Government, bad borrower

The opposition
expressed its concern that the Albanian Government is increasing unpaid
obligations towards business, for failing to realize the budget
revenues.

“The relations with business have been damaged due to unpaid obligations, after the government failed to realize the revenues. This has brought a negative impact in economy, and has damaged the relations with the banking system. This is even deteriorating, because you want to forget the deficit by arbitrarily keeping under control part of the expenses and investments”, declared the Socialist MP, Arben Malaj.

The Ministry of Finances declared that they are not responsible for people who make more works than what is planned in the beginning of the year.

“The truth is that we open the year with a preassigned level of projects. The Ministry of Finances has always respected it. The Ministry of Finances takes it in consideration when the budget is reviewed, but they have no responsibility when there are more works than what is planned”, declared Dorian Teliti from the Ministry of Finances.

Unpaid obligations have been a constant concern for the International Monetary Fund, which says that this debt will reach 70 million EUR.

“I saw the list of all objects that are attached to the Law for the Budget, and the area that I represent as MP there are four projects that have been finished and have been inaugurated three times. I want to know how many of these works have not been paid”, Brace declared.

The representative of the Ministry of Finances, Teliti, answered that for more detailed information about the bills, they Brace should ask the institutions that execute the projects, while the Ministry of Finances implements projects through annual plans.

Since the national public debt reaches 60% of the GDP, the government is obliged to cut funds on public investments.
