The economy is concerned about the pronounced unpredictability of the business environment, while there is an urgent need to restart economically productive capital investments, said the president of the Chamber of Commerce (PKCG), Nina Drakić.
At the PKCG awards ceremony in Villa Gorica, she said that this and previous years were full of challenges that burdened the world economy, but that despite this, Montenegro recorded positive trends and the highest rate of real gross domestic product (GDP) growth in Europe for the second quarter.
“The aforementioned results of GDP growth should not be misleading, especially since for a long period of time we have shown an unwillingness to recognize inherent risks, the overcoming of which requires a serious approach and work, with the aim of raising the level of resilience of the domestic economy and improving protection mechanisms. If we want to achieve European economic results faster, we must implement structural and macroeconomic policy reforms”, said Drakić.
“There is an urgent need to restart economically productive capital investments, which contribute to the strengthening of the domestic economy. Creating predictable business conditions is a two-way street and the Chamber expects the new Government to be an active participant in that process,” said Drakić.
She stated that the economy is the main lever of development, without which there is neither a strong state nor a prosperous society.
