The Minister of Trade and Industry, Hykmete Bajrami, took part at the opening ceremony of the Inverse Trade Fair, where businesses will disclose their services and offers to the domestic and foreign market.
The aim of this fair is to create business ties between large, medium and small enterprises in promoting local products, improve the business environment, and reduce or replace imports.
In her speech, Minister Bajrami stated that "In this fair we have businesses from the region that exhibit their products, and for us is clear that we are a market based economy, an open economy, while we need to help our businesses to have access to foreign markets, and I believe we have done this during these three years, "she said.
She further added that businesses still need to be organized so that their voice is heard by the institutions. "You are the only one who creates economic welfare and new jobs. You are the one who contribute in filling the state budget, building the state and country’s infrastructure, minister said by suggesting that for this, your voice should be heard by our successors in the government so that they continue projects we have started.
This fair, different from the ordinary fairs, has another approach because the businesses will not exhibit their products on stands, but will have the opportunity to present their demands for products and services they buy in or out of the country.
