Shkodra free zone

HOW SHOULD WE CONCEIVE THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT?
The final solution to the political problem, pro the victory of
the democracy gives this zone the right to seek a safe path to the
economic development. Under the current difficult circumstances,
the people of this area are interested in implementing those economic
policies that would guarantee the prosperity of Shkoder which, until
today, has keen neglected by all. The mixed staff in charge of this
very important task should have the full know-how of the reality
inherited from the communist society and should possess the proper
skills to choose and implement those economic policies that would
be able to ensure a proper strategic economic process for the back
warded region of Shkodra.
From the standpoint of some foreign economic experts and
especially from some scholars of the Curtin University of
Technology (Perth, Western Australia), the economic development
plan of Shkoder city should focus on the immediate improvement of
the economic welfare, without which no social harmony can be
achieved. GDP per capita is the most important indicator of the
economic development but it cannot be considered so reliable if it
does not retain its positive values for a relatively long period. The
economic growth of our region should be accepted as such only if
there is a growth in the GDP. Shkodra’s economic development
cannot be designed without including the factors of production, the
improvement of the resource allocate ion and the rise in productivity
of the factors of production. Everyone should know, particularly all
the developers of the economic programs, that human capital is one
of the fundamental resources for the economic growth and
determines the value of the profit-making potential embodied to the
individual. The human capital includes in itself: the respective talent
(which is native), job ethics, working skills and capabilities.
