Permet, a beautiful Albanian town, has more vendors than buyers as poverty

We have everything except the sea is the slogan that invites tourists to visit the city of Përmet. But the bounty of nature seems not to be enough for the citizens of Përmet, who have significantly reduced their expenses even for daily food.

In the city's industrial and food market, you find more merchants, if you can call them that, selling than citizens buying. The latter complain that the prices are too high and unaffordable for them.

On the other hand, merchants also feel the decline in purchasing power. Lists of debtors can also be found in bakeries. While traders in the food market show that even a week goes by without making any profit.

This economic situation has greatly increased the abandonment of the city, by people capable of working, who migrate to bigger cities as well as to the capital. (A2 Televizion)
