Prishtina, 26 June 2025
The Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, together with the Acting Minister of Finance, Labor and Transfers, Hekuran Murati, welcomed a delegation of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce to the government building. The delegation was led by the President of the Chamber, Vincent Subilia, and included representatives from various sectors such as architecture, asset management, real estate, the food industry, energy, and legal services.
During the meeting, members of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce were informed about economic trends in Kosovo and the country’s macroeconomic performance. Prime Minister Kurti and Minister Murati highlighted that over the past four years, Kosovo’s economy has recorded an average annual growth of 6% of the Gross Domestic Product, while in the first quarter of this year, growth reached 3.6%. In this context, participants were also informed that Kosovo received its first-ever sovereign credit rating from Fitch Ratings with a score of BB-, which was reaffirmed in 2024. Furthermore, they were briefed on the characteristics and advantages of Kosovo as a destination for foreign investment, such as low operational costs, a young population, a multilingual workforce—especially in English and German—and strong skills in the technology and innovation sectors.
The discussion also covered the role of the diaspora in Kosovo’s economic development, where it was presented as a potential investor in the manufacturing sector, in enhancing exports, and in strengthening the national brand.
At the end of the meeting, further opportunities were discussed for concrete economic cooperation, including the involvement of Geneva Chamber of Commerce member businesses in specific sectors in Kosovo.
