Contexte

Being the only IDA-country in Europe poor economic performance is among Kosovo's key challenges. Economic growth in recent years has not been sufficient to improve Kosovo’s situation with regard to poverty and unemployment. The country remains the poorest country in the region, with 45 percent of the population living below the poverty line and 15 percent in extreme poverty. Kosovo needs to double its economic growth in order to achieve an income level similar to neighboring countries.
