This is what the president of the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce, Lulzim Rafuna assesses, who asks the Government of Kosovo to create a strategy to prevent young people from leaving the country.
The head of the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce, Rafuna, in an interview for KosovaPress, says that also 2023 was challenging for businesses, due to the stagnation of capital investments by the government, not realizing projects with real infrastructure for investments.
According to Rafuna, the first factor that has influenced young people to leave the country is the issue of not connecting education with the demands of the market.
He called on the Government to create a strategy that prevents young people from leaving the country.
Whereas, in 2022, the government blamed the Procurement Review Body (PRB) for the stagnation of investments, Rafuna says that now the latter has been completed and the government must find the reasons why there was a stagnation of capital investments.
Speaking about the factors that have affected the country's economy, Rafuna also expresses dissatisfaction with the economic growth throughout 2023, for which he says that the forecasts were 3.7 percent.
In the end, Rafuna asks the government to create more incentive packages for businesses and to make a deep reform of the Value Added Tax and not to pay it as it is now. /E.Krasniqi/
