SDSM Highlights Economic Challenges Amidst Rising Prices and Decreased Investment
At the 32nd Congress of the Social Democratic Party (SDSM), Dr. Veno Filipče, the party’s president, addressed concerns regarding the current economic situation in North Macedonia. Filipče emphasized the struggles faced by many citizens due to low wages and a lack of economic security.
Speaking at the program, Filipče cited several key economic indicators as evidence of significant challenges. According to available data, prices of goods and services rose by 6% in the last month of the year. Furthermore, employment in the industry decreased by approximately 3% year-on-year, and foreign direct investment declined by 60%.
“The situation demands immediate attention,” Filipče stated. He argued that the current period of uneven growth and inflation underscores the need for a strong social democratic response. Filipče asserted that the SDSM is uniquely positioned to address these issues.
He believes the party’s focus is crucial given the prevailing economic conditions and the concerns of citizens experiencing hardship due to rising costs and limited opportunities. The party intends to advocate for policies aimed at bolstering economic stability and providing greater security for citizens.
