From producers to consumers. Migration from the districts to Tirana is undermining the guarantee of supply of food products for Albanians. Demographic disturbances which are increasing import dependence are considered one of the biggest threats to Albania in the next five years.
"Internal immigration, apart from the demographic crisis, is producing fewer farmers and more citizens, thus unfortunately realizing the cycle "from producers to consumers". This situation has come from the negligent policies of the government, as well as from the endemic corruption that has engulfed the country", said Edison Zaçaj, lecturer in the field of finance and accounting.
The government itself admits in the new security strategy that immigration, especially among young people, has not stopped. According to the institutions that drafted the document, this situation has produced a "crisis for employees" and a slowdown in economic growth.
"The departure of young people on the one hand reduces consumption and on the other plunges production into crisis." "Brain drain" is a phenomenon that has involved us for years. Now is the time to build policies".
The government has identified at least seven "weak points", including that of unfriendly countries that could use the economy for political pressure. Knowing what you are suffering from is a step closer to healing. How much does this common expression apply to the field of medicine and to the Albanian economy?
"We have passed the prevention phase. Now we are at the stop. Some of them like immigration can be curbed. Corruption seems almost like an incurable disease", said Edison Zaçaj, lecturer in the field of finance and accounting.
In order to prevent immigration, the demographic crisis and corruption, the Ministry of Finance and Economy together with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, together with other related institutions, will have to draft a plan to address these challenges within the first half of next year. .
