market economy it is very important that the budget is invested in capital investments, Kadriaj told Rtv21.

The budget for 2025 is meant to be 3.6 billion euros, while for capital investments, 930m euros have been allocated. / RTV21
