IMF report on economic growth clashes power with opposition

The Finance Ministry of Kosovo (FMN) has projected an average annual economic growth rate of 3.59% over the next five years. According to the report, Minister of Finance Hekuran Murati stated that Kosovo is expected to be among the fastest-growing economies globally. However, this projection sparked controversy between the ruling government and the opposition. Deputy Arben Mustafa from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) criticized Murati, arguing that the projected growth rates—rising from 3.5% this year to 3.95% by 2031—are too low compared to past performance under previous governments and insufficient to significantly improve citizens' lives. Mustafa accused the current government of failing to implement policies that attract investment, increase production, and create well-paying jobs, instead relying on aid programs. The Central Bank of Kosovo (BQK) provided more pessimistic projections, predicting slower growth in 2026 due to domestic demand and global uncertainties.
