TIRANA, July 29 – “A strong lek at this moment and at this time when a weak lek would have brought us a catastrophic headache, is a success story.”
This is what Prime Minister Edi Rama said in a statement to the media after the two-day extended government meeting held in Tepelena on Saturday.
“I had a debate with one of the representatives of the production sector a few days ago. We know very well that in the production and export sectors there has been considerable stress due to the strengthening of the lek and the fall of the euro in relation to the lek,” Rama said, who revealed that they had an extensive consultation with some of the best international experts. “Don’t forget that my advisor for the economy is Chancellor Merkel’s advisor. It’s a success story, it’s a success story. A strong lek at this moment and at this time when a weak lek would have brought us a catastrophic headache, is a success story.”
But on the other hand, according to him, it should be understood that it is also a strong alarm bell for the sector of fason. “We must go towards the closed cycle…I am convinced that this stress will encourage some of them to run towards the closed cycle as some others have done,” said Rama. /argumentum.al
