Despite the challenges of 2022, Kosovo’s economy remained resilient, thanks to its robust export performance in both goods and services, as well as strong household consumption, encouraged by remittances. These factors are expected to continue to drive economic growth in 2023, supported by an accelerated trend in capital investment.
