Finance Minister, Avdullah Hoti, said that the government of Kosovo expects to close the year with 4 percent economic growth and the estimates are that this figure will be even higher in 2017. “We have a significant improvement in tax payment,” said Hoti in the meeting of the parliamentary commission on budget and finance.  He added that if progress is made in projects including energy and the Trepca mining complex, “we can rest assured that the economic growth will be much higher.”
