An International Monetary Fund team led by Gabriel Di Bella stayed in Kosovo from July 31 to August 4 to discuss macroeconomic and other issues, including progress in implementing agreements.
At the end of the visit, Di Bella said that macroeconomic conditions in Kosovo have remained favorable, adding that inflation continues to fall and fiscal revenues are increasing.
" Amid a challenging global context, macroeconomic conditions in Kosovo have remained favorable so far in 2023. Growth remains resilient, inflation continues to decline and the current account deficit has begun to narrow. Fiscal revenues continue to grow at healthy rates, implementation of the public investment program has increased and fiscal buffers have remained at appropriate levels. However, instability and heightened global tensions in northern Kosovo remain risks to the perspective that, if materialized, could add to policy challenges ," Express reports.
He also mentioned the measures of the EU towards Kosovo, which he said could become an obstacle for foreign investments.
" In particular, recent developments in the four northern municipalities led to temporary and reversible measures by some donors and traditional partners that limit new economic and financial cooperation. While these measures are not expected to affect the outlook if they return in the short term, they may become a hindrance to foreign direct investment and economic development in general if they remain for a longer time .
