The Washington Agreement Must Be Reactivated! 06/01 19:04
Commenting the last report of the World Bank for the business climate,
in which Albania’s level had dropped, the Minister of Economy, Arben
Ahmetaj, declared that the worst indicator is that of the government’s
ability to respect agreements.
The proof for this, according to Ahmetaj, is the the debt that the government has accumulated towards companies that have completed work and have not been paid.
“Based on the data collected until May 2013, the Doing Business team has classifed Albania in the 90th spot, from 189 countries in total. The trend of the second mandate of the former government shows that Albania has deteriorated each year in the business facility. By not paying the contractual obligations, the previous government not only has left a 600 million USD hidden debt to the citizens, but as this report shows, they have scared away potential investors through corruptive practices and irresponsibility. Our government has taken the mandate for addressing all these problems and the critical situation caused by the former government”, Ahmetaj declared.
