Bajrami criticizes government: Prices rose 7.8% in September, while reforms were lacking

Hykmete Bajrami, an MP from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), has accused the government of failing to tackle rising prices, stressing that no structural or fiscal reforms have been implemented over the past six years to make life easier for citizens and businesses.

Citing September data, Bajrami said prices had risen by 7.8 percent.

“Not a single structural reform, not a single fiscal reform to make life easier for citizens and businesses. All we have seen over the past six years is an enormous increase in prices.”

According to her, households and businesses are spending more and more on goods and services, while the government is increasing its revenue through Value Added Tax (VAT) and other taxes.

Bajrami described the government as a “revenue collector and populist distributor of budget funds.”

“Every price increase means fewer products in the shopping basket. Citizens are paying more but buying less!” she wrote.

The LDK MP described the government’s performance as a failure.
