Murati boasted that families enriched their governance, MP Bajrami reacts: Debt Company

Democratic League MP Hykmete Bajrami has reacted after the finance minister, Iron Murati,'s boast with increased family deposits figures in banks.

Through a Facebook response, Bajrami outlined a series of negative economic indicators that, according to her, make the financial head's statistics worthless. Among them is the publication of an increase in overexplosive, statistical, which counters Murati's optimistic portrayal of raising family deposits.

But as the deposits are up to 1.5 billion euros, and these are no indication of well-being, let's show how much the oversurgeptions of our citizens have increased in banks. According to Kosovo Central Bank data, bank surpluses have increased from 1 billion and 682m euros in terms of 2020 to 5 billion and 342m euros for 2023. These are short-term debts that citizens take into banks to finance mainly household consumption (in all cases, citizens entered minus the bank has the current 20th of the month, and then when they receive the salary at the beginning of the following month, they return the debt. Overdrafts also use businesses, not investments, with a lot of operational spending)” , Bajrami clarified.

It has further stressed that Kosovo citizens have been forced to plunge into loans as a result of high prices.

The truth is quite different, the price hikes and the lack of any measure of government has forced an entire population to become indebted, and but some of the citizens who have a slightly better financial state are saving their money in banks, because they are saving, are limited to spending, so sêpo is investing because there is a lack of economic security and not just”, She said.
