The economy must be able to breathe with a full set of lungs, according to Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 2nd of October, 2019, Croatia’s presidential candidates have lined up, and among some expected faces, some rather surprising names have cropped up. The country’s current president, is also running for another term. President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović officially announced her candidacy for a new presidential term in the Croatian capital of Zagreb on Wednesday, and on that occasion, she also spoke about the current state of the Croatian economy, N1 reports.
“Our children and young people are our top priority! Education must be [conducted] in the interest of our children and young people, who must grow into citizens who are able to stand side by side with young people from the most developed countries, who achieve the best results and find the best jobs. This is also in the service of our society, as well as the state, and in the service of the survival of our identity.
The economy must be able to breathe with a full set of lungs. The economic policies that I will promote will be aimed at unleashing the creative forces and potentials that we have and can activate for the faster development of our economy.
I will seek measures to strengthen our investment competitiveness and support for exporters. Salaries can and must rise! There is no reason why the average net salary in Croatia can’t amount to 7,500 kuna soon.
The Croatian National Bank’s monetary policy and the credit policy of the banks can and must favour the Croatian economy, the Croatian population and the central government more,” insisted Grabar-Kitarović.
