In a recent meeting with businessmen from Tetova and the Pollog region, Ali Ahmeti, the chairman of the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), highlighted the urgent need for a conducive legal infrastructure to spur business growth in North Macedonia. Acknowledging the nation’s successful bid to stabilize state security, which culminated in NATO membership, Ahmeti stressed that the next critical chapter in the country’s development involves confronting economic challenges head-on. Reflecting on past achievements, he emphasized the importance of leveraging this newfound stability to create an environment where businesses can flourish both internally and externally.
Naser Ziberi, DUI’s candidate for prime minister, echoed Ahmeti’s sentiments by outlining the party’s economic priorities. He particularly focused on addressing the economic repercussions of the ongoing pandemic. Ziberi emphasized that through effective decentralization policies and necessary amendments to existing laws, the government could substantially support and rejuvenate the national economy. He asserted that the removal of obstacles currently hindering business operations would be crucial in attracting both local and foreign investment to North Macedonia.
The consensus at the meeting was clear: while past efforts have been rightly directed toward ensuring state security, the future must see a shift towards economic development and promoting a business-friendly environment. This entails not just policy changes but also active efforts to support businesses, thereby ensuring sustained economic prosperity. As North Macedonia stands at this pivotal juncture, the creation of a robust legal and economic framework could very well steer the nation towards substantial economic growth and stability.
